“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

“It makes sense, doesn’t it?” Nora asked.


“Yeah. We were children when the marriage contract was first written and agreed to between our parents. My father had a gold bracelet made for Adam as a token of our future union.”


“He had to have kept it this entire time…”


“Then he could’ve been the only one the curse came from. But why? Why would he do something like that? Why would he get someone else to try and frame me for a crime against Mrs. Leonard?”


Just as my thoughts began to wander, a knock came at my door. Nora opened it for me and saw one of Mrs. Leonard’s servants at the door.


The servant bowed at us. “Lady Eloise, Mrs. Leonard has requested your presence at the dining hall.”


My gut began to twist into knots. “Did she say why?” I asked.


They nodded. “Yes, my Lady. Mrs. Leonard says that she has something prepared for you–tea and desserts. She wants to apologize for what happened the other day.”
