My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 52

Roxanne nearly rolled her eyes and groaned at Rita’s words. This was how Rita continued her

reminiscing, with Roxanne listening to her every word as they walked back to Rita’s home to prepare

for their audience with Asher.

“Yeah, on second thought… She seems more childish” Roxanne laughed to herself as she

watched Rita divulge tales of her romantic past.

They reached the large, wooden house in no time and entered the warm place. Roxanne missed

the heavenly smell and warmth that filled the room. She took in a deep breath and moaned pleasantly.

“As much as it makes me happy that you enjoy being back here, we won’t be taking long. You

should get freshened up. Bathroom is that way, the hallway straight down to your left. Rita explained.

“I’ll go prepare some warm water, so just get undressed and wait there. Afterward, we’ll select the

clothes that suit you most for your meeting.” Rita furthered.

“Is this all necessary? It’s just a meeting, you know? What’s wrong with what I’m currently

wearing?” Rita said, displeased that she had to go out of her way for someone who was akin to a

criminal.

“You’re kidding, right? This is your first time officially meeting your mate, you have to be dazzling

and irresistible, you know?” Rita smiled

“Yeah, yeah” Rixanne rolled her eyes and retreated to the bathroom, following Rita’s direction,

while she went to get the water for Roxanne's use.

[Moments Later]

“You look great,” Rita said with a wide smile, staring at Roxanne in her outfit.

She wore a luxurious looking blue shirt, with dark trousers and a deep brown winter jacket. Her

boots were thick and warm brown, with her cap being a matching colour with her jacket.

“This feels weird,” Roxanne grumbled.

“Nonsense! You look perfect, we should get going now.” Rita encouraged me.

With a heavy sigh and an uneasy feeling, Roxanne followed Rita’s lead and left the house.

“Where exactly are we going?” Roxanne asked.

“Ohhh, our destination is Rockwood Peak. Remember the cave you found yourself in when you

woke up? The peak of that small cluster of rocks is our destination” Rita explained.

“Let me guess, that’s like the office of your Alpha?” Roxanne smiled smugly.

Rita laughed at Roxanne’s description. She clearly enjoyed the atmosphere Roxanne was making.

“Yeah, exactly like that,” Rita replied.

“Are you nervous?” Rita suddenly asked with a sincere look and an understanding gaze.

Roxanne remained silent as she heard this. She honestly did not know what to say. She was

clearly scared of whatever might happen to her when she met the mysterious Asher. Flashes of the

wolf chase still went through her head, a trauma she couldn’t let go of. If the wolf monster in her

memory was the same as the Asher she was going to meet, of course she would feel uneasy. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“A little…” Roxanne replied.

Rita placed her hands on Roxanne's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile.

“Don't worry, you’ll be fine. Most times, the first impression we have of others isn’t exactly how they

truly are. The image you have of Asher may not be who he really is in actuality. Just keep an open

mind and give him a chance, okay?” Rita said with encouragement.

Roxanne nodded slightly and gave her a small smile.

“Sure, thanks” She responded.

Rita’s words had wisdom in them, and Roxanne could tell she was talking from experience. Maybe

Asher was not the asshole she imagined him to be. Perhaps a small chance could be given for him to

explain himself. After all, she was in a foreign place, with foreign cultures and policies. Perhaps

abducting unsuspecting teenage girls was acceptable here... What bullshit.

“He’s still a piece of shit to me though. Should actually be otherwise, he’s going to have to prove

it!” Roxanne resolved.
