Chapter Coa Chapter 0037 I stared at the young , panicked driver as I tried to make sense of his words .
Of course , we invited the Alpha King to the wedding it would be an Insult not to but he never attended events like this .
There were too many weddings too frequently , and he didnt want to give the appearance of favoritism by only going to a few chosen events .
I knew what the driver was saying was unlikely , but he seemed so panicked that I knew he wasnt lying The entire kitchen had gone still as everyone stared at the boy , waiting for someone to react .
I turned my eyes to my mother .
She was staring at me with the same look of surprise that I was sure was on my own face .
Who told you this ? my mother finally asked .
We got a message , the boy replied , a message from the kings driver , that they would be arriving shortly before the ceremony is to begin .
They told us to be prepared for the king and his guest .
Are we prepared ? I asked , turning my uncertain eyes to my mother .
If the king is truly coming , then everything has to be perfect .
It will be , she said .
We cant afford for any slight thing to go wrong or to be out of place .
We cant risk upsetting or insulting the king , even accidentally .
I know , my mother said , grabbing both of my arms and making me look into her face .
Take a deep breath and calm down , Ella .
Everything is going to be perfect .
The king had not come to my wedding in the original timeline , and I had no idea why he would have changed his mind now .
Could it be because I had been attending Alpha Council meetings and made such a good impression that he was going out of his way for me ? I had a hard time believing it , but I had no other explanation .
My mother released my arms and grabbed a pastry from the counter .
Eat this and drink a cup of coffee , she instructed , then go upstairs and get ready for your wedding .
But I need to make sure that the staff- I will take care of everything , she promised .
All you need to focus on is getting yourself ready .
I reluctantly took the flaky pastry from her and nodded in agreement .
I knew I could trust my mother to make sure everything was completely perfect , but I still felt anxious and wished there was more I could do .
My mother calmly led the driver out of the room to speak with him privately , and I leaned against the counter , eating the pastry as my mind raced with all of the possibilities .
The Kings presence at the wedding could change everything .
There was no way for me to know if things would proceed the way they had in the original timeline .
What if everything went wrong ? What if my plan fell apart ? I shook my head .
No , it would do no good for me to think that way .
I had to move forward and trust that I would finally be able to expose the truth .
I quickly drank a cup of coffee and then started to head upstairs .
I wasnt sure if I would be able to sit still to get my hair and makeup done .
I was feeling anxious , and , if I was honest , a little frightened .

I needed reassurance , I didnt know who to go to .
but 14 Chapter 0037 +25 BONUS Instead of turning left and going into the bridal suite , I ducked into a storage room across the hall and pulled my phone out of my pocket .
It was the first time I had ever called Alexander .
Usually , I would text, and he would call me if he was available to talk .
But now I was shaky and frightened , and he was the only one I could think of who could make me feel better and restore a bit of my confidence .
Alexander picked up on the second ring .
What is it ? he asked in a curt tone .
Ive just been told that the Alpha King will be attending tonight , I said in a breathless rush .
I dont know what to do .
Thats unusual , he said thoughtfully .
I would suggest that you proceed as usual .
I dont think this warrants an adjustment in the plans .
I frowned down at the phone .
He was reacting strangely to this .
Surely , he must understand how odd it was for the King to come to the wedding of an Alphas daughter .
Why did he seem so nonchalant about it ? Then I heard a voice on the other end of the phone .
Someone was speaking to Alexander .
I couldnt be certain , but it sounded a little bit like his beta .
Thats when I understood why he was speaking strangely he wasnt alone .
He was being guarded so that he wouldnt reveal who he was speaking to I immediately felt stupid for having called him .
I should have been more careful and texted him to see if he was in a place where he could talk .
After all , we were not supposed to have a relationship of any kind It would seem extremely strange if anyone knew I had called him .
As far as anyone knew , we werent even friends .
I I could have just ruined everything with my impulsiveness had to be more careful .
Do you agree with my assessment ? Alexander asked .
Yes , I replied quickly .
Youre right , of course .
It was too late to make any changes to the plan anyway .
I would just have to hope that the kings presence wouldnt alter things in an unexpected way .
I just wanted to give you a heads up , I said , trying to sound calm , so that you could be fully prepared .
Thank you for passing along the information , he replied .
Well talk again soon .
Right , I answered before quickly hanging up .
I wanted to cry out in frustration , but I resisted the urge .
Even hiding in a storage room , there was a possibility that someone would hear me .
I didnt need to embarrass myself any further today .
My nerves were going to get the better of me if I wasnt more careful .
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself , then made my way across the hallway to the bridal suite .
Hair and makeup artists had been hired to get me ready for the day .
All eyes would be on me , and I needed to make sure I looked my best .
I had met with the beauticians a few times already and done a few practice looks , so I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to look like .
It wasnt all that different from what I had chosen in the original timeline .
It was a little bit more refined and mature , but that was the only slight difference .
I walked into the room , expecting to find the staff eagerly awaiting me .
Instead , I saw that they were already hard at work .
The makeup artist was thoughtfully examining her palette , holding it up to match the skin tone of the person sitting in the makeup chair , while the hairstylist was busy with 23 +25 BONUS Chapter 0037 a flat iron .
They turned to look at me as I entered the room , as did the person sitting in the chair .
A guilty look stole over her face when she saw me .
I stared back at her , anger building in my chest that I knew wouldnt be able to contain .
Amanda .
