The Alpha's Exchanged Mate
The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 71

Author’s POV…

“I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God,” were the words of Edwina before revealing herself to Sonia.

Sonia’s world fell apart into a thousand little pieces as she knew she had been betrayed by her sister.

She was dumbfounded, and even if she wasn’t confined to the small space of her little box of through, she would have had the exact words to express how she was feeling at the moment.

How she was feeling wasn’t quantified in words because she, in all the moment, was angry but felt like she didn’t have the right to be angry because she had brought it upon herself by cheating on her husband. Giving her sister room to marry him.

Then she still felt bad because she had told Edwina not to get married to him, and she thought Edwina agreed, but now she was acting like an imposter and Savior at the same time.

She had just broken down in front of the whole pack about her past and the deep truth she had tried not to admit sometimes, even before herself. But now she felt another form of pain and hurt mixed into one.

“You may proceed with your statement,” Caleb said, and Edwina glanced at Sonia. They were both looking at each other intensely and wished that words could be spoken at this moment. But except they were resolute to start shouting like two sales market women with no sense of class, it would have to wait.

“Can you introduce yourself and the role you play in this case?” Caleb asked, and Edwina breathed out. At this point, she was way tensed. The only thing keeping her from running away from this stand was the fact that she had already revealed herself to Sonia. Whatever that will happen will most likely still happen, so she just has to swallow whatever courage pill she has left in her and do this one last thing before breaking down.

And she let out an exasperated gasp one final time.

“I was formerly known as Edwina Sinclair, but now, I am Edwina Alexander Chase,”

The spite and rage that fell on Sonia’s face was immeasurable upon hearing her words. She couldn’t believe it, and Edwina couldn’t believe it too. For the first time, she gets to call out Alex’s name as hers.

She never thought that moment would come, and she could see how enraged Sonia was by that word. The utterance of the word brought out another measure of hatred from Sonia.

Sonia thought she had finally started to get along with her sister and finally began to like her, but now she knew there was this thin line between love and hatred, and she had just crossed that line swiftly.

Another thing she hated about this situation was the fact that a lot of people would fault her for hating or despising what Edwina had just done. Because she had done similar things to her, and one could even say at a higher degree.

But “F**k her,” she muttered within herself.

And she despised the fact that she came every time visiting and listened to her talking about her prayers and her wish to get back to Alex, whereas she had him this whole time.

What happened to statements like… “Hello Sonia, I am married and f*****g your husband now.”

And now she is feeling angry and guilty at the same time. Edwina continued.

“I am the sister to the accused, the ex-wife to the co-accused, and the current wife of the accused.”

When she mentioned it, she saw how complicated it sounded and how she wasn’t sure how and when she got enrolled and entangled in this hot super premium mess.

“Thank you, so what is your statement about the case?”

Edwina then paused and breathed for a moment. She was anxious and nervous at the same time. She wasn’t sure she thought this through, she had allowed the emotion she was feeling at that moment to drive her to make a hasty decision that wasn’t well thought through, and now she was struggling to make a statement. Was she supposed to come here and exonerate Sonia of all the pain she had caused her and know that she couldn’t do anything but watch her lose her life in the worst possible way? In a way, that would hurt her and lose another life because treason means death, and she was the only one that could help her get exonerated from that case and keep her head in her body and let’s not forget, a life is aside from hers, dependent on her to live also.

And she glared at her again for the second time, hoping she could feed herself with enough pain to go on.

After all, this was Sonia. She was no saint. She tragically slept with the woman Edwina called her husband and then got pregnant for him. That was the height of it for her, and to her, there was no coming back from that, nor was there amnesia of any sort.

And then Edwina began to speak.

“Being one of the affected parties of all these, I know first hand of all the pain I had gone through.”

Edwina’s mind strode a little to a time with Ben, and she wanted to feed herself with much strength from hatred in order to get the task done.

It was the moment they had made love in the shower, the moment she had realized for the first time in her life that she loved him.

***Flashback***

“Gosh, Edwina, you are so beautiful.” He apprised her with a glimmer in his eyes, and she could see his desire for her. He swiveled back, turned on the shower, and removed his sweat pants, and they were both naked again.

He stretched his hands for her, and she took his hands, and they began to k**s. All the way to the shower, and as the hot water poured down their skin, so did the passion that burned out through them.

She was gently moaning as the k**s deepened, and his hands were fondling her breast. And as he lowered down to tease her nipples with his tongue, she let out a loud m**n, and he took in her nipples and began to suck them. She m****d louder, and his hands moved from her other breast down to her legs, and he found the sweet spot between them.

“Gosh, Ben,” she m****d again, she found so much delight in what he was doing, and she could feel him gasping. The taste of water and him sucking her has to be the best feeling ever.

“Ben!!!” She cried out as she couldn’t take the torture of his hands and mouth on me.

“Tell me to f**k you, Edwina,” he requested as the tension between them began to tighten.

“F**k me, Ben,” she begged, and with one swift movement, he lifted her, her legs wrapped around his waist and supported by his hands. He gently slammed her back against the bathroom walls and lowered her into his length as he thrust into her.

“F**k,” he exclaimed. He began thrusting in and out of her gently at first. She m****d slowly as the hot water rushed down their collided bodies. And he thrust into her again, this time deeper, harder, faster until their cum rushed down their bodies down with the water. He didn’t let her go; he took her mouth again and kissed her deeply.

***PRESENT DAY***

She knew that was all she needed to think of to go forth in that moment about how she had loved him in all her truth, and yet he still betrayed her. At this moment, she was ready to save her sister and throw him under the bus.

“Ben is a mastermind orchestrator of all these. He wanted power and married me to get to my sister, and then to get to the alpha with easy access from the woman he loved, and that is just the beginning,”

Then there was more to all she wanted to say.

And everyone wanted to know more.
