The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 33 [ Evelyns POV ] +30 Bonus The personal fitting with Claire had gone off without any further issues .

Once Alexander had left , much of the tension had with him .

gone Claire offered me a kind , reassuring smile .

Dont worry , she said .

Im going to make sure that youre the best looking Luna at that gathering .

I tried to return her smile but my worry toward the gathering was just too great to ignore .

Honestly , when all of it was said and done , the dress didnt matter .

Nor the shoes .

Nor the jewelry .

Anyone could look like they belonged at a Luna gathering .

It all depended on the clothes one would wear .

Dressing the part was one thing … However , acting the part of the sophisticated and dependable Luna was a complete other .

This wasnt just any other gathering .

The royal family was the one hosting , which meant the pressure was twice as heavy on my shoulder .

Normally , Claire and I would fall into numerous deep conversations while she would be fitting me for my clothing .

Not this time .

There were far too many thoughts that were occupying my mind and I knew I needed to do something about them .

What if I ended up saying the wrong thing ? What if I accidentally acted out of turn ? Oh , God .

What if I made a fool of myself in front of the literal Alpha King ?? The mere thought of the possibility made me shudder internally .

There had to be something I could do to settle my nerves and ease my worries ….

There has to be a way for me to learn basic social etiquette skills before the gathering , There was no point in lying to myself , when it came to social cues , I knew very little .

The whole prim and proper image that most I knew very little women were meant to stick to , for someone in my particular status , never suited me .

I was never the stand still and quiet type .

Yes , I knew when to be respectful and to whom ; however , I wasnt the kind of person to sit back and do nothing .

I wanted to make a positive change in whichever pack I was with .

I wanted to discover new ways to help people and make them feel secure .

Wanting t to be hands on in my pack was a considerable strong suit .

Unfortunately , it was also my biggest downfall .

There had to be a way for me to learn how to tamper down my attitude … Alright that should do it , Claire announced with a satisfied look .

I hardly glanced at myself in the mirror .

The dress was far from being completed .

But from the current looks of it , it was set to be one of the finest pieces I had ever worn .

Thank you , Claire .

1/2 +30 BonusS Do you want to take a look at any of the jewels that Alexander has pre selected for you ? she asked .

Not really .

What I really needed to do was start up on some personal research .

I forced another smile .

I dont think so , I told her .

I trust you and Alexander have chosen the right pieces to go with the dress .

I stepped off the platform and readjusted my clothes .

By the look on the designers face , I could tell that Claire was a bit put off by my refusal .

After waving her goodbye , I left the drawing room with the intention of heading to a place where I knew I was going to find what I needed to help me .

The library .

Good God , what the hell was I thinking ? I muttered under my breath .

Kingston Hall must have been home to at least three dozen books on basic proper etiquette for young men and women .

The problem was finding the right one that really applied to me .

I spent the last several hours pouring over various texts in hopes of finding at least something code I could follow when in social settings .

All I wanted to do was ensure that I wouldnt make a fool of myself or Alexander .

But my attempts were feeling fruitless .
