Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78

Khalid’s Point of View

I walked angrily, as my personal guard led the way to where my son was. The guard took me directly down the corridor to the exact room where my son, Fred, was said to be having an affair with an unknown woman.

Every step felt like walking toward an execution block. My mind was racing, trying to figure out how a simple royal criminal raid had turned into a public humiliation of my family’s entire reputation.

Coincidentally, I saw Bella’s father, Alpha Jaden, also rushing over from the opposite end of the corridor with his own elite pack guard trailing closely behind him. Of all the people in the kingdom to witness this nightmare, it had to be the leader of the Pearlside Pack.. the powerful Alpha whose favor we desperately needed, and the father of the girl my son was supposed to marry in just few months.

I slowed my pace, as I tried to force a calm, diplomatic look onto my face. I awkwardly greeted him, my voice cracking slightly under the immense pressure. "Alpha Jaden... greetings to you."

But Bella’s father didn’t play along with my forced politeness. He didn’t even slow down. He just nodded lightly, his expression completely frozen, and rushed straight past me toward the room. The dismissal got to me, making it clear that he already knew exactly what was waiting behind those doors.

I swallowed my pride and followed him closely, my guard pushing past the onlookers. We walked together to the innermost bedroom at the very end of the hall. I reached out and pushed open the door with a slam. The sight inside made the blood in my veins turn completely cold.

I saw my son, Fred, sitting miserably on the  ground, wearing nothing but his trousers, his hair messy and his face filled with fear. Next to him on the rumpled bed was a young omega, her eyes wide with fear also as she tightly wrapped a blanket around her bare chest to cover herself.

The two of them were not alone, they were being closely watched by four armed officers from the palace’s criminal department, their  swords drawn and their faces completely stern. The humiliation was too much.

When the criminal department manager saw me and Bella’s father coming through the doorway, he lowered his weapon and nodded in respect.

"Greetings, Lord Khalid, and Alpha Jaden," the manager said, his voice carrying that annoying authority, but anyways I listen.

"Today, when my men and I were executing a warrant to catch a dangerous fugitive hiding near the border, we raided this room in the process. Unexpectedly, we caught Master Fred having an affair with this young omega woman in the middle of the day. As you both know, the Alpha King had previously and strictly ordered that such immoral things be prohibited among noble lineages to preserve pack honor.

“Because of his decree, we had to detain them and send someone to watch them until the family heads arrived."

I was both incredibly angry and deeply upset in my heart. The betrayal of it all felt like a weight crushing my me. Fred knew how much this marriage alliance meant to our house. He knew the consequences for this. Yet, he had thrown it all away for a  lowly omega.

The anger entirely took over my mind. I walked straight up to where he was sitting on the floor, hauled him up by his collar, and slapped Fred hard across the face.
