My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 39

“Roxy, listen to me closely. Asher took you for one reason and one reason alone… To become his

mate” Rita said.

“What the he-“ Roxanne let out with perplexity.

“I’m not done Roxy.” Rita cautioned her.

This made Roxanne feel even more annoyed, but she listened nonetheless.

“A mate is a Werewolf’s other half, our eternal partner, sealed by marriage and bound by love.

However, the most basic criteria for a Werewolf’s mate is that first and foremost… The mate has to be

a Werewolf” Rita explained.

Roxanne heard her words but didn’t understand, or rather she didn’t want to understand. She

refused to accept something so absurd that it made her skin crawl.

Her being a Werewolf? Impossible!

“That’s impossible, what you’re saying makes no sense!” She argued.

“Roxy, It’s the only way to explain this. Lord Asher picked you to be his mate, it is a serious matter

among us Werewolves… Something that is not taken lightly among us. If he picked you, then there’s

no doubt you are a werewolf.” Rita replied.

“You’re ignoring one other option. Maybe your all-powerful Alpha made a mistake. My family is

entirely normal, foreign to this whole wolf concept! You’ve got the wrong girl! I’m no one’s bride! Heck,

I’m just 19! I’m still in High school and I don’t need to deal with this bullshit right now!” Roxanne

responded in angry frustration.

“That’s not possible. Lord Asher would never pick you out of a mere mistake or coincidence. If he

picked you, then it must mean you are the real deal. Besides, I do not know who your family is or their This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

reasons for not telling you anything about your identity, but I can feel it even within me that you are my

kin” Rita said.

“Besides, as for your last statement… About age… I was 18 when I met Dax, my mate. I

understand you are still growing and may find it difficult to accept my words or your new reality, but you

soon will Doxy, trust me!” Rita explained calmly.

Roxanne scoffed at Rita’s words and shook her head in disagreement with a look of

disappointment in her eyes.

“You’re crazy! I don’t know why or how I let you talk me into this whole Werewolf nonsense, but I

can see it now… You’re all bonkers here!” Roxanne said, rising from her seat.

“No Roxy, just sit down and listen to me. You are…” Rita stood as well, trying to draw closer to

Roxanne.

“Stay away from me! I can’t believe I actually thought we could be friends. You actually agree with

whoever did this to me? I can't deal with this anymore” Roxanne said, backing away from Rita.

Rita still tried to speak, but Roxanne clearly wasn’t in the mood for listening. With an intense glare

and a determined look in her eye, she spoke with resolve.

“I’m done with all of this! I want to go home… NOW!” Roxanne declared with a frown.

Rita gave her a look which made her realise the truth that she had not seen since she woke up.

The thing Rita was trying to distract her from. Roxanne finally realised that she had been deceiving

herself, thinking she could leave at any time. However, in actuality that wasn’t the case.

“I’m sorry Roxy, but I can’t let you leave.” Rita said with resolve.

Rita moved toward the door and stood a small distance from it, blocking the exit so that Roxanne

couldn’t leave. In essence, Roxanne was trapped!

“Get out of my way Rita. Now! She clenched her fist.

“No Roxy. I can’t… I’m sorry. Let’s talk more. There’s so much I still haven’t been able to explain to

you. Roxy!”

“Don’t call me that! Only my friends call me that, and you’re not one of them!” Roxanne shouted.

This sudden outburst shocked Rita and she took a step back, loosening her concentration. Her

face expressed pain as she looked at Roxanne, showing she was hurt by her words.

While Roxanne felt guilty for her statement, she felt she finally had the window of opportunity now

that Rita’s guard was down. With a quick sprint, she quickly brushed past Rita, who still stood in a stun

as she slowly processed Roxanne’s angry words. She opened the door and faced the front of her to

see the snowy settlement beyond the warm house.

However… What she saw was entirely different, not what she expected at all!

A tall and buff man stood beyond the door and stared at her as she nearly bumped into him when

she attempted to make her escape after opening the door.

He had dark brown colored hair and his deep green blue eyes had a sharp gaze which intimidated

Roxane and made her take steps backward. He had a short, trimmed beard, coupled with a plain grey

shirt and dark blue jeans, he appeared to be a man in his early twenties.

He walked into the house slowly, but with a sense of purpose and an aura of control. As he walked

in, Roxanne instinctively took steps back, until she found herself to be some distance from the door and

the man now guarded the place which guaranteed her escape. He used his hands to slightly push the

door, causing it to close once again, leaving her trapped within the house once again.

He looked around the house and then his eyes rested on Rita, who looked a bit shaken when she

saw him, still affected by Roxanne’s words.

“Rita, what’s going on here?” He asked her

“She isn’t listening to me. I tried to explain to her but she’s quite stubborn. She won’t budge” Rita

said with a downcast expression, walking to the man’s location.

“Who the hell is this guy?” Roxanne asked herself as she glared at the man, who also returned the

look.

Rita stood beside him and smiled fondly.

“Roxy, it’s fine. This is the man I was telling you about…”

Roxanne's eyes immediately bulged as she heard this. In front of her… The dashingly handsome

but fierce looking man, was he Asher?

“So this is him?, he’s the one who abducted me” Roxanne concluded.
