The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 323 This place was home. My home. The one | had grown to love slowly but surely. Of course, Oliver and Alexander had offered to have my plants moved to the palace conservatory so that | wouldn't have to be away from my work. It was a tempting offer, one that | would eventually crack down on. But for now, | was happy to keep everything as it was. Edward was waiting patiently by the back stained-glass doors. He looked handsome as ever in his dark grey tux and above all else-healthy. When he turned to see me, his features softened. "Wow, Eve. You look beautiful," he said.

"Are you ready?" "Yes," | said wistfully. He offered me the crook of his arm which | graciously took a hold of. Suddenly, the music began and the two of us began our journey down the flower petal-made aisle. Our father-Leonard was in attendance, but | specifically requested for Edwrd to be the one to walk me to the altar. Our relationship with our father was still in its recovery period. Today was about Alexander and me. | wasn't about to create any issues or awkwardness. ---- | slowly lifted my gaze up from the ground. There.

There | saw the beautifully decorated gardens and small platform stage. There | saw Wendy and Oliver-even Erik and Thomas were standing close by. But what truly stopped my heart for a few seconds was the sheer sight of Alexander. He looked completely ethereal dressed in his tux. His hair was partly slicked back and his eyes were gleaming with unspoken happiness. And dare | say tears? When we reached the end, my brother kissed my cheeks and handed me to Alexander. "Hello, wife," he whispered. My cheeks flushed under his appraising look.

"Hello, husband." The officiant began the ceremony and my eyes never strayed from Alexander's. When it came time to exchange our vows, | fought back the urge to let all of my tears fall from my eyes. "Evelyn, my sweet, perfect Luna, you first stumbled into my life with a defiance and determination that captured my attention almost instantly. Your loyalty to your true family never faltered. And your ability to love someone as difficult and stubborn as me goes beyond anything | could ever dream to imagine," he went on. "| was convinced that | never needed a Luna in my life.

| believed myself too capable and independent. But you turned ---- out to be so much more than that. Through all the trials and tribulations-all the enemies, | came to discover that you were really the one saving me from my own foolishness." | stifled a cry and bit down on my composure. My throat grew tight. "You took the broken pieces in my life and found a way to seal them back together again. For that, | will never be able to thank you enough for it.

There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thankful for the fact that you hadn't run away from the altar all those months back." My heart swelled in my chest. "Alexander," | whispered. "You've given me so much more than a ring. You gave me things | never really knew | was missing. A family. A real home. A love that | fully prepared to give up on but you somehow made possible. You've saved me from countless dangers, even from the darkest parts myself. For that, | will always love you." The emotions hung heavily in the air. The officiant gave a final nod.

"I now pronounce you man and wife," he said. "You may kiss the bride." Alexander snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me in close. | pushed myself onto my toes to capture his lips. ---- | was home. | was loved. | was complete. Who knew | would have found myself feeling such a way in the arms of War God? The End.
