The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 32 [ Evelyns POV ] Oh my God ….

How the hell am I going to do this ? I whispered to myself .

As the date of the Luna Gathering dawned closer , my anxiety decided to return with worrisome vengeance .

I tried to keep reminding myself that I wasnt , necessarily , going to be alone this time .

Alexander for one reason or another agreed to accompany me to the event .

Truthfully , I shouldnt have been nervous at all .

It wasnt as though Id never gone to one of these events before .

Unfortunately , Id been dragged to many gatherings such as this one in the past .

Each one felt like a mere mimic of the one before it .

One of the main reasons why I was dubbed as the wild child was mainly because of my lack of interest in general social topics .

I had very little care in high fashion and the newest makeup and hair trends .

It made it difficult to relate to people and for them to want to connect with me .

This whole situation was nothing new to me… Yet , for some reason , things were different this time around .

Perhaps , it was because I wasnt attending as just another Alphas daughter .

I was a Luna now .

That title placed me into a whole other category that I wasnt entirely used to yet .

My attendance was completely mandatory .

Sure , I shared in the responsibilities with Grandma Wendy when I could , but when it came to my duties as a wife , my relationship with Alexander was all but nonexistent .

Just one more factor to make me unrelatable to those around me .

I was sort of hoping that since Alexander had introduced me to the soldiers it would have done something to help aid our relationship .

But no .

There was hardly any passing communication between us .

And , as far as any intact went … Lets just say that the beds in the master bedroom were still kept apart .

I kept recalling Ninas words about how I managed to leave a strong impression on Alexander , but had I ? It certainly didnt feel like I had He was still keeping me at a distance without so much as a word .

It was almost impossible to not take something like that personally .

Especially , because I genuinely believed that he and I had reached some kind of mutual connection when we spoke out about our mothers .

Knock Knock Knock .

The sudden knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts .

I turned to glance over my shoulder to find Nina peeking into the room .

What is it , Nina ? 1/3 +30 Bonus Alexander is looking to meet with you down in the drawing room , she said with a glimmer in her eye .

My stomach flipped .

Did he give a reason as to why ? Nina merely smiled and gestured for me to follow her out .

Amidst the dozen possibilities as to why Alexander would wish to meet me , nothing prepared me for when I reached the drawing room and glanced Inside .

What the actual hell was going on ? From wall to wall , the room was practically covered in different materials and dozens of boxes filled with new shows and a chest filled with jewelry .

Oh , boy .

Something in the back of my mind was telling me that this was all because of the upcoming gathering .

Out of the corner of my eye , I spotted Alexander chatting with Claire across the room .

As usual , he wore a serious expression on his face that dared not to be challenged .

I couldnt tell what the conversation revolved around but I had a deep feeling that it may have been about me .

1intentionally cleared my throat as a means to announce my presence .

Um , what is all this- This isnt just another gathering … Its being held by the royal family , specifically the princess .

Which means , everything needs to be perfect , he stated firmly .

You will need to look perfect .

Claire gave me a kind smile and stepped forward .

Nice to see you again , Evelyn .

I felt my cheeks flush slightly with embarrassment over the fact that I wasnt currently wearing one of the outfits her team had specially designed for me .

I hadnt meant for it to come off as any sort of insult to her or her abilities as a designer .

It was just that I always felt safer and more comfortable in my own clothes .

Nice to see you too , Claire .

I glanced back at Alexander with a questionable look .

I already had a decent enough idea as to what was going on but I wanted to hear it from him directly .

Claire is here to create a whole new set of dresses for you for these kinds of events , Alexander explained .

My chest tightened .

I knew I should have already anticipated this … God , at the rate I was going , I was going to need a whole new closet for more clothes that I was never planning on wearing .

Having lived around staff and servants for most of my life , I never considered it to be a necessity .

I blew out a long breath .

Is it necessary ? I dared to ask .

Yes .

Claire and her team have already made a ton of new clothes for me to wear , surely there is something that I can wear from that This is not up for debate , he stated firmly back .

2/3 +30 Bonus I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from letting out a series of rude remarks .

Regardless of how intimidating he was , I felt as though I was due more of an explanation and reason behind this excessive display of high social status .

Alexander gave me an even look and let out a long breath .

As the strongest warrior among the Alphas in this region , this is my first time having a Luna .

And I am going to ensure that her public image will be the best among all the Lunas there.

I wasnt going to lie … I had a hard time believing the mans sincerity .

After all , this was coming from the same man who would barely speak to me on a daily basis yet he wanted to make sure that I was visibly going to play the part of the Moonstone Packs Luna As usual , I didnt have a choice in the matter .

I guess it was stupid of me to assume that Alexander would have appealed to my personal preferences , even in a situation li this ..

Fine , I muttered coldly .

Alexander appeared somewhat taken aback by my response .

Maybe he was expecting me to put up more of an argument ? I didnt know .

All that I was certain of was that I was going to be placed into another dress and appear as someone that I truly wasnt .

Yes , I was the Luna of the Moonstone Pack .

But beneath that was my actual identity as Evelyn Silverwood .

A woman that not many , if anyone , cared to know or acknowledge .

The tension in the room grew thick and I could sense that Alexander was looking to leave .

Well , in that case , Claire , you have my preferences in mind .

Im sure you dont need me to stick around here , he said .

I bit back a sneer and rolled my eyes .

And just like that , he was gone .

Alexander may have been a master strategist who did everything with a particular goal in mind , but this whole situation felt like it possessed a hidden double purpose .

Hes never put his two cents into my physical appearance before , why now ? Why this particular event ? One way or another , 1 was determined to find out why .
