My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 55

Intruders

“What am I going to do with you,” Asher thought to himself, looking at Roxanne's defiant glare.

Her actions so far were an insult to him, as well as his position as the Alpha of his pack and Wolf

King of the tribe. Of course, Roxanne wasn’t supposed to know of this, so she didn’t know any better,

but he was still upset by her words.

He calmed himself and turned away from her, not saying anything else. He didn’t know how to

respond to her accusations. Surely, he knew what he did was impulsive, but since she was going to be

his anyway, he simply sped up the process by bringing her to the pack.

“I don’t have time to take the long route. According to Dax and the others, eventually, the mates fall

in love with one another and become bonded. Isn’t it inevitable that she would become mine?” He

reasoned within himself.

In his opinion, he merely took the most rational route by taking her. Of course, he was well aware

of the fact that he chased her till she passed out, but he was just observing her closely, and as long as

he was there, no ‘real’ danger could befall her. He also had to make sure she was a werewolf like

himself, after all she showed no signs of being one.

“Just so you know, I wasn’t stalking you or anything. I just happened to be passing by” Asher said,

his back still facing her.

“Sureee” Roxanne rolled her eyes.

“Rita has told you all about the mating ritual, hasn’t she?” He asked.

“Hey, you don’t ask the questions here, I do! You don’t get to do all this shit to me and except to

me just sit tight and answer your questions. If you’re talking about the whole mate nonsense, sorry to

break it to you, but it's not going to happen! I despise you, I don’t want to stay here, I just want to go

back home! You can’t keep me here fore-'' Roxanne protested.

“I can… And I will. You don’t belong there anyway. You’re my mate now, which means you should

stay with me, among my people. You should consider yourself honoured, really…” Asher said, turning

back to her with a more relaxed look, once again brimming with confidence.

“… Your mate is the Royalty of this entire region… Most women would not hesitate at the chance

to…”

As Asher was still speaking, Roxanne rushed to him and raised her first to hit him. He quickly

caught her hand effortlessly, stopping it before it reached his face. She quickly used her second one in

another attempt, but failed as he quickly caught it too.

“Anything else you want to try?” He asked her.

With an even frustrated look, she raised her knee and hit him in his groin. The tingling sensation as

her hard knee landed on his most private place caused Asher's body to shake, releasing her hands

which he held. He took a few steps back, stunned by the pain he felt as he controlled himself from

making any painful gesture to express the agony he felt.

Roxanne’s body throbbed as she was released, withdrawing to where Rita stood behind her and

looking frightened. When she landed the hit with her leg, she could feel, even for a brief moment, the

impact her knee had with his body. Since she did it out of anger, it was sure to hurt… And piss him off.

She looked over to Rita, who stared at her with disappointment and slight gloom. She turned back

to look at Asher, expecting him to stare at her with fury and seething rage due to what she had done.

Rather, he appeared composed and smiled at her, though his face slightly twitched as a result of the

lingering feeling he had down there.

“Anything else? Try whatever you want, Roxanne! You’ll never be able to escape me!”

Roxanne’s eyes widened in shock as she heard him say her name.

“H-How do you…?!” She asked him in surprise.

“I hear things… You know?” Asher responded with a confident grin.

“Y-You creep! You eavesdropped on my conversation with Rita?” Roxanne gasped and glared at

Asher, who merely shrugged it off.

“I did. Your words are baseless. There’s nothing wrong in listening in on the conversation of my

soon to be bride anyway.” Asher answered, wondering why Roxanne was upset again.

“It’s no wonder you haven’t gotten a girl all these years! I never said I wanted anything to do with

you in the first place!” Roxanne answered.

“You should wa-“ Asher attempted to respond.

Suddenly, hurried steps were heard and a loud whooshing sound got the attention of everyone

who stood there.

“Lord Alpha, Lord Beta… Lady Rita… There appears to be an urgent matter needing your

concern!” Larry appeared, panting as he spoke.

“He left out my name again! Does he not know it?” Roxanne thought to herself again.

Asher immediately frowned and glared at Larry, obviously upset by his interruption. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What is the matter?” Dax asked Larry, who still tried to catch his breath.

“We have intruders, two of them!” He reported.

“Two intruders? Who are they?” Rita asked.

“More importantly, why did you have to bring it to the Peak here? Can't the Guardians take care of

them, even if the Warriors have mostly gone out?” Dax asked, upset by Larry’s presence in the scene.

“N-No, it’s not that simple. They are two adult women, we have already apprehended them, but

they claim to be here for someone who has been taken from them” Larry replied.

They all stared at each other, getting a foreboding as to who the two intruders were. However, in

order to remove any ambiguity and get a clear, definite picture, Dax went first to ask the question on

everyone’s mind.

“”Who are-“

As Dax was still speaking, Asher clenched one of his fists and turned to Larry.

“Who are they here for?” He asked.

Larry solely gazed upon Roxanne and nodded .

“She’s the one, Lord Asher” He replied.

Immediately, Roxanne had a thought. The possibility of whether someone had come to rescue her

seemed to be the case, and the opportunity that came with this began to dwell on her mind. If only she

could manage to make contact with them, would she be free?
