“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

I suddenly jolted awake as sweat ran down my forehead. This wasn’t the first time I had experienced nightmares about the prophecy but as time went on, they became more frequent.


It was as if I was constantly being reminded about how little time I had left. My life and those I held dear were on a balance—and it was tipping in favor of Death.


I sat up and rubbed the back of my neck as my mind swam with thoughts.


About a month ago, my mother always nagged me about studying magic and becoming more powerful. One day, I figured that I had enough of it and took off to go spend some time with my grandmother. She was always so understanding.


During my stay, I began to explore my grandmother’s home. It was then I stumbled upon a mirror while rummaging through the various boxes in the spare room.
