My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 38

"So this is him? He is the one who abducted me!"

“W-Whaoh… What a tragic story” Roxanne commented.

Throughout the story, she could feel her emotions welling up. The story touched her deeply that All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

she was left breathless at a point. Finally, after Rita finished the story, she smiled at Roxanne.

“It is indeed… Though we don’t know just how much of it is real since it’s a tale of the past after all”

Rita said.

“Hold up, you mean… That might not have happened?” Roxanne said with disbelief.

“Well, yeah. I mean… How are we to verify the validity of a legend from thousands of years ago?

Other tribes have their own accounts of what actually happened, so we can’t know for sure.” Rita

added.

“O-Oh…” Roxanna muttered.

“Any other questions?” Rita smiled.

Roxanne looked curious, as she thought deeply to find a question she needed to ask. Then

suddenly her eyes widened as she remembered something very important.

“What about the one who chased me? The black Werewolf… Just who is it?” Roxanne asked.

Rita’s face changed. Her usually cheerful and smiling expression turned into doubt and a little bit of

fear.

“You know, don’t you? The identity of the person who did this to me… Who is it?” Roxanne

furthered with determination.

“Roxy, that’s…” Rita said, unsure of what to say.

“Just tell me! I deserve to know, don’t I?” Roxanne said, raising her voice suddenly.

Her tone sounded impatient and agitated, though she quickly realised this and settled herself.

“S-Sorry… It’s just… I… Rita I’m scared…” Roxanne said, looking apologetic.

Rita sighed as placed her hands on Roxanne’s shoulders and gave her a reassuring gaze.

“It’s okay Roxy… I get it” Rita said softly.

She slowly removed her hands from Roxanne’s shoulders and took a deep breath, bracing herself.

“You’re right. I do know the Werewolf responsible for what you went through… The thing is… It’s

far more complicated than you think.” Rita said hesitantly.

Roxanne remained silent as she patiently waited for Rita to finish speaking.

“His name is Asher. You most likely know him by his deep black fur and crimson eyes. But, there’s

something you should know. Asher is… The current Wolf King of Oregon.”

“W-What?!” Roxanne’s eyes bulged as she heard this.

The wolf king, the most powerful werewolf who commanded the respect and fear of the others. He

was a symbol of absolute authority among them. Such an existence was the one who stalked and

chased her? But she didn’t understand. Why? What did she do to attract the attention of such a mighty

beast?

“B-But why? I don’t understand… What do you mean by…” Roxanne said in panic. She was not

breathing hard and fast, remembering the trauma of the wolf’s chase and her desperate escape.

“Roxy, calm down. I’m not supposed to tell you too much since I’m just meant to take care of you

and attend to your every need until the time is due…” Rita said.

“Time is due…? Due for what?” Roxanne asked.

Rita took a slight moment of pause and then stared deeply into Roxanne’s eyes.

“It's due for you to meet him yourself,” She said.

What the hell? Roxanne didn’t know how to feel about the new revelation she just received.

However, suddenly she started piecing everything together. She finally realised the connection between

the people she was with and the wild chase she received the other day.

“So… You didn’t save me from the snow , did you?” Roxanne muttered slowly.

Rita looked at her in a sad manner.

“No, we didn’t. The one who did that was Asher. He brought you down here by himself and told us

to take care of you… We only did as he told us to” Rita revealed.

“That bastard kidnapped me! He stalked my house and chased me. Then he also abducted me?!

And you guys just did as he said, no questions asked… Even you Rita?” Roxanne said in seething

frustration and her tone exhibited betrayal.

“Roxy… It’s more complicated than that. Asher is the Wolf King and…”

“And you have no choice but to obey him, right?” Roxanne said, cutting Rita’s words short

“No, that’s not entirely true. The Wolf king’s command can be challenged by the Alpha, the leader

of the pack in question if they are dissatisfied with his order.” Rita pointed out

“Then why?! How could you allow him to get away with something like this? Why didn’t you

challenge such a thing?” Roxanne answered

“Because Asher IS our Alpha!” Rita answered, raising her voice to counter Roxanne’s, which

surprised her.

This was the first time Rita also raised her voice, so it startled Roxanne a bit. And then her words

struck Roxanne… Asher was their Alpha.

“W-What...??” Roxanne said in shock.

“Asher is both the Wolf King and Alpha of the Rockwood Pack. As such, he has absolute authority

over our pack. We couldn’t refuse him if we wanted to… And to be honest, we don’t want to.” Rita said,

returning to her calm state.

“You… What?” Roxanne responded.

“You don’t understand so many things Roxanne. You’re too impatient for me to explain things to

you properly. It’s more complicated than you realise” Rita said.

“What is complicated in stalking and kidnapping? I nearly died back there!” What do I, a normal

person, have to do with your weird culture in the first place? You’re saying I’m being impatient, but what

else can I be in this kind of absurd situation? You brought a regular human into this whole Werewolf

mess… This is what you get!” Roxanne said, clearly angry.

“Roxy… You’re not a normal human.” Rita said.

As the bombshell dropped, Roxanne stared widely at Rita who had a serious look plastered on her

face.

“What did you just say?” Roxanne asked with a deep undertone.

Rita maintained her stern gaze and her unfazed expression made Roxanne nervous. The intense

gaze she received made her feel an intimidating vibe emanate from the usually charming woman she

had come to know.
