“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 was odd not having Xavier hover over me today but at least it gave me an opportunity to go into the garden without feeling like I was being watched. I needed some time to practice my magic now that the Luna Festival was done and over with.


I went out around lunchtime and came back in time for dinner. Xavier hadn’t returned so I thought about going back to the garden for a little while longer. I figured that I was at least going to come back in time for bed.


When I entered the room, I found that it was extremely dark and hard to see. I switched on the light and saw Xavier sitting on the bed.


I jumped. “Xavier! You scared me! You could’ve at least turned on the lights,” I giggled.


When I got a look at his face, I saw that this expression was down. “Did something happen? What’s wrong?” I asked in a gentle tone.
