The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 76

Edwina’s POV…

I woke up to find the other side of the bed long cold. It was apparent my dear husband had left the house a long time ago. Checking the time, I noticed I had slept in for a long time. The marathon s*x we had the night before had been so soothing to my pain that all I could do was fall into a long sleep. Getting up from the bed, I stretched my full length. The merits of s*x must be underestimated, I felt brand new, and some of my worries had dissipated.

Heading into the bathroom, I pulled off my robe, staring at my naked self in the mirror. I felt my nipple as I rubbed my hands carefully on my breast. The thoughts of Sonia being molested by our father came rushing back to me, and I felt guilty.

Would things have been different if I had a wolf? Would he have abused me instead of Sonia? How was he even still alive and hadn’t committed murder? Then the thought of Sonia’s anger regarding my marriage to Xander confused me. Did I do anything wrong? What exactly was my fault? I only wanted to save my only sister. I tried to convince myself that Sonia was being a selfish person, but I couldn’t help the guilt that rode my heart.

I felt horrible with the mere thought of it. Shutting my eyes tightly, I tried to ignore the taunts from the voice telling me it was all my fault that Sonia ended up the way she did. I was going to let out a tormenting scream the next minute when a light knock at the door came to my hearing. It was Becca, for sure.

“Come in,” I called out as I walked away from the bathroom, taking a seat on the bed.
