“Will you marry me, Alpha Xavier?” I asked and bowed slightly. Lord Xavier is currently the Alpha of the Leonard family. 
Apparently, he’s been hailed as one of the strongest men on the continent—and the most handsome. Not like that matters to me but I guess it’s a plus. 
“Excuse me?” The man stared at me in disbelief. “If have to repeat myself, will you marry me?” I looked up at Xavier who hadn’t moved a muscle nor taken his eyes off of me. 
He just needs to accept my proposal already! This silence and waiting is unbearable! I’m offering you money and power. 
What more could you possibly— “I accept your marriage proposal.” Xavier interrupted my thoughts and released his hold on me. I’ve succeeded! Another step closer to your death, my Lord…

 ------- Xavier’s POV 

I accepted the witch girl’s proposal and walked out of the parlor without looking back at her. How could I? 
My heart raced inside of my chest, though I knew that these beats weren’t my own. Throughout the entire ordeal, something itched in the back of my mind. I knew what it was. 
“Lyon!” I commanded through thought. “What was that all about? What happened?” A howl echoed through my mind. 
“She’s our mate!” Lyon exclaimed. Mate?! The daughter of the Wisdom family was supposed to be my Luna? I couldn’t believe that the Moon Goddess was capable of such jokes and trickery.

Propose To The Alpha

The day after Eloise had left my castle, I was in my council chambers having a meeting with my generals and subordinates. We were going over how to reinforce Normand’s defenses for the winter months.


“The northern borders are in good condition. The mountains will be more than enough to thwart any attacks from that direction.” One of my generals spoke.


“And what of the southern border that leads into Noah?” Adrian asked.


“Lieutenant Alex has just been assigned a new squad of recruits.” I spoke up. “He has his hands full with training procedures but as long as he is able to develop their strength in the coming month, the southern Normand borders will be fine, too.”


Another general nodded. “For now, that just leaves the western and eastern–”


Unexpectedly, our discussions were interrupted when a guard barged through the large oak doors.
