The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 211 [Evelyn's POV] "Ohl! Evelyn, which shade of white were you thinking for the wedding dress?" Claire asked with jovial excitement. My eyes widened. "Wedding dress?" | questioned. "You're not designing a whole new dress, are you? You know the first one was stunning. | couldn't imagine wearing anything different from that." Claire looked at me as though | had grown a second head and lightly chuckled. "Of course, | have to design a whole new dress!" she exclaimed.

" This wedding is going to be the absolute talk of the region." Just the thought of that, made my heart sink into my stomach. | forced a smile and gently spoke. "Just please don't go overboard," | told her earnestly. "If you really need to create a new dress, please pass the whole idea to Alexander first, okay? I'm more than happy to wear the original one you had designed." Claire nodded her head and made off with a noticeable bounce in her step while | was left feeling deflated.

For the last couple of days, life at the manor had become consumed with talk and ---- preparation for the wedding Don't get me wrong. | was genuinely excited about the whole endeavor just as much as Alexander seemed to be. What | wasn't entirely prepared for, was having to deal with all the major, ongoing decisions. It was one thing to discuss what types of flowers were going to be displayed in all the major bouquets. However, it was a completely different thing to have to sit through an entire debate on whether or not the cloth napkins had to be either creme colored or beige.

It was both excessive and mind-bendingly painful at times. But every time | started to feel this way, | became wrapped in guilt. It wasn't as though | didn't care about any of it, these sorts of things just fell a bit beyond my level of interest. Lately, all | really wanted to do was slip away to the library and start reading up on some basic political information to feel better prepared for the fights ahead. Regardless of our issues. within our own families, one of the major problems was having to eventually deal with the Alpha King. | needed to know how the political game worked.

| needed to know what sort of systems were currently in place and how they operated day-to-day. All | wanted to do was lose myself amongst all the books. As ---- silly as it may sound, | missed my little corner in the library where | used to spend hours losing myself one book after another. Recently, | just felt as though someone was always trying to get my attention no matter how small or insignificant the matter was. | quickly glanced around and swiftly made my way toward the library, only to be stopped by Nina. "Evelyn! I'm glad | caught you," she called out.

"There's something we need to talk about for the wedding." | inwardly cursed to myself and plastered on a smile. Ah, yes. The wedding. The wedding that happens to be in two, possibly three months. "What is it?" | dared to ask. "Wendy and | have been wracking our minds all morning about what color the tablecloths should be in that they won't clash with anything else on the table," she stated | felt myself beginning to twitch Table clothes... hey were seriously debating about the color of the tableclothes? ---- | let out a long breath and offered a small smile.

"Nina, | appreciate you and Wendy putting so much thought into this event. Just know that this decision doesn't need to be made immediately. Alexander had literally put the official statement about it no more than two days ago." "Oh, we know," she gushed. "It's just so exciting!" "As | told Claire a moment ago, please do not go overboard," | said softly.
