“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’s either that or I turn you over to the guards where you can rot in the cells until Lord Xavier comes back from Caspian. And trust me—he’s not forgiving like I am.”


Dylan fidgeted with his hands before letting out a sigh. “I was just following orders, okay? I don’t know what Ben told you but I needed money. I needed it for my family.”


I rolled my eyes. “Look, if you’re just going to give me a sob story instead of the truth then—”


“It’s not a sob story.” Dylan's eyes were filled with hurt. “My family lives in Balmet, a small town that borders the Royal City. You would think that being right next to one of the richest places in the world would mean that our town would thrive…”


He continued. “No. All of the citizens of Balmet are poor. King Douglas had no wish to help us because he was too busy expanding his borders and allying himself with the vampires…”


My mouth fell open. “You know about the vampires colluding with Douglas?”
