“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

Xavier takes a deep breath and tries to give me a reassuring smile before nodding at Adrian and the other scout. “Please give us a moment.”


I smiled at Adrian as he left. I tried to be polite to the scout, too, but when I met his almost familiar


“I hope everything’s okay…” Even though I knew it wasn’t.


Xavier sighed. “Honestly? No, it’s not. I’m sure you heard about what’s going on while you were out in the hallway.”


“I did… I hope Captain Oliver’s okay. And the citizens of Caspian, too. I’m guessing you’ll be heading out to their rescue soon?”


Xavier nodded his head. “I’m looking to leave no later than this evening. The S.O.S letter was signed and dated three days ago. I have some faith that he’s alive–he’s not the type to go down without a fight.”


Then Xavier turns to me as he leans against his desk. He holds out his hand. “Why were you lurking outside of my study? Is there something wrong?”
