“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 emotions rippled throughout my body when we arrived in Normand. This was where everything started–my marriage to Xavier, and the plan to end his life.


So much time had passed and while I was much closer to achieving my goal, things became more complicated and I hadn’t expected them to. I didn’t think that I’d fall victim to my charade.


When we dismounted the horse and were greeted by familiar Normand guards, Xavier led me down the hall of the surprisingly still cold castle to the parlor where we sealed our marriage.


Xavier closed the door behind us. “Eloise, I wanted to start this conversation by saying that I truly am grateful for you helping Belinda during her time of need.”


“On top of that, you also saved one of my cities. You’ve done so much since becoming Lady of the Leonards and I’m not sure words can truly depict how appreciative I am of you.” He smiled at me.
