“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 wouldn’t have minded killing Stella riight then and there. She always had a bad habit of not knowing when to shut the hell up.


My eyes shifted to Vick as he watched my hands that were wrapped around his daughter’s neck. It must have sucked to have felt so useless that he couldn’t do anything to save his own daughter.


Vick started to cry and begged harder. "Please, my Lord! Don't do this to my Stella! She had nothing to do with this plan; it was all my idea! Please, let her go and we will leave immediately!"


I stopped for a moment and looked at the pathetic man who wept in front of me. Not long after, I loosened my grip on Stella. "You are to never set foot on Leonard territory again or I will not be so kind next time."


After the two fled, I was able to return to my study so I could begin the day's work. I needed to regain my focus on more important matters.
