“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

Ever since I first saw the prophecy's vision from the ancient mirror, I had nightmares almost every night. The bodies that littered the floor and the blood drained from their faces always terrified me.


But when I got married to the man who was destined to kill me and everyone I loved, the nightmares suddenly stopped. Maybe it had something to do with Xavier’s body always being so warm throughout the night. That always managed to calm me down.


But for some reason, I wasn't able to sleep so peacefully tonight. I stayed in the bedroom all day so it’s not like anything happened.


Yet, I tossed and turned restlessly, despite the warmth from Xavier's body usually being enough to calm me down.


My eyes were still closed as if I were asleep. While I was in an exhausted state, I couldn’t mistake the feeling of someone who was touching me. At first, the hand rested on my shoulder and massaged it softly.
