“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

Once I was able to steady myself, the mysterious brown-haired man quickly let me go. I looked up at him and gave him a small smile. "Thank you so much for helping me."


Wow. His eyes are such a beautiful, bright shade of turquoise when he smiles. I thought to myself.


I noticed that the man continued to stare at me and it was making me super uncomfortable. I couldn't get a read on what his intentions were but mostly, I just hated being stared at for so long. With a hurried goodbye, I linked my arm with Nora and walked away.


We walked out of the central market as we were expecting to meet Adrian. However, instead, it was Xavier.


Nora nodded at me and left us alone so she could go find Adrian.


“My Lord, what brings you here? I thought Adrian was going to be picking me up?"
