“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 stared outside of the window and watched as the people below lived their lives. Time went forward for them but for me, it’s been at a standstill recently.


“Nora?” I sat at the table and picked at the now cold dinner. “Do you know if Lord Xavier will be back in time for dinner today?”


“Adrian says that Lord Xavier has important business to attend to today. I don’t think he’ll be back until it’s late, my Lady.” Nora responded with her head down.


“I see.” I sighed and began to eat dinner on my own. Again. For the fourth time this week.


Ever since Xavier and I became intimate, we’ve grown closer. In the morning, I would arrange his clothes, and in the evening, he would accompany me to dinner. Even his attitude towards me was more gentle and understanding.
