The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 49 [Evelyn's POV] For what it was worth, | appreciated Wendy trying to salvage whatever dignity | still had left at that point. Honestly, the moment | found out that Alexander wasn't going to be able to attend, | should have found an excuse myself not to show up to this mess of a gathering. Having saved me from what would have been an embarrassing fall, Wendy patted my arm and turned to greet the Queen "Hello, your Majesty." The Queen Luna practically lit up with jovial excitement.

"When | heard that Wendy Kingston was in attendance, | nearly ran here on foot." Wendy gave her a light-hearted chuckle. "And may | say, only you would be able to run a marathon in those heels, your Majesty." | marveled over the friendly exchange between the two older women. Meanwhile, | awkwardly glanced back at Princess Rena, feeling my cheeks slightly flush from my earlier mishap. Surprisingly, Rena had offered me a small smile in return. "It's alright," she said softly.

"The first time | tried to curtsy, | did fall to the floor." ---- Some of the weight seemed to lift off my shoulders and | was able to breathe a little easier for the time being. "I'm sure it wasn't an easy thing to master," | commended. For at least a minute, Rena's gaze drifted over me with a look that | could only classify as curiosity. Surely, | was wrong...Right? | mean, why would someone like her be even remotely interested in me? "ls it true that you're married to Alexander Kingston?" she asked bluntly. "Uh, y-yes," | answered.

"Perhaps, you and | could meet again sometime," Rena suggested with a hint of unexpected eagerness in her voice. | more than graciously nodded my head in agreement and allowed the air to re-enter my lungs once more as the two royals moved on to the next group. Truthfully, I felt as though | had gotten over the worst of the encounters for the day and was finally able to relax. "Would you mind getting us some tea, dear?" Wendy asked. "Of course, I'll be right back," | told her.

As | made my way back over to the refreshment table, | felt a ---- lingering presence hanging over me like some dark shadow. A sharp, menacing voice filled my ear. Fiona. "You may be the Moonstone Pack's Luna, but you'll never be Alexander's true love," she hissed. "That gentle, perfect Luna Princess, Rena...Is Alexander's first love and unforgettable ex. You will never compare to her." And just like that, she was gone like a ghost in the wind. Just like that, the same foreboding sensation that had crashed over me once before had rushed back. Why should I care what she says?

If | had learned anything from our unfortunate encounters, it was that Fiona only spoke with the purpose to hurt and diminish other people. Who knew if what she was claiming about Alexander was true? The problem was, that my sense of logic was not enough to outweigh my insecurities. Alexander and | were not intimate-hell, we weren't even close speaking terms with one another. My thoughts were still haunted by what Fiona had said to me earlier. Alexander had basically settled for me because he didn't have any confidence in himself due to his injuries and physical state.

Was Rena the reason why he never showed any interest in dating ---- or marriage? [Third-Person's POV] "Are you sure you want to do this, sit?" Oliver asked. "You know that | can easily have one of the cars be brought around to pick up Evelyn and your Grandmother. Or, if you wish, | would go in your place." Alexander had returned back from the grounds where the section of the border wall had been damaged. Many of the soldiers were already in the process of reinforcing the barrier by the time he got there.

All that he needed to do was take into account what happened and give out new direct orders should the rogue make the flourish decision to come back.
