The Alpha's Exchanged Mate
The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 146

Alexander’s POV…

I almost shit my pants out to keep my throat from blurting out a terrific laugh. One thing about my drunken state is that I could always deny not knowing what I did and say I have no memory of whatever happened at dinner tonight.

There was no need for a seer to tell me Edwina was seething where she was seated. The moment I asked for Becca to be called, she practically shut off all her emphatic hormones towards myself and Caleb. It was more fun knowing that Caleb had no idea what was about to hit him.

He had shared a cold look with me when a maid went to get Becca. They didn’t know that the show hadn’t even started yet. I have had a long day; the least they can all do is indulge in some entertainment and stop acting so solemnly. While Caleb drove me back home, I had dropped a text for Carlos and Jason to join me for dinner.

The response had come in less than a minute; I felt excited knowing there was no way the table would remain the same with Becca, Carlos and Caleb in the same room. The main focus was to give Caleb a feel of what he might be missing if his feelings weren’t defined.

“Good evening, alpha. Thanks for inviting us to dinner.” Jason said calmly as he bowed his head. He did the same towards Edwina and the others.

Carlos was a different case entirely. I love him for his outspoken nature. He went straight for Becca after running a brief bow at Edwina and I.

“Hey there, beautiful. Thanks for yesterday’s meal. It was awesome.” Carlos beamed, looking so handsome.

Becca’s face lit up in a relaxing smile since she entered the room. “It’s my pleasure Carlos, you can always come by anytime, and I will treat you to some nice homemade meals.”

Edwina kissed her teeth in the most vicious manner next to my innocent ears. Hers didn’t get to me as much as Caleb’s reaction. His wolf was practically panting and ready for a tussle, his fist balled together like he would love to throw a punch if the chance was given.

“Please, let’s eat.” I smiled like the responsible alpha that I was expected to be. But really, there was never any harm in acting mischievous.

Carlos never disappoints me. There was an empty seat between Becca and Caleb. Carlos being himself and also an amusing thorn in Caleb’s flesh, sat next to Becca, grinning widely like a kindergarten kid.

Tonight was about to get lit!

I could feel Caleb trying to communicate through the mind portal. I was fighting so hard to not indulge him, but he was so insistent that I had to Indulge him.

“Yes.” The amusement in my tone was undeniable, not like I intended to hide it.

“When did you plan all of this, and I wasn’t aware?” He seethed.

“The minutes between the drive from the office to the home,” I replied in a singsong voice. These times were surely good.

“I’m so going to make you pay for this!” He growled

“Maybe you should pay more attention to Carlos than I,” I muttered, turning my gaze towards Carlos, who had his mouth next to Becca, making her giggle at something he said.

I swear that Caleb’s face practically turned red and steam emitted from all of the holes in his face. If I didn’t know better, I would think he came from a long lineage of dinosaurs.

The look on Edwina’s face was priceless, too; I could imagine if she had a wolf. She would have torn my ears down by now. However, being a Luna teaches one to be patient in public even when your alpha might be making life miserable for others.

Carlos appears to be enjoying his moment with Becca, and I could see Becca’s shoulder more relaxed due to the distraction.

Edwina spoke up first, “how did your day go at the office today?” The question was directed to Caleb, who didn’t seem prepared for it at all.

She had a Stern look on her face that said Caleb wasn’t going to have this session so easy.

“Fine, was working.” Caleb gulped in response. The look on Edwina’s face was undeniably scary.

She sighed, turning her lips side to side like she was contemplating on what to say. “You sure about that? All you did was work today?”

Caleb looked confused now, and I could tell Edwina knew of his visit to Becca in the morning, and she wasn’t in the least pleased. He looked towards me for help, but the goddess knows I would not roast myself by coming to his aid.

She returned to her food, her glare boring holes into my sides. My only worry was getting deprived of p***y after dinner.

“You look stunning tonight.” Carlos praised Becca, his whole body and attention on her. His food was a full plate away from being finished.

You could tell staring at Becca made him full, and her smile, of course, was enough to make a man go wild. Except it made Caleb want to tear the whole of my packhouse down.

“Thanks,” Becca murmured in response, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

“Hmmn, this tastes delicious.” Carlos mused as he took a bite of the roasted chicken he had on his plate.

For the first time since we sat at the dining table, I saw Edwina let out a genuine smile, making my boy Caleb look like he would shrink.

“That’s Becca’s special. She prepared it.” Came her response.

“Oh wow.” Carlos said with a grin.”I should come to learn from you then.”

“You cook?” Becca asked him.

“Yeah, once in a while, depending on my schedule for the day or week.” He responded.

“That would be really nice. I don’t mind teaching you.” She beamed at him.

Only Jason seemed so focused on his food. The rest of us had our heads spinning around the same circle but with different reactions.

When Caleb couldn’t take it anymore, he didn’t bother to show some respect as he barged out of the room. And with the look on Edwina’s face, only the goddess can help me get through the night with my arousal.
