“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

A wave of nostalgia hit me when I looked up at the Wisdom castle before me. A smile formed on my face. I’m home…


As I walked up the steps I saw a familiar young woman tending to the rose bushes that decorated the path up to the castle doors.


The woman turned around and saw me. A wide grin stretched across her face as she started running towards me.


“Eloise? Oh my Goddess, it’s actually you! It’s been so long!” She almost tackled me over trying to give me a hug.


I laughed. “Layla! It’s always so good to see you, my favorite cousin.”


“What are you doing here? Trouble in paradise?” Layla wiggled her eyebrows.


“No!” I playfully hit her arm. “I came to see mom and dad. Are they here?”


“They are but they’re in the middle of a meeting. I’m still going to take you to them, though! I’m sure they’d be more than happy to drop everything for you anyway.” She nudged my arm.
