“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 really have got to stop getting knocked out…


When I partially came back to my senses, the first thing I noticed was how hard my head throbbed. At this point, brain damage should’ve been on my to-worry-about list.


I tried to open my eyes and adjust my vision to the darkness of the room that surrounded me. For a moment, I forgot where I was.


“Eloise?” A familiar voice whispered out to me. “What are you doing here?”


I looked to my left and saw the silhouette of a woman. After blinking a few times, I realized where I was, who I was looking at, and why. I was here. Waves of memory crashed inside of my already hurting head.


“Mrs. Leonard? Thank the Goddess you’re not hurt.” I tried to sound positive.


“I suppose I can say the same for you…”


Did she just say something kind of nice to me?


“Now, are you going to answer my question or did that hit to the head affect your hearing, too?”
