- Chapter 32
- [Evelyn’s POV]
- “Oh my God….How the hell am I going to do this?” I whispered to myself.
- As the date of the Luna Gathering dawned closer, my anxiety decided to return with worrisome vengeance. I tried to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t, necessarily, going to be alone this time. Alexander for one reason or another agreed to accompany me to the event.
- Truthfully, I shouldn’t have been nervous at all. It wasn’t as though I’d never gone to one of these events before. Unfortunately, I’d been dragged to many gatherings such as this one in the past. Each one felt like a mere mimic of the one before it.
- One of the main reasons why I was dubbed as the ‘wild child‘ was mainly because of my lack of interest in general social topics. I had very little care in high fashion and the newest makeup and hair trends.
- It made it difficult to relate to people and for them to want to connect with me.
- This whole situation was nothing new to me… Yet, for some reason, things were different this time around. Perhaps, it was because I wasn’t attending as just another Alpha’s daughter. I was a Luna now. That title placed me into a whole other category that I wasn’t entirely used to yet. My attendance was completely mandatory.
- Sure, I shared in the responsibilities with Grandma Wendy when I could, but when it came to my duties as a wife, my relationship
- with Alexander was all but nonexistent.
- Just one more factor to make me unrelatable to those around me.
- I was sort of hoping that since Alexander had introduced me to the soldiers it would have done something to help aid our
- relationship. But no.
- There was hardly any passing communication between us. And, as far as any intact went…Let’s just say that the beds in the
- master bedroom were still kept apart.
- I kept recalling Nina’s words about how I managed to leave a strong impression on Alexander, but had I?
- It certainly didn’t feel like I had
- He was still keeping me at a distance without so much as a word. It was almost impossible to not take something like that
- personally. Especially, because I genuinely believed that he and I had reached some kind of mutual connection when we spoke out
- about our mothers.
- Knock Knock Knock.
- The sudden knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. I turned to glance over my shoulder to find Nina peeking into the
- room.
- “What is it, Nina?”

- “Alexander is looking to meet with you down in the drawing room,” she said with a glimmer in her eye.
- My stomach flipped. “Did he give a reason as to why?”
- Nina merely smiled and gestured for me to follow her out. Amidst the dozen possibilities as to why Alexander would wish to meet me, nothing prepared me for when I reached the drawing room and glanced Inside.
- What the actual hell was going on?
- From wall to wall, the room was practically covered in different materials and dozens of boxes filled with new shows and a chest filled with jewelry. Oh, boy.
- Something in the back of my mind was telling me that this was all because of the upcoming gathering. Out of the corner of my
- eye, I spotted Alexander chatting with Claire across the room. As usual, he wore a serious expression on his face that dared not to
- be challenged.
- I couldn’t tell what the conversation revolved around but I had a deep feeling that it may have been about me.
- 1intentionally cleared my throat as a means to announce my presence. “Um, what is all this-
- “This isn’t just another gathering…It’s being held by the royal family, specifically the princess. Which means, everything needs
- to be perfect,” he stated firmly. “You will need to look perfect.
- Claire gave me a kind smile and stepped forward. “Nice to see you again, Evelyn.”
- I felt my cheeks flush slightly with embarrassment over the fact that I wasn’t currently wearing one of the outfits her team had specially designed for me. I hadn’t meant for it to come off as any sort of insult to her or her abilities as a designer. It was just that I always felt safer and more comfortable in my own clothes.
- “Nice to see you too, Claire.”
- I glanced back at Alexander with a questionable look. I already had a decent enough idea as to what was going on but I wanted to
- hear it from him directly.
- “Claire is here to create a whole new set of dresses for you for these kinds of events,” Alexander explained.
- My chest tightened. I knew I should have already anticipated this…God, at the rate I was going, I was going to need a whole new closet for more clothes that I was never planning on wearing. Having lived around staff and servants for most of my life, I never
- considered it to be a necessity.
- I blew out a long breath. “Is it necessary?” I dared to ask.
- “Yes.”
- “Claire and her team have already made a ton of new clothes for me to wear, surely there is something that I can wear from that
- “This is not up for debate,” he stated firmly back.

- I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from letting out a series of rude remarks. Regardless of how intimidating he was, I felt as
- though I was due more of an explanation and reason behind this excessive display of high social status.
- Alexander gave me an even look and let out a long breath. “As the strongest warrior among the Alphas in this region, this is my first time having a Luna. And I am going to ensure that her public image will be the best among all the Lunas there.”
- I wasn’t going to lie…I had a hard time believing the man’s sincerity. After all, this was coming from the same man who would barely speak to me on a daily basis–yet he wanted to make sure that I was visibly going to play the part of the Moonstone Pack’s
- Luna
- As usual, I didn’t have a choice in the matter. I guess it was stupid of me to assume that Alexander would have appealed to my
- personal preferences, even in a situation li
- this..
- “Fine,” I muttered coldly.
- Alexander appeared somewhat taken aback by my response. Maybe he was expecting me to put up more of an argument? I didn’t
- know. All that I was certain of was that I was going to be placed into another dress and appear as someone that I truly wasn’t. Yes,
- I was the Luna of the Moonstone Pack. But beneath that was my actual identity as Evelyn Silverwood.
- A woman that not many, if anyone, cared to know or acknowledge.
- The tension in the room grew thick and I could sense that Alexander was looking to leave.
- “Well, in that case, Claire, you have my preferences in mind. I’m sure you don’t need me to stick around here,” he said.
- I bit back a sneer and rolled my eyes. And just like that, he was gone.
- Alexander may have been a master strategist who did everything with a particular goal in mind, but this whole situation felt like it possessed a hidden double purpose. He’s never put his two cents into my physical appearance before, why now? Why this particular event?
- One way or another, 1 was determined to find out why.
