The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 66

Edwina’s POV…

Sonia walked into the courtroom. She looked pale and heavy. Well, her being heavy was understandable, but I thought she would have a little bit of glow since she was finally getting what she wanted. A chance at a fair trial, but I understood that she would be not just lonely but anxious, she had been so used to taking control of her life and right now it feels strange to her not being able to control it.

I could see her struggling to take the steps she needed to move further.

The hall wasn’t crowded. It was filled with people from different clans in the night howlers pack. As she walked past them, they muttered unkind words to her, and I could see her trying to shut them out so she wouldn’t get affected by them. It would have been easier for me to shut out words from them because I have been used to mockery all my life, but it would be harder for her because she has been used to people singing her praise and bowing down to her feet.

I wonder the kind of struggles she would be going through right now, with no one to stand by her side. I knew her too well to know that she was being overwhelmed with despair.

She reached the podium where she would be seated all through this trial.
