“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 came out of the shower and tossed myself into the bed. I pulled the covers over my head and let out a heavy sigh. “Please turn off the lights, Nora. I need to get some sleep.”


“Don’t you want to wait for Lord Xavier?” Nora asked me hesitantly.


I pulled the pillow to my chest and hugged it tightly. “No. I’m too tired and he shouldn’t be back tonight. Adrian told me that had business to take care of.”


After Xavier left last night, I didn’t bother to fix my appearance. I was far too stunned, hurt, and angry to take care of myself.


Despite how much he had hurt me, though, I still wanted him here. It made no sense to me but I wanted us to work through this and talk about it. I just hated that he chose brutality over diplomacy.
