“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

After Xavier left, I got out of bed and took a quick shower before getting dressed. I was worried about having to face him once he got back from his meeting. Especially since I had kicked him in the chest.


I worked so hard to get close to him! I hope I didn’t mess things up too badly.


I thought of different ways I would apologize and waited nervously all day but Xavier didn't return at all that night. It made me extremely uneasy and I had hoped I would be able to sleep it off until the next morning.


Instead, I ended up staying up all night because of how anxious I felt.


My feelings of worry only got worse when Nora came to the room with a letter.


“My Lady, I have something for you from your family.”


Nora nodded her head. “A messenger was sent and told me to deliver it to you urgently. I don’t know what it says but the way the messenger looked at me… it might not be good.”
