The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 10 Put To The Test [ Evelyns POV ] Finished Wait a minute … If by some chance Alexander was listening in on what was going on downstairs in the living room , then that surely meant that I was being placed in another goddamn test .

The mere thought had me seething .

What was the point ? Was this him trying to make me back out of e marriage ? The other potential Lunas had never even made it down the aisle much less had to be put through these mindless trials .

It made me seriously think … Was Alexander still trying to scare me off ? Unfortunately , I wasnt able to find a single reason to think otherwise .

Alexander had purposely sent me down to deal with his parents alone .

The question was , why ? Was he trying to find out how I would act around them ? I couldnt imagine what he was expecting to hear .

It wasnt as though I knew either of these people .

Oh , yeah .

Something was definitely going on .

I swiftly recalled what Nina had mentioned just moments before I entered the living room , regarding Alexanders Grandmothers outlook toward Caroline .

Perhaps , this was a test to once again prove my character .

It was to see how I would align myself with Alexanders family .

I was tempted to let out a sigh and forgo this entire ridiculous ordeal .

All these trials it was getting exhausting ! If Alexander was so suspicious of me , then why couldnt he just keep asking me questions instead of doing all this ? .But , as usual , it appeared that I had little to no choice .

Granted I was exceedingly tempted to march up those main stairs and personally haul Alexander down myself , but I knew that I was meant to face this trial alone .

I turned back to face Henry and Caroline who seemed no more interested in my presence than when I first stepped into the room .

However , something must have changed in Alexanders fathers mind .

He glanced in my direction and actually gave me a once over .

His gaze filled with skeptical doubt as he spoke .

Just fine ? Youre telling me that my son , whos been dodging Lunas left and right , decided to settle on you ? he scoffed .

You dont seem like youd be Luna material .

E Excuse me ? I hated myself for stuttering , but I just couldnt block the surprise from my voice .

What the hell ? My eyes widened in sheer shock at the mans blunt , unfiltered remarks .

He wasnt even trying to hide his displeasure .

Henry Kingston was a clear mimic of my own father someone whose unpleasantness came as second nature whenever they opened their mouth .

I dont see how you could be worthy of such a pack , even if Alexander is paralyzed , he spat .

My guess is that youre just after his money , I bit the inside of my cheek , again as a means of keeping my comments to myself .

It was one thing to snap at my own family , but I certainly couldnt get away with doing the same to Alexanders .

Caroline suddenly decided to take a small step forward and offer her two cents into the conversation .

My head was swelling from all the aggravated pressure by the second .

The sickly sweet tone of her voice was an obvious indicator that she was merely pretending to be nice .

Well , even if you did marry Alexander for his money it would still be alright .

Since Alexander is now physically impaired , its · Chapter 10 Put To The Test no doubt that this one comes from an ever smaller , useless pack as well , he scoffed .

Finished My anger was beginning to get the better of me .

This time , I wasnt able to hold back the retort that came flying out directly at Henry .

All because I come from a small pack doesnt make me useless , I hissed .

I then turned to Caroline with an equal look of dismay .

What makes you think that I married Alexander to climb the social ladder ? Is this really your opinion ? Neither one of them dared to interrupt me as I went on .

True strength comes from within , and Alexanders pack is already the strongest .

Youre Alexanders father , why are you looking for a helper or a support system for a pack that clearly doesnt need it ? Is insulting me your way of saying that you feel insecure about your own abilities ? Henrys face twisted in anger like he was getting ready to punish me .

He raised his hand high in the air like he was getting ready to strike me .

Why you insolent little bi Whats going on here ? A strong booming , authoritative voice called out .

Henry hesitated to say anything and slowly lowered his hand as though he was still a little wary of Alexanders authority .

As soon as Alexander made his presence known , his father was quick to question him .

Is there a reason why the wedding hadnt been announced to the family ? The younger Alpha shrugged with his mask firmly in place .

The pack has been busy lately and Grandma is currently not feeling well .

So , there was no need for a formal ceremony .

It was clear that he wasnt concerned about the two people present , even if they were his parents .

Henry stepped forward and spoke through clenched teeth .

I suggest you get better quickly , otherwise youre going to have to relinquish some of your power to Michael and myself , he said .

Once everyone knows youll be in a wheelchair forever , the soldiers will leave .

Alexander , however , wasnt bothered .

My army has been recruited and trained by me .

Even in a wheelchair , I would still be more effective than you .

Even if he never stood up again , you and Michael would struggle to control them .

Based on Henrys baffled look , something told me that he had already tried to do so in the past , but failed .

Alexanders father was clearly humiliated and prepared to leave with Caroline in tow .

This entire ordeal confirmed my suspicions that Alexander and his family were truly on opposing sides .

Before he made it out , Henry stopped and turned to face the two of us .

Tomorrow , I suggest that you go see your grandmother .

Even if shes not feeling her best , she deserves to know whats been happening .

He then turned to look at me .

After hearing that youve truly married , shell want to meet you .

Alexander and I both nodded our heads and Henry left .

Once the two of them were gone , it seemed like a lot of the air returned back to the room .

My head was throbbing so much that the second I was to fall into bed , I was likely to pass out .

Always a pleasure when those two show their faces , Alexander stated coldly .

1 rolled my eyes up toward the ceiling and subtly shook my head .

Alexander maneuvered his wheelchair around to leave the room .

You should head upstairs to rest now , he told me .

Youll be expected to meet my Grandmother tomorrow , most likely in the morning .

Chapter 10 Put To The Test Tell me … Does my presence interfere with any Alexander quickly turned his head to look at me .
