Alexander watched with heavy amusement as Evelyn scurried from the bathroom. He would have been lying if he had claimed that he hadn’t 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 wasn’t sure if he wanted to bring Evelyn in on his plans.
Actions, indeed, spoke louder than words…
And Alexander wanted to put Evelyn’s claim of admiring and wanting to care for him to the test. He’d purposely placed them both in a precarious situation–one that was meant to reveal her true nature.
Needless to say, he wasn’t 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 Evelyn’s true intentions before moving forward with anything. Because,
.even if by some chance, she didn’t 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 Alexander’s safehouse, and everyone inside was his confidant. So, in turn, they all knew that he wasn’t 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 wasn’t supposed to even make it down the aisle–much less agree to marry him under the given circumstances. Yet, it happened.
Since this wasn’t 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 down to the living room first, to essentially greet them, was just another test to figure out her character.
Oliver smirked. “So, how did it go?”
It was a loaded question that Alexander could have spent hours dissecting.
“At least she didn’t seem like a well–trained seductress.”
“Are you sure it’s not an act?”
Remembering Evelyn’s earlier reaction, Alexander couldn’t help but smile. “Very sure.
Other than deciphering his Luna’s possible motives, the Alpha was positively sure of one other thing. His wife was absolutely breathtaking.
