My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 69



Silence once again prevailed in the house, then a thought flashed through Roxanne's mind. She looked at her mom, who still looked guilty, and asked. "So, what do you plan on doing now?"

Melissa looked at Roxanne's bright smile and finally understood. Her daughter wasn't against her relationship with Damien to begin with. She was most likely just angry that she had hidden it from her.

"Well, immediately our lips touched, we Bonded already. There's no way I can deny our connection now. After I finish training you and return to the house, I think I'll call him over. It's time I stopped running away from this like a scared teenage girl" Melissa smiled.

"Hey, why do I have a feeling you are talking about me? Besides, this Damien guy is nothing like Asher, is he? He doesn't kidnap you or stalk you or grab your mother by the neck, does he?" Roxanne said in protest.

"No. No he doesn't" Melissa laughed at that daughter's words.

"But, you know... There is a reason you were chosen to be his mate. I don't understand it either, and I can't say I fully support it. But, if destiny wills it, you will end up together... That's all I know" Melissa concluded.

"Well, here's to destiny screwing itself, because I'm never even going to consider hooking up with a control freak like that guy" Roxanne gagged as she thought of Asher's face.

She had to admit though, that when she saw him for the first time, she felt an undeniable attraction to him. Her body immediately reacted to his presence despite her initial disposition. She was so surprised by how she reacted, almost as though she had been smitten by him. It took every ounce of self control she had to suppress the feelings that raged within her. When he used his hands to touch her shoulder and placed his fingers on her chin, she felt she would pass out at any moment. Since she had not felt such an emotion in her entire life, she was so overwhelmed by it and panicked.

However, she wasn't a fighter for nothing. She would rather swallow poison than give him the satisfaction of seeing her so flustered. At the last minute, she quickly changed the reaction she had on her face and reminded herself of every evil thing he did to her. By collecting her anger, she shoved down the foreign feelings she was having, and gave rise to the ones she had before meeting him.

Of course, his shocked face was amusing to her, giving her more confidence to rage against him. But even after all that, she still felt a lingering attachment and longing to see his face again. Was this the destiny crap her mother was talking about? And she said it would get stronger once she Awakened. This made her start to have reservations concerning actually going on with the whole thing, but she was never one to back away from a fight. Giving up now without trying would be like admitting defeat to Adrian.

"Besides, I'm not going to lose my one chance of becoming who I really am thanks to some stupid and arrogant werewolf king." She thought to herself, already picturing Asher's smug face. "Tch, that guy..." She expressed.

Looking back at her mother, who merely gazed upon her patiently, she smiled and nodded.

"I'm ready then. Let's get this thing started already, shall we? When do we begin?" Roxanne asked.

"Not so fast Roxanne! I need to rest tonight and so do you. The Awakening process is a very exhausting period. You'll need all the strength you can get. After all, it'll be your first transformation." Melissa said.

"You know, I actually thought wolves could only transform on a full moon..." Roxanne expressed.

"That much isn't false... But there are exceptions to that rule." Melissa stated.

"The Awakening is just one of them"
