“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

A rush of cold air flooded the bathroom. Despite the hot water that surrounded me, it wasn’t enough to stave off the obvious temperature drop from Xavier’s presence alone.


I hugged my knees and sank myself lower into the water where only my head was visible. I needed to think of a way to deal with him, and quickly.


Being naked and vulnerable in front of an angry Alpha? Definitely not an ideal situation…


Xavier crossed the distance between the door and me in the blink of an eye, and placed both of his hands on the tub. “You need to tell me what your relationship is to that vampire or there will be some problems.”


My heart began to pound wildly. I thought carefully of what to say next in fear of not wanting to anger him any more. He could break my neck if I say anything else to offend him…


The closer he got, the colder I became. “My Lord… may I please get decent first? I’ll explain everything, I promise.”
