The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 117 But only Alexander was the Alpha of the family. | merely figured that because like every firstborn son of an Alpha would likely inherit the title, given it was their birthright. "L can see the wheels turning in your head, dear," Wendy chuckled. "Yes, Alexander, having been the legitimate Kingston Heir, was always set to inherit the title as Alpha of the family. However, before Caroline and Michael joined the Kingston line, Michael was set to become the Alpha of their family bloodline." Oh. Well, | could see how that would cause tension between the two of them.

| took my lip between my teeth and lightly bit down as | slipped into a deeper thought. "If they both had the ability to be great Alphas then why hasn't Michael tried to branch out and establish his own pack?" Wendy gave a sympathizing look. "Lack of resources, I'm afraid. When Alexander took the title of Alpha, he gained nearly all control of the family assets. It made the possibility for Michael to branch out to be extremely difficult, if not impossible." "Would Alexander not give anything over to Michael to at least help him get started?" "He has," Wendy claimed. "Many times, in fact.

Alexander truly ---- felt for Michael's discouragement when he realized that he would never likely be Alpha if it remained under the Kingston line. He understood the frustration and wanted to help." "But what happened?" "Every attempt that was made to help better Michael's future, he ended up squandering it on some failed project. He never was able to get the kind of support that Alexander had crafted on his own. Alexander had merely reached a point where he had to put his foot down and stop giving Michael handouts.

So, Caroline suggested that Michael return back to school, so he could place his time and energy into one spoiled focus." "So, that's why there's so much resentment between them," | said mindlessly. "They've always been in competition with one another. As time went on, feelings between them have just gotten worse and more sensitive," she said. "Also...Word has been traveling around that Michael may have taken an interest in you." | practically choked on my tea. "What? No! God, no.

Why would people be saying that?" "Michael is known for being very particular with the kind of people he chooses to be around. Some of the staff say that they noticed the way he was looking at you. He seemed rather charmed." ---- | blew out a long breath and shook my head. "Would this happen to be part of the reason why Alexander has forbidden me from ever seeing Michael again?" | asked stiffly. Wendy raised a questionable brow and let out her own tempered breath. "Oh, boy.

Let me guess, he approached and declared that you were to now follow some ridiculous, out-of-pocket order?" "Pretty much," | said, dryly. "I basically told him no. Trust me, | have no feelings toward Michael. But | had asked Alexander to tell me why | needed to stay away from his Stepbrother and he refused to tell me anything. | got really angry and frustrated with him and | basically turned my back on him." | took in a tremulous breath. "| keep thinking back to that conversation and replaying it over and over in my head. But there's no alternative that could have taken place.

| was already annoyed at the way Alexander had been shutting me out before Michael came into the picture. I'm his wife. Why can't he tell me about the things that trouble him?" "Well..."
