“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 early sun woke me up this morning as I looked over and saw Eloise sleeping peacefully. After what happened yesterday, I knew that I needed to get to the bottom of something–Liam’s feelings for my wife.


There was no denying that Liam felt something. The way he looked at her like a lost puppy gave everything away. He was far too easy to read.


Even more, Liam gave Eloise one of his most prized possessions–his mother’s handkerchief. As soon as I saw the pattern on the cloth, I knew there was no mistaking it.


He used to carry that handkerchief with him every day and wouldn’t let another soul get close to it. Hell, he wouldn’t even let his maids take it for cleaning. Yet, he easily gave something so precious to Eloise just to stop a minor cut.


Out of selfishness, I decided not to tell Eloise about the story behind Liam’s handkerchief. I didn’t want her to get the idea that there was another man who cared so deeply for her.
