The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 196

Edwina’s POV…

I must say Xander’s attitude towards me seems really different, but that will be a discussion for later. And if I must admit, I really like this newfound closeness. At the same time, my head might just be messing around with me.

The dungeon looks so unlivable; it’s no surprise that hardened criminals are the ones left to rot in it. But the dungeon appeared to be like heaven for my father; he looked so unbothered, and his eyes unrepentant.

The moment the guards called him out, he appeared by the cell gate. John snickered when his eyes landed on Xander and me.

“You have really got some nerves bringing her here.” John snorted at Xander.

I would have expected Xander to say something, but instead, he kept his eyes glued to me. My hands were sweaty and shaky. I didn’t know how I was really feeling. So many emotions rushed through me. Standing unprovoked in front of me was the man that had caused so much pain to my sister and me. The same one who had faked his own death and made me think I was an orphan for years. And to cap it all, he was the murderer of my sister. Too many things are attached to this monstrous being that I don’t know how to refer to him.
