“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

“Good job, Lady Eloise.” Priest Lucas looked at me with a smile. “You did much better today with your walk on the stage. Playing the role of a Goddess means personifying both grace and strength.”


I curtsied. “Thank you, Priest Lucas. Will that be all for today?”


“Yes, yes. I don’t want to keep you from doing anything else you may have on your busy schedule. Plus, I’m needed at the medical bay today. Good luck with Luna Festival, Lady Eloise.”


With the Luna Festival fast approaching, Xavier and I had become very busy. He was busy preparing for everything—the food catering, the decorations, the security, you name it.


Meanwhile, all I had to do was practice for my brief role in the opening ceremony. I was able to learn the ceremony’s etiquette fairly quickly, which meant I was free to do other things while waiting for the festival.
