“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

I escaped to my study after what I did. My mind swirled as if I had been the one who got drunk tonight.


I tried to get my bearings together and come back to my senses. I was horrified, terrified, sad, and angry. How could I have let it get to that point?


Lyon whimpered in the back of my mind. “You know Eloise is faithful to us… Why would you do this?”


“I don’t know!” I unintentionally screamed out loud as tears streamed down my face.


Eloise’s slap woke me up from my delusional anger. As I took a deep breath and wiped my face, I took a few moments to remember everything that Eloise had told me. I began to recall that she told how she had lost an earring while at the central market.


“She also told you that she met Liam there…” Lyon’s words trailed.


I let out a heavy sigh and I sunk my head into my hands.
