“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 became thirsty from having my mouth open for so long out of shock. While I should’ve been celebrating the swift taking of Gray, I couldn’t get over the fact that Xavier had gotten hurt.


“Although Lord Xavier will not admit it, his wounds are rather severe. Please make your way to Gray at your earliest convenience,” I reread out loud.


I jumped out of bed and despite it being the middle of the night, I ran packed a light backpack, and ordered for a guard to get the carriage ready. I didn’t want to waste any time getting Xavier the medical treatment he needed.


What am I thinking? His medics are more capable than I am. Why can’t I just admit that I want to see him?


On the way to Gray, Mona flew out of the mirror and sat next to me. Although I couldn’t explain my thoughts, I felt my body tense up in her presence.
