The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 13 [ Evelyns POV ) If I was thankful for anything that had gone on in the last couple of hours , it was how quickly Nina and I had become friends .

I felt beyond lucky to have someone who was willing to speak to me on normal terms and even go as far as to inform me of relevant , important matters .

Nina had noticed me flying out of Alexanders bathroom before and was kind enough to not ask any questions .

Although , I did manage to catch the pleased look on her face .

What exactly am I walking into ? I asked , nervously .

On the way to the living room , Nina went on to explain some of the complexities of Alexanders family dynamics .

Some of which I would never have guessed .

Only , Alexanders parents are here to visit , she started .

His father , Henry , and his Stepmother , Caroline neither of whom are of much importance to this pack .

I figured that as long as I could get through this meeting , I would be fine … I hoped .

I slightly turned my head to glance at Nina in question .

Hold on , if neither of Alexanders parents has any part in his pack , then who controls the household finances ? That would be Wendy , his Grandmother , Nina answered .

Wendy doesnt trust Caroline with anything personal relating to the Moonstone Pack due to some past mistakes .

If you want to gain some of Alexanders approval and make it within the pack , then find a way to gain Wendys favor .

I merely nodded my head , not having a single thought as to how I was supposed to win the favor of a woman I had never met .

The thought of today getting any more nerve wracking was enough to make me sick .

Is there anyone I should know about ? Yes , Alexander also has a Stepbrother named Michael .

Hes Carolines son and is currently away , studying at school so theres no need for you to worry about him .

I was truly touched by Ninas thoughtfulness to fill me in on the important notions of Alexanders family .

The man was so easy to brush me off before , there was the likely chance that I would have never known any of these things without her help .

Nina had .

been the first real person to make me feel welcomed and at home here .

She reminded me greatly of the many people I had left back home ; all of those I trusted .

It both warmed my heart and left me feeling lonely .

Stepping into the living room , I put on my most confident smile and went up to Alexanders parents .

Hello , Im Evelyn , Alexanders new Luna .

Its nice to meet you .

וד 1/2 +30 Bonus Yourre the one Alexander married ? Caroline asked with a tone of contemplation .

Yes , I confirmed slowly .

Is … Is there a problem ? Both Henry and Caroline gave me an apprehensive look , as though they were studying me .

Were simply surprised that you managed to commit to the marriage , Henry commented dryly .

My brows drew together .

Did Alexander really think I was going to be scared off like the other brides ? Or had he intentionally tried to scare me away ? Im sure youre well aware of the others that had been matched before you , Caroline said .

Alexander can be a bit difficult to handle at times .

I bit the inside of my cheek and tried to push the biting anger back .

Im sure he and I will be just fine , I said tightly .

My chest filled with indignation as I inwardly cursed Alexander for putting me in such an uncomfortable situation .

My God .

It seemed like no matter what , the man was deliberately trying to complicate my life .

Lost in thought about Alexander , I glanced upstairs and saw a shadow at the corner of the hall .

I leaned back on my heels to find the corner footrest of a wheelchair just barely visible .

Was Alexander just sitting up there , overhearing this entire encounter ?
