The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 14 [ Evelyns POV ] 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 the 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 .

1/2 +30 Bonus 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 been hard to find such an excellent Alpha daughter to be Luna , considering the previous ones had all been scared off , she said .

Henry let out a sigh and rubbed a hand roughly over his face .

The other Lunas came from equally smaller packs .

And I have no doubt that this one comes from an ever smaller , useless pack as well , he scoffed .

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 .
