The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 21 [ Evelyns POV ] Alexander and I shared the same bewildered look with one another .

Well , that was certainly one way to be greeted by someone you hardly knew … But even so , I had no idea what was meant by it .

My brows curled in confusion .

Uh , Im sorry .

What- Would you care to clarify that question , Fiona ? Alexander spoke firmly and with a lack of amusement .

I suppose it was nice to see that this womans blatant question took us both aback .

Fiona .

So , that was her name .

It suddenly clicked in the back of my mind why this woman seemed so familiar .

Fiona was the Alpha daughter of Luna Carolines pack .

And I suppose , theoretically , she was Carolines niece .

From what I heard about her through the ongoing lines of gossip that circulated through the staff , Fiona often liked to pick fights with other Alpha daughters .

Many had commented in the past that she wasnt very attractive .

Perhaps it was her aggressive personality that made her so .

Its been mentioned that Fiona had a thing for going after Alpha daughters from particularly smaller packs .

It made her feel empowered , showing off her own familys power and influence .

To her , everything could be made into a competition .

From clothing to makeup , to cars and properties .

Fiona was someone who took pleasure in flaunting what she had the same way that Samantha did .

I was almost certain that it was Samantha who was supposed to marry Alexander , Fiona said pointedly .

Oh , I see .

Based on her surprised look to find me with Alexander , she was clearly anticipating seeing Samantha by his side and not me .

Granted , while I still came from a smaller pack , I had a feeling that Flona wasnt likely to target me with her vexing remarks .

Thanks to my Stepmother and Samantha , my reputation of being considered a wild child had spread throughout most of the region .

There was not a single doubt in my mind that Samantha would have been a clear target for Fionas bullying .

Given my self made reputation , I was of no interest to her since I hardly participated in Alpha daughters gatherings .

And on the rare occasion that I did , I was always marginalized .

Its me .

Samantha is about to marry Liam , I clarified .

Fiona let out a loud sigh .

Pfft .

How boring .

The you The younger woman glanced down at herself as though she had come to the conclusion that her outfit had been wasted on the likes of me .

She rolled her eyes and allowed us to pass through the doors without further delay.

1/3 Chapter 21 +30 Banus With a firm push on his wheelchair , I guided Alexander and me forward .

Wendys rooms were just as beautiful and well- decorated as the rest of the house .

With small vases of flowers spread throughout the place , the place possessed a gentle floral scent that was welcoming .

Sitting in a large leather tufted chair was an elderly woman whose beauty still remained well intact .

Standing next to her was the familiar figure and Alexanders Stepmother , Caroline .

Like before , she wore an inscrutable look on her face .

Only when Flona rejoined the group did the woman decide to grace us with a smile .

So , Fiona .

I take it , you know Evelyn then ? Caroline asked .

Fiona glanced down at her hands , bordley checking on her finely manicured nail beds .

Her tone of voice came out as uninterested and apathetic .

Not really , she commented .

Evelyn and I dont exactly hang around in the same social circles .

Yeah , that could be the understatement of the year.

Youre not wrong , I muttered under my breath .

For a brief moment , I could have sworn that I caught Alexander smirking out of the corner of my eye .

Fiona pursed her lips into a knowing grin and giggled with a fake heir of friendliness .

Evelyn , here , is known to be a bit of a wild child .

Shes someone who prefers the company of the staff rather than others of her own station .

My face flushed a deep shade of pink .

I didnt know why I felt so self conscious .

It certainly wasnt the first time something like this had been publicly declared .

Normally , I would have happily owned up to the title ; however , I was hoping to make a rather decent impression on Alexanders Grandmother and not feel like the social outcast I was made to feel like .

You see , its part of the reason why I was so shocked when I opened up the door before .

I hadnt expected Alexander to settle for I held on to the handles of Alexanders wheelchair as though they were my only life to remain where I was .

The urge to turn on my heels and leave was strong .

Alexander looked as though he were about to speak up but was swiftly cut off by the soft , elegant sound of his Grandmother .

Someone who clearly has a leveled head on her shoulders , she said steadily .

I snapped my head up to gaze in utter astonishment at the womans unexpected evaluation .

It was obvious that I wasnt the only one whom she surprised with her sudden remark .

The room , in its entirety , had fallen silent .

Both Caroline and Fiona shared a look of reprimand .

Wendys smile never seemed to have left her .

Only when she turned to glance at Alexander a che scowl , You know , Grandson , it would have been nice to receive an invitation to the wedding , she said tightly .

Her voice grew hoarse and weak .

I would like to , at least , think that you had the place properly decorated +30 Bonus Alexanders features softened with worry .

Suddenly , one of the staff members came bustling in with the newest report of the packs finances .

Alexander was quick to take the file and thanked them .

Caroline merely seized the opportunity to speak her mind .

Wendy , why not give yourself the break you deserve and let someone else handle the financial responsibilities .

Youre absolutely right .

Caroline positively lit up with excitement .

Wonderful , Ill get started right away- Ill have Evelyn help me , Wendy interjected while taking my hand .

My mouth fell open .

Me ?
