The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 320 Prior to this momentous day, Alexander had spoken with his Stepmother. They hadn't necessarily struck up a deal, but he had made it a point to tell her that should she fail to cooperate during this hearing, he would ensure that her life in prison would be nothing short of hell. "Caroline Kingston," the judge addressed her. "Would you care to tell the room your involvement in all this?" Caroline clenched her jaw. The woman would rather walk across broken glass with her bare feet than have to own up to her own faults.

"Initially, | am the one who helped orchestrate the assassination placed on Alexander," she admitted. The room erupted into a sea of shocked looks and more gasps. "It all started with the King coming to me-" "You lying little traitor!" Gregory spat. "Keep your mouth shut!" "That is enough! Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but if you are not able to restrain yourself, I'm afraid I'll have to insist that you be temporarily removed from the room until Mrs. Kingston finishes giving her testimony." Gregory begrudgingly fell silent.

---- "The King has always been intimidated by Alexander's ability to grow and successfully maintain his pack. It had reached a point where his numbers were high enough to truly rival that of the Royal Family's. The King was concerned that Alexander would find a way to overthrow him." "Please keep in mind that these feelings could only exist on a guilty conscience," Alexander said. "Any pack that | had previously taken under my control was mainly because their previous Alphas were neglecting their responsibilities.

It never had anything to do with status or enhancement of power." "So, Gregory and | crafted the idea of getting rid of Alexander so that my son, Michael would be able to step in," Caroline explained. "| see," the judge commented. "And what of the more recent affairs? Apparently, Alexander's soldiers found you in one of the holding cells after the takeover took place. Why were you there?" Again, Caroline shifted in her place. "When everyone else was trying to escape the palace, the King called for my council.

| didn't want to show up but | knew just as well that he would have sent guards after me otherwise. He'd found out that | had previously spoken to Alexander and deemed me a traitor." ---- Caroline found Evelyn's gaze amongst the crowd. "As a means of trying to secure my freedom, | helped the King find a way to get back at Alexander. He had a friend, a veteran who once served under the Royal Family as a previous soldier, come in to pull off the job.

| told him how he'd be able to infiltrate Alexander's borders and kidnap Evelyn." A majority of the spectators were utterly enthralled by Caroline's explanation. They occasionally glared at their previous King and sneered in distaste at the man's ongoing deceit. "| admit to having called Gregory out on misconduct and ill-use of power," Alexander said firmly. "I'd given him a choice. | suggested that he leave the palace behind and denounce himself as King.

Otherwise, | was prepared to expose him for the crimes he and his family have been committing for countless decades." Alexander then turned to the large masses of people who all gave him their sole focus. "| am willing to acknowledge that what | did was severe and highly traumatizing to some. The takeover had seldom to do with gaining a title and more to do with ensuring that Gregory's reign would finally come to an end," he said. The tension in the room was thick. There was still a great deal of ---- uncertainty felt all around. How could there not be?

Everyone had a right to their skepticism. "May | say something?"
