The Alpha's Exchanged Mate
The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 173

Authors POV…

John grinned in satisfaction at the fear in Sonia’s eyes. He could see her eyes searching the room for an escape or probably a tool to use against him.

Athena had kept her promise to let him in after a bout of hot s*x that made him shiver. She definitely had been yearning for him and didn’t hesitate to let him feel it from the drip of her p***y. The mere thought of it had him licking his lips.

Sonia stared in disgust and fear. She would have never thought the day would eventually come when her father, who had been tagged as dead after such a long while, would show his face. And today, of all days when she is meant to stay happy and grateful for the turnout of things.

“Hey, there, lovely daughter,” John muttered, still holding up the cynical grin.

A vicious scream bobbed in Sonia’s throat as she heard his voice. She wanted to believe it was just her illusion, but he was standing right in front of her in the flesh. Trying hard to scream, it seemed like something had seized her voice. She looked towards her daughter, who was sound asleep. Sonia wished Edwina or anyone would return to the room.

Pacing the room back and forth, John snickered, “can’t believe Edwina let you have all of these luxuries even when it’s obvious you don’t deserve it.”

She still couldn’t find her voice to respond. John’s eyes roamed Sonia’s entire body. Despite just running a marathon with Athena, he could feel himself getting a hard-on over her sight. Sonia pulled the covers against her body when she noticed the look in his eyes. She recognized that look too well; that had always been the look in his eyes when he came down to her room to have his way with her those years back.

No one needed to tell her that John was thinking about her being naked. And she was right when he took a few strides to reach her and had his finger coming towards her full plump boobs.

Sonia growled at him, slapping his hands off. Within a twinkle of an eye, he had a dagger out of his pocket, looking all vicious.

Sonia gasped, “please.” She whispered in an almost inaudible voice, her eyes pleading.

John laughed heartily, “can’t believe you are begging me right now. Remember, you looked so confident the last time you had come over with Ben. What has gotten over you all of a sudden?” Faking a gasp, he looked towards Star. “Awn, is that my grandchild?”

Sonia shook her head vigorously, “please don’t.”

Putting a hand to his chest, “you really hurt my feelings. Can’t a grandpa be nice?” His mouth ran smoothly on the words, but his eyes say otherwise.

Still searching around, Sonia tried her hardest to let out a loud scream. But nothing came out, her voice had seized due to shock, and with the look of things, she might be long gone before anyone came to her aid. She stared ahead helplessly.

John checked his watch and noticed he still had enough time to play around. He wanted to make Sonia feel the fear and humiliation he had felt the day she had brought Ben to barge in on him and take away his life. Turning him into a walking dead.

“Tell me, Sonia, how did it end between yourself and lover Ben. Thought you both were a pair made from heaven.” He taunted

“It’s none of your business.” She finally found her voice. “get the hell out of her now before I scream, and you get caught.”

He smirked, “your sassiness has always been a turn-on for me. Can’t help how you always seem ready to give an answer to whatever is thrown at you.” Glancing over at Star. “so is it a he or she cub?”

Sonia snorted, “why would you want to know that?”

“Of course I do, Sonny. This is my first grandchild we are talking about. I need every detail about the child.”

“Get out!” She stood up all of a sudden.

John stood at the same time, his eyes looking more vicious than ever. In an instant, Sonia grabbed the small vase she had been eyeing next to her bed stand and threw it at him, screaming at the top of her lungs.

The vase hit him in the shoulder as he tried dodging it. John grabbed her arm tightly, slapping her hard across the face. Sonia fell to the ground, whimpering. She still felt weak from the child birthing a few hours ago.

John spat bitterly, “you bitch!” He hit her hard across the face again when she attempted to stand up. “I did all I could for you as a father, gave you whatever amount you ask for. Let you get married to the alpha and all in exchange for mere s*x. You should be grateful; it’s the only thing I ask for in return. You now intend to ruin my name and reputation?”

Sonia let out a dry chuckle, trying to hold her weak body up. Her lips had a cut from the thunderous slaps. “You are sick in the head. A psycho.”

Laughing like a maniac, “maybe so, but don’t think that would stop me.”

She didn’t let him finish before using all her strength to pull John’s leg out, hoping he would hit his head against the glass table in the middle. Sonia miscalculated. John pulled her up to him, held her by the neck and pinned her against the wall. Choking her tightly.

“How dare you try to fight me back?” He grumbled in anger.

Sonia tried to get his hands off her neck, but he was too strong. Her eyes darted towards the bed where Star lay, then returned back to that of her father. She knew at this point that if no one came into the room to rescue her, it was definitely her end. Tears dropped from her eyes as her life flashed right in front of her. Karma really was a bitch, just when she thought her life would be reformed and she could live a happy life with her daughter. Her past came back to haunt her.

“Let me go…” she gasped. “Please….”

John only gripped her neck harder when he could sense her breath slowing down. She struggled and struggled for minutes, but his grip was too strong.

In a few seconds, Sonia had stopped fighting, and her hands dropped by her side. After dropping her to the ground like a sack of potatoes, his ear picked up footsteps behind her door, and his phone vibrated loudly in his pocket.

Leaving out Sonia’s lifeless body, his eyes caught sight of her child throwing out its hands. Had there been enough time, he would have strangled the cub too, but he thought against touching it as the footsteps drew nearer. He went through the exposed balcony and jumped out into the dark night.
