“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 in the early morning hours that Adrian informed me of one of my scouts returning to the castle. I got ready as soon as I could and went to meet them there.


Upon arriving, however, I saw only one of them had returned. I sent two of them.


“Apologies, my Lord. Devin stayed behind to follow a supposed lead of prince Adam’s presence in the Royal City. While they’re nothing more than rumors, the townsfolk have been riled up about the possibility of a vampire noble roaming freely at Douglas’s estate.”


“Quite the risky move to leave your own behind in enemy territory,” I raised an inquisitive brow. “There’s a reason I sent you two together. I can’t risk either of you falling into their hands.”
