The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 38 She beamed under the praise and turned to reach into one of the smaller trunks. "Just one last thing and then you'll be perfect." My bottom lip trembled in shock as | beheld the large emerald stone attached to a silver chain. She circled around me to properly adjust the necklace around my neck. After that, came a matching set of earrings as well as a ring. "Were these the jewels that Alexander had settled on?" | asked, feeling numb. "Yes," she confirmed. "He thought they would go well with the dress. Plus, they bring out the green in your eyes." My eyes widened.

Did Alexander actually notice something that specific about me? Nina was practically bouncing with excitement. "Evelyn, you're going to be the most beautiful Luna there! | just know it." A Luna's purpose is a lot more than just looking pretty for others. Still, | carried on just wanting to get the day over with. When we were finished, | made my way out of the room and headed down, the grand staircase.

My heart hammered frantically with every step but managed to calm down the moment | saw Alexander waiting for me at the bottom landing ---- [Third-Person's POV] Of all things he could be doing today, Alexander was dressed in a sharp-looking suit patiently waiting for his wife to finish getting ready for an event that neither of them wanted to go to. Ah, so this is what married life is supposed to feel like... Alexander glanced down at his watch and grimaced. He tried to mentally calculate the amount of time that would be considered reasonable to stay before making an undeclared exit.

He could easily think of several other meaningful things that needed to be worked on as opposed to being roped into another pointless gathering. More importantly, he didn't need to be made to feel like a public spectacle anymore than he already has in the past. Regardless of his status, not many people were willing to look past the mask and wheelchair that he chose to bind himself to.

It's all done with a purpose...The only real person who needs to believe my story is the Alpha King Over the last few days, Alexander had seen very little of Evelyn Even though he'd known where she was most of the time, he wasn't entirely sure how it all made him feel. It wasn't as though she had ever opened up to him about what ---- she was doing in the library. That, alone, irked him. Out of the comer of his eye, he spotted Evelyn looming at the top of the staircase. For a moment, he didn't even realize it was her.

He had become so used to seeing her in just casual clothes and barely any makeup. Now, the woman-his own Luna-was made to look like a gorgeous woodland fae queen. All that was missing was the tiara on top of her head to match the jewels he and Claire had pre-selected. Evelyn graciously descended down the stairs, never pulling her eyes away from him. Alexander felt his heart hammer within his chest. God. It had been years since someone had left him this speechless and star-struck. Perhaps, today wasn't going to be a total waste after all "Hello," Evelyn greeted with a light smile.

"You look very handsome." He opened his mouth but something was off. Alexander couldn't find the ability to speak. He wanted to tell her just how beautiful she was. Hell, seeing her like that nearly made him want to throw his whole act away and haul them back to the bedroom. The thought of anyone else getting a chance to see her like that ---- was utterly grueling Right as he was about to speak, Oliver came rushing to his side. "Sir, we have a problem."
