The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

Chapter 9 Meeting The Parents [ Third Person POV ] 0 回 Finished Alexander watched with heavy amusement as Evelyn scurried from the bathroom .

He would have been lying if he had claimed that he hadnt stolen another glance at the woman before she jumped to put her dress back on .

His new Luna was truly becoming an interesting addition to his life .

However , there was still much more he needed to uncover about her before he could allow himself to trust her .

And even then , he wasnt sure if he wanted to bring Evelyn in on his plans .

Actions , indeed , spoke louder than words … And Alexander wanted to put Evelyns claim of admiring and wanting to care for him to the test .

Hed purposely placed them both in a precarious situation one that was meant to reveal her true nature .

Needless to say , he wasnt sure if he was coming any closer to uncovering the truth about her .

When one of the servants arrived to help Alexander out of the bath , he easily stood up and swiftly waved them off .

With a courteous bow , the servant left Alexander to get ready on his own .

Yes , he had to find out Evelyns true intentions before moving forward with anything .

Because , even if by some chance , she didnt turn out to be a spy sent by the King , he still had to make the decision as to whether or not she should be brought in on his vital secret .

The house was Alexanders safehouse , and everyone inside was his confidant .

So , in turn , they all knew that he wasnt injured .

He grabbed the nearest towel and started to pat himself dry .

He reached up to undo the mask , tossing it onto the counter .

The side of his face , that Alexander always kept covered with the mask , was completely symmetrical with the other side .

Both his jawline and cheek structure were completely intact .

So , why the mask ? Upon the idea of devising his plan to make everyone believe that he had been horrifically injured in the car accident , Alexander had opted for the idea of adding the use of a mask for a much more dramatic effect .

And he believed that it worked .

Many outsiders had a difficult time looking at him , which only added to his overall sense of intimidation .

But beneath it all , was the same devastatingly handsome face that had always been there .

When Alexander had finished getting ready , his Beta stepped in to pass on an update .

Evelyn has made it down to the living room .

Is someone watching her ? he asked .

Yes , sir .

He gave a tight nod .

Good .

Originally , he had planned to brush off this marriage like he had done with others in the past .

Hell , Evelyn wasnt supposed to even make it down the aisle much less agree to marry him under the given circumstances .

Yet , it happened .

Since this wasnt ever meant to be a formal wedding , Alexander knew that he owed some kind of an explanation to his pack .

He thought about waiting a bit longer since no one in the pack knew about the wedding for the time being .

But his doubts about Evelyn , especially since she was so eager to marry him , were still lingering .

Aside from having a possible connection with the king , he needed to ensure that Evelyn had no real ties with his own family as well Most of his family members were , unknowingly , under investigation for the connection to the car accident .

Sending her 1/3 Ժ Chapter 9 Meeting The Parents It was a loaded question that Alexander could have spent hours dissecting .

At least she didnt seem like a well trained seductress .

Are you sure its not an act ? Remembering Evelyns earlier reaction , Alexander couldnt help but smile .

Very sure .

放贷 Finished Other than deciphering his Lunas possible motives , the Alpha was positively sure of one other thing .

His wife was absolutely breathtaking .

[ Evelyns POV ] If I was thankful for anything that had gone on in the last couple of hours , it was how quickly Nina and I had become friends .

I felt beyond lucky to have someone who was willing to speak to me on normal terms and even go as far as to inform me of relevant , important matters .

Nina had noticed me flying out of Alexanders bathroom before and was kind enough to not ask any questions .

Although , did manage to catch the pleased look on her face .

What exactly am I walking into ? I asked , nervously .

I On the way to the living room , Nina went on to explain some of the complexities of Alexanders family dynamics .

Some of which I would never have guessed ..

Only , Alexanders parents are here to visit , she started .

His father , Henry , and his Stepmother , Caroline neither of whom are of much importance to this pack .

I figured that as long as I could get through this meeting , I would be fine … I hoped .

I slightly turned my head to glance at Nina in question .

Hold on , if neither of Alexanders parents has any part in his pack , then who controls the household finances ? That would be Wendy , his Grandmother , Nina answered .

Wendy doesnt trust Caroline with anything personal relating to the Moonstone Pack due to some past mistakes .

If you want to gain some of Alexanders approval and make it within the pack , then find a way to gain Wendys favor .

I merely nodded my head , not having a single thought as to how I was supposed to win the favor of a woman I had never met .

The thought of today getting any more nerve wracking was enough to make me sick .

Is there anyone I should know about ? Yes , Alexander also has a Stepbrother named Michael .

Hes Carolines son and is currently away , studying at school so theres no need for you to worry about him .

I was truly touched by Ninas thoughtfulness to fill me in on the important notions of Alexanders family .

The man was so easy to brush me off before , there was the likely chance that I would have never known any of these things without her help .

Nina had been the first real person to make me feel welcomed and at home here , She reminded me greatly of the many people I had left back home ; all of those I trusted .

It both warmed my heart and left .

me feeling lonely .

Stepping into the living room , I put on my most confident smile and went up to Alexanders parents .

Hello , Im Evelyn , Alexanders new Luna .

Its nice to meet you .

Yourre the one Alexander married ? Caroline asked with a tone of contemplation .

Yes .

I confirmed slowly Is there a problem ? Chapter 9 Meeting The Parents Finished My brows drew together .

Did Alexander really think I was going to be scared off like the other brides ? Or had he intentionally tried to scare me away ? Im sure youre well aware of the others that had been matched before you , Caroline said .

Alexander can be a bit difficult to handle at times .

I bit the inside of my cheek and tried to push the biting anger back .

Im sure he and I will be just fine , I said tightly .

My chest filled with indignation as I inwardly cursed Alexander for putting me in such an uncomfortable situation .

My God .

It seemed like no matter what , the man wa deliberately trying to complicate my life .

Lost in thought about Alexander , I glanced upstairs and saw a shadow at the corner of the hall .

I leaned back on my heels to find the corner footrest of a wheelchair just barely visible .

Was Alexander just sitting up there , overhearing this entire encounter ? Send Gifts B 3/3
