The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 129 "| shouldn't have done that. | was so wrapped up in having to deal with Michael, that I neglected everything else around me. Believe me, my concern for your well-being in all of this was at the forefront of my mind when it came to him." "And yet, you were the one that tore me to shreds," | said quietly. "You were able to do it so easily. It was as if all my fears and doubts about us had been confirmed." This time, Alexander looked crushed. Not a single part of me felt bad for saying any of this to him.

As messed up as it sounded, part of me wanted him to feel the pain that | felt. "Itwas easy...Because | had my own list of fears and doubts when it came to our relationship," he said. "I couldn't imagine why someone like you would ever want to willingly shackle yourself to someone as screwed up as me." "What?" "Evelyn, you're beautiful. Not only that, but you're dangerously intelligent and you actually have a desire to help those around you. You possess a heart that's far too big for someone like me and have the patience of an actual saint." ---- | couldn't believe what | was hearing.

Before all this madness, when Wendy and | had been chatting in her rooms. She'd told me that Alexander felt as though | had settled for him. | didn't believe it. Because there was no way someone like him-handsome, accomplished, successful and devoted to his people would have gone for a girl like me. Our marriage was nothing more than a setup. Under any other circumstances, | would hardly think that he would have openly gone out of his way to get to know me, otherwise. Alexander's gaze turned heated.

"Imagine my surprise when | heard that you were under the assumption that | had settled for you," he said. My heart skipped a beat. "It shouldn't be that big of a shock for you." He gave me an incredulous look. "You were with Rena... She's twice as beautiful and far more accomplished than-" Alexander shook his head. "Stop." "Knowing that you and her were once together...How is anyone supposed to compete with that?" | asked "There was never a competition," he claimed. "Yes, Rena is beautiful. But let me tell you what else she is. She's self-entitled.

And for the record, the only real talent she ever had was knowing ---- how to climb the social ladder. But let me tell you, she never had half of the intelligence you have or the care that you give to others." "Tell me the real reason why you went off on me at the market." | knew | was placing him in a very vulnerable situation. | was forcing him to be transparent with me, something he would never do otherwise. "| didn't like seeing you with him.

But, after some serious thinking, | realized that | wouldn't have liked the situation any better if it had been with a completely different person." "Are you saying that you were jealous?" "Jealous and petrified over the possibility of losing you to someone else," he said. "Iam not Rena." | brought my arms close to my chest. "I would never do what she did to you. I cared and wanted to be closer to you for so long, but I honestly have no idea what to do about all of this now." God, | wished for the pain around my heart to go away. | needed rest. Good, real rest.

But at the same time, | didn't want to leave the kitchen for fear that | may not ever see this side of Alexander again. "Like | said before, I'm not asking for your forgiveness. But ---- would it be possible for us to start again?" he asked
