The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 47 [Evelyn's POV] My heart was slamming frantically in my chest. As the room grew louder in muffled whispers and obvious stares in my direction, all the blood in my body began rushing to my ears. Everything Fiona was throwing at me felt like taking one hurtful punch after another. I'd never been the main target of her bullying before and | honestly wasn't prepared for it. I'd tried to stand my ground as best as | could, but there was just nothing coherent that was willing to come out of my mouth at that moment. Fiona stood back smug as ever as though she was just warming up.

Of course, Isabella, Samantha and Caroline looked all too pleased to let Fiona run her mouth off on me. It saved them the trouble of having to think of comments and insults to throw at me. My stomach rolled with nausea as | watched Fiona's devious smile deepen with menacing intent. She took another step closer to me. "You showing up here with Wendy means absolutely nothing," she said bitterly. "What makes you think she's happy to know that her only grandson is matched with goddamn nobody?

| bet ---- she thinks the same way as the rest of us-" "That is quite enough" A strong female voice called out. The room fell completely silent as multiple heads turned to see Wendy glaring dangerously at Fiona and the rest of the group behind me. With strong, unbreakable steps, she marched toward us. The very room echoed with the heavy sound of her heels hitting the marbled floors with every step. The expression on her face was purposely kept muted to conceal the raging emotions she was, undoubtedly, feeling.

As if 'the air couldn't get any harder to breathe, the lethal energy this woman was giving off was surely enough to make it impossible. Right as Wendy brushed past me, she came to stand directly in front of Fiona. She swung her hand back and snapped it clear across Fiona's cheek. SLAP! The very sound bounced off the walls, resounding in several astonished gasps. Fiona's eyes widened in shock as she lifted a hand to press against her burning red cheek. Before anyone was able to process what was going on, Wendy began her rant.

"If you take anything away from what I'm about to tell you, let it be this," she stated. "You do not speak for me. Understand?" Fiona was wise to simply nod her head while staving off the ---- tears that threatened to fill her eyes. "| am well aware of the 'probation' my grandson has placed you on in regards to Moonstone Pack. Based on your current behavior, and no doubt your past behavior at these events, | have it in my right authority to extend that probation." Fiona bit back a disgruntled sneer. "Noted." "Evelyn is a highly valued member of the Kingston family as well as its pack.

It truly amazes me that for a doctor, your only interest is to feed on other people's insecurities and weaknesses. Perhaps, you ought to rethink your choice of career." Like a wild storm that was not to be stopped, Wendy moved on to the next person in line. Caroline tried to appear passive against Wendy's earlier reprimanding of Fiona. However, if anyone was able to see through Caroline's guise of innocence it was Wendy. "And as for you... consider Evelyn to be the highest candidate to take over the role of Luna. Even above yourself," she stated firmly, Caroline's eyes widened.

Her mouth fell open in baffled shock. She tried to adjust her stance to keep whatever shred of respect she had still with her. But it was quickly falling short. ---- For a brief moment, | truly thought that she was done. Hell, she tore Fiona and Caroline down as though it cost her not an ounce of energy. My nerves coiled and twisted with worry of feeling as though | had somehow caused her this trouble.
