“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

The guards threw us into our bedroom and locked the door. Xavier only gave us a day to pack our belongings and we were expected to leave by tomorrow morning.


Instead of packing, I curled up in the bed’s blankets. I took a pillow to my face and began screaming and crying.


Maybe I should’ve stayed in Witches Land… I shouldn’t have gone to Normand. I shouldn’t have gotten married into the Leonard family… What went wrong?


I knew that our marriage was supposed to be nothing more than a contract and I knew I was only there to kill Xavier. But I felt so hurt and betrayed by the whole situation.


Why wouldn’t Xavier listen to me? Why didn’t he at least try to talk to me to get my side of the story? He didn’t even give me the benefit of a doubt!
