“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

Xavier held on to my hand but not as tight as before. If I wanted to break away and leave him to suffer, I could. He looked embarrassed and seemed to realize that he was being far too rough.


However, I stayed behind. My breathing was still against him.


He turned me around, taking my hand in his again. Xavier began to guide my touch down his chest. My soft fingers were soon gliding over his abdomen, down to his lower abdomen, then to his hardened cock.


I shrunk my hand back for a moment as my heart thudded against my chest. We had never been intimate before and the closest it ever got was the night I fumbled over him trying to get to the other side of the bed.


I looked up at his flushed face and took note of his labored breathing. It seems as if I don't have another choice.


It's fine. You're just… helping him. I tried to persuade myself.
