The Alpha's Exchanged Mate
The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 126

Edwina’s POV…

I didn’t know why but the moment I was a step closer to Xander’s office, I adjusted my bra up a bit to show enough cleavage. A faint smile showed on my lips as I thought of how silly I had just acted.

It had been two nights since I last set my eyes on him, and in some way, I missed him. I had woken up earlier today, feeling some reviving energy surge through me. So, even though I felt mortified about my confession to Becca last night, I decided to cut myself some slack and enjoy the fresh air of a new day. Becca had joined me, and we had a pleasant morning.

The tea we had shared had gotten my energy so high up that I had gotten back to my room, hoping to get f****d. Only to remember that Xander was busy at work.

I did not want my horniness to die off because I knew touching myself won’t cut the deal to have a real d**k sliding in and out of me and making me gasp for breath. The idea of taking food to them sounded pleasant enough to serve as an excuse to see him.

Holding on to the paper bag containing his food and that of Carlos and Jason tightly, I dropped Carlos and Jason’s food by the secretary’s table as I noticed she wasn’t on seat. Then, knocking on the door slightly, I entered the office.

Flashbacks of the first time I entered his office returned to me. It had never crossed my mind that I would be coming back into it months later with a different status; his Luna.

He was seated on one of the couches in the office, with Jason next to him as they had their heads together, trying to figure out whatever was on the laptop that lay on the table. Jason and Carlos had been out of the pack lately, coming to join Xander and Caleb at the office to work on whatever it was they were hiding.

Xander wasn’t one to keep secrets; I had a feeling he would tell me all about it soon. Just as I locked the door, trying to be as gentle as I could, but it still got their attention. They both raised their heads up.

“Good day, dear Luna.” Jason bowed his head, standing up.

“That’s okay, Jason. How are you?” I asked, trying hard not to stare towards Xander. He looked so ruggedly handsome with the unshaven beard he had on. He must have been so preoccupied to not remember to complete his regular morning routine.

“Very fine, thanks,” Jason responded, turning towards Xander. “I would leave now, alpha. Would return later on.”

Just as he was about to leave, I remembered the food. “Jason!” I called out.

He turned towards me, “yes, Luna?”

“I dropped some food for you and Carlos by the secretary’s table. Please be sure to pick it up.”

Jason smiled, “that’s so thoughtful of you, Luna Edwina. Thank you very much.” He muttered before taking his leave.

Xander looked unnecessarily quiet, which was unlike him. I didn’t know if I was supposed to greet him in a particular way.

“Hi,” I muttered in a low tone, sitting opposite him as I bent towards the table with the bag I had in hand.

He had no response, still staring hard at me.

I coughed lightly, “I just thought you might need some homemade food. So, I had them prepare some Italian pasta alongside roast chicken and some mac and cheese on the side, just in case you want to go light. And for desserts, there are some muffins and scones to make your day,” I ranted, almost losing a breath.

“You might like to be a host at a fancy restaurant at this point.” He finally said, resting his back on the couch.

I tried hard not to roll my eyes; so much for my effort.

I sat back, uncertain of what to do. Just then, he leaned over, reaching for a piece of the chicken. Chewing on it with relish, he looked towards me.

“Did you make any of these?”

I shrugged, trying not to sound boastful. “I prepared everything, aside from the muffins and scones Becca had made. The rest of the food was made by me.”

“Boastful, I see.” He commented, still picking over each delicacy.

I scoffed, ” don’t you alphas learn to say thank you?”

Picking up a cutlery, he raised his brow at me. “Didn’t realize I was supposed to say that.” I could see the smirk forming on his lips.

I decided to let him be; it was obvious he was hungry with the way his eyes ran through the food. I should have known he wouldn’t feel comfortable eating at the hotel. Becca once mentioned how much he loves eating homemade foods. He was unlikely to Lodge for too long in a hotel unless he was on business trips, and that was before the accident.

The condition at which the pack was now required him to dump his comfort for the protection of the pack.

I watched as he took every bite in a manner that had me turned on. I wanted to k**s him and have a feel of the food on his lips. I wanted to run my hands over the stubble he had grown overnight. I must admit, Xander is a breathtaking man. He definitely has the ability to catch many women’s attention as much as he wants.

Somewhere inside of me, I felt glad I could call him my own despite having no idea what exactly was going on between us. All I knew was we enjoyed s*x with each other.

When he pulled out his tongue to lick on the fork he had in hand, I imagined it flicking over my nipple, and I felt my legs tighten over the walls of my p***y. I didn’t know staring could do this much to me.

“Can you not do that, please? You look thirsty.” Xander’s voice woke me up from my reverie.

I didn’t realize I had been drooling at the thought of him.
