The Alpha's Exchanged Mate
The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 81

Author’s POV…

Becca stared out the general study window, watching the alpha’s private car drive into the garage. Her heart raced, knowing Caleb would be in the car with him.

She turned her back, taking a deep breath. Her hands shook; she was nervous, and the last thing she wanted was to see him. She had no idea if she was going to be able to control her emotions around him any longer. The urge to blurt out and scream at his face was so strong.

“Of what use would that be?” She questioned herself, disappointed at the turnout of the event. The last thing Becca wanted was to get in a love triangle. It felt like the moon goddess had something against her in terms of finding love.

Her first love had died in the war, leaving her dry and lonely. To top it all, she fell for a man who wouldn’t look twice at her. It made her feel too conscious of her looks, blaming it on the age difference between them.

“It is a matter of the heart, and it’s certainly unpredictable. It’s not your fault your heart beats for him.” The soothing words were of Luna Edwina softening into her thoughts, calming her down a bit.

“Becca!”

He called out. She knew he would find her soon. Caleb acted like a five-year-old seeking for his mother whenever he was around. Exercising her breath, Becca turned toward the sound of his voice with a wide smile plastered on her face.

Caleb beamed with delight when he saw her. He stretched out both of his hands. “And there goes my favorite person.” He mused, hugging her tightly.

Becca grinned at his reaction; he seemed highly expressive. “What’s gotten you so excited today?”

Holding her by the shoulder, he smiled at her. “You might want to sit down to hear this.” He urged, guiding her to the couch reserved in the room.

Caleb held onto her hands tenderly, making her heart beat increasingly. Her thoughts were racing about what he wanted to share with her so bad.

“You would get blown away by this.” He warned her, still holding onto the suspense.

Anxiety crept into Becca’s spines, “out with it already.”

“Okay.” He breathed loudly, “you won’t believe it but it’s the actual truth…. Ramona agreed to go on a date with me.” Caleb wheezed.

“Oh.” Becca mused, her excitement deflating at the news. How could she be so stupid to think otherwise ?”Good for you.”

Caleb noticed the change in her countenance, “I know what you are thinking, but I won’t get hurt, I promise. She might be nicer than you think and love me for who I am.”

“Oh yeah.” Becca wanted to respond in sarcasm. Caleb was so clueless one would think he was dickheaded.

How he didn’t read her countenance as that of despair and disappointment angered her. Snatching her hands from his hold, she stood up promptly.

“I would like to head to the kitchen, it’s almost time for dinner.” She announced, not intending to go into details.

Standing up to meet her gaze, he asked, “is everything okay, Becca? You don’t seem so excited.”

Maybe because you are the dumbest man I have ever come across. She intended to say but kept her thoughts to herself.

“What do you intend to cook?” He chatted happily as he trailed behind her towards the massive kitchen.

Becca didn’t have much work to do but supervise the meal to be eaten by the Luna and alpha. She had always loved the comfort the aroma of the spices gave her, but today she hated everything. The clanking of the pots, the excess movement of the kitchen staff, and the scent of the meal made her feel nauseated. The one whose presence irked her the most was that of Caleb. He trolled behind her like a lost puppy.

“Shouldn’t you be in your office or at home?” She managed to mutter.

Caleb shook his head lightly, “I came to spend the rest of the day with you, also I would need you to tell me what I should wear for the date. Should be tomorrow night since it’s the weekend.”

She had never felt the urge to spank someone so badly before, “let me be!” She said, walking away to the kitchen store room. In her frustration, she gripped the shelf veggies were arranged in, heaving. From her side view, she saw Caleb moving slowly towards her.

When he got to her, he stood behind her, his breath extremely close to her neck. They were hot and scented like mint. Caleb caressed her back slowly, using his long finger to trail circles on her back. Becca m****d in pleasure, still maintaining her stance. He moved his hands towards her breast, rubbing on it from the soft silk top she had on. For the first time, she felt grateful for such comfortable wear. It made her breast easy to access.

She felt him drop wet k****s, trailing them down to her nape. Becca turned and grabbed his neck hard when he found his way into her skirt, his hand rubbing lightly on her clit through her panties. She shivered at the electrifying feeling she got from the effect. Making an attempt to slip his fingers into her already dripping p***y….

“Becca!” Caleb’s voice drawled out, snapping her out of it, “is everything okay?” He queried, his face creased in worry.

Becca jolted violently, staring back at him in shock. Her hands had gripped the shelf so hard they were red from the effect. She had zoned out, lost in her own fantasies of Caleb making out with her. Her face turned into a bright red.

“I have been shaking you for a few seconds now.” He uttered.

It seemed strange of her to act weird; he had been standing at the door trying to figure out what was going on with her. Her wolf seemed hurt, but he couldn’t place what was wrong. They told each other everything, but it was apparent Becca was hiding something from him.

“Sorry, please excuse me.” She hid her face, feeling mortified. Her panties were stained from her wetness and s****l fantasies.

Running out as fast as she could, Caleb stared at her back in confusion.
