The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 20 What were you doing ? he grumbled .

S Sorry , I muttered .

Its just … Your mask .

I noticed it was sliding off your face .

Without a word , he reached up to readjust the masks position on his face .

I was desperate to ward off the awkward silence that filled the space .

I , uh … Sorry if you didnt sleep well .

Alexander spoke without turning his glance at me .

What makes you say that ? I bit the corner of my lip and shrugged .

You just seem like you could use at least a couple more hours of rest .

Not to mention that I was practically on top of you for most of the night .

He let out an indignant snort .

Well , youre not wrong there .

But thats hardly the reason why Im not feeling my best at the moment .

My eyes widened .

Right as I was about to speak , there was a soft knocking at the door .

Nina stepped into the room , wearing her usual gentle smile .

Good morning , Ive come to let you know that breakfast has been prepared and will be served in the dining room .

Alexander nodded .

Thank you , Nina .

By the way , starting today , I want the two beds in here to be kept separate .

Nina lost her smile and turned to glance at me with a look of surprise .

I tried to ignore the jab of pain that entered my chest at his request .

I wasnt sure what to think about the whole matter but I just couldnt stand the embarrassment any longer .

I slid out of bed and made off toward the bathroom to get ready .

Im going to wash up first , I said coldly .

Ill be done in a little while .

Breakfast was mainly kept in silence after the whole uncomfortable encounter in the bedroom .

I wasnt entirely sure if I was grateful for the lack of speaking or not .

Part of me was still unnerved by Alexanders request to have the beds separated .

Was I really that bad to be around ? I wanted to ask him about it , but my mind was soon occupied with other pressing issues .

Grandma Wendy .

I was exceedingly anxious to meet the one woman that Alexander showed unquestionable respect and attention to .

Ninas words from the day before began to echo in my head .

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

1/2 +30 Bonus I still had no comprehensible idea as to how I was going to manage to do that .

When the staff came in to take away the last of the plates , I knew it was time to leave .

My anxiety stirred to life as Nina came to meet us in the doorway .

Oh , Evelyn .

Do you want to go and change your clothes real quick ? she asked .

I quickly glanced down at myself , thinking I had somehow made a mess or gotten something on them before .

But they were clean .

I dont think so , I said with a tone of uncertainty .

Well , its just that youll be meeting Alexanders Grandmother for the first time and I figured youd want to wear something formal , is all , she explained .

I recalled hearing that Grandma Wendy really enjoyed gardening so Id purposely chosen a more modest set of clothes to meet her in .

I see .

I think Ill stick with what Im wearing .

Alexander and I headed toward the far wing of the house where Wendy currently stayed .

Without causing too much of a fuss , I got behind Alexander and proceeded to push him myself .

I was glad to see that everyone we passed in the pack showed Alexander great respect , regardless of the fact that he was in a wheelchair .

Right as we arrived at Wendys rooms , we were immediately greeted by a young looking woman .

Though she wore a white lab coat , she had a luxurious dress underneath and intricately applied makeup on her face .

Strange .

I felt I had seen this person before , but couldnt quite place her .

Before I could figure it out , the woman spoke first .

How come its you ?
