Chapter 62
For some weird reason, Roxanne didn’t feel any sort of anger or bitterness toward her mother. She
was even angrier when she saw her mother kissing another man, or her mother taking the last cheese
sandwich in the fridge than she was now. Rather, it was the opposite that happened now.
“Thank you for telling me. I finally understand now… What dad meant…” She smiled with a
relieved look.
Melissa was lost for words and tears busted for the even more as she cried uncontrollably in
Roxanne's arms.
It took a while to calm Melissa down, but after the entire drama, the next thing had to take place.
“You should know that Lord Asher doesn’t want you to remain in the pack. It pains me to say, but
you’ll have to leave this place as soon as possible” Dax said.
Melissa and Linda nodded slowly. They knew this much already. Asher allowed them to see
Roxanne, but his position remained unchanged. They couldn’t defy his order, and they also couldn’t
escape with Roxanne. They could only strive to reach an agreement.
“W-We understand…” Linda said.
“But we have a condition!” Melissa said with a firm tone.
“Oh? Let’s hear it” Dax replied.
“Let us remain here, to help guide Roxanne, at least until she ‘Awakens’.” Melissa declared.
Dax sighed upon hearing this.
“I believe I already told you, Rita is an excellent guide and instructor. I assure you, your daughter is
in capable hands” Dax reasoned.
“You are well aware of the customs, aren’t you, Young man?” Linda asked Dax..
Dax nodded affirmatively.
“Then you must understand what it means to undergo ‘Awakening'. It is not a role given to another,
except one's flesh and blood. It does not matter how good your wife is. Tradition demands that her
family guide her on her transition.” Linda explained.
“I am well aware of that fact, but…” Dax argued.
“Roxanne needs us, as her family.” Melissa pressed further.
Dax looked uncomfortable upon hearing this and looked toward Rita for her opinion on the matter.
She nodded in agreement and smiled confidently at him.
“Fine, but we also have one condition. Only one of you can remain here. You may choose among This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
yourselves, but we can only allow one of you to stay” Dax started.
Linda and Melissa nodded with a sad smile. They expected this much, and they were already
prepared for it.
“Then let my mother remain”
“Then let my daughter stay behind”
Melissa and Linda respectively stated their thoughts at the same time.
They both looked at each other, surprised by their answer.
“But mom, the agreement was for Roxanne to learn the truth from you.” Melissa said to Linda, her
face demanding her explanation.
“The situation has changed Melissa. Besides… It is only proper for you to guide her, after all you’re
her mother. This is how it should be, just as it has always been!” Linda said, giving her daughter a
knowing look.
