My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 75

Besides, she had other things to worry about. Like, who the hell was that?! She didn’t know why,

but something about her reminded her of Asher. She had some sort of dignified aura around her, like

him. She also possessed the same cold vibe, but unlike him, she masked it with a friendly façade.

Roxanne couldn’t explain it, but she knew it was fake.

“Is she also a werewolf? Duh, Roxanne, obviously. How else would she know Rita and be here in

the middle of nowhere!” Roxanne thought to herself.

But still…

“Rita is friends with someone like her?” Roxanne asked herself.

“No! She never said Rita is her friend! Besides… I can’t assume anything until I hear from Rita

herself. Speaking of, where is she?! Mom too! I didn’t see her boot by the side, that means she’s out

too.” Roxanne muttered.

Just as she made up her mind and resolved to go along with the ‘Awakening', her mother and Rita

decided to bail on her.

“Talk about bad timing,” Roxanne sighed.

In any case, this gave her more time to think of her decision, though she didn’t want to delve too

deeply into it. After witnessing the clashing views of Larry and his father, Lenard, she was able to find

her answer. The pack wasn’t a perfect place, and while Lenard was happy with his place, Larry wasn’t.

However, they were put into the role by the lack of ability they had in other roles

In essence, they had no talent

They had no control over their roles. It was all decided by fate, just like her ‘mate’ relationship with

Asher. Perhaps that was why she could relate with them better, because she knew what it felt like to be

put in such a powerless situation.

“Is there no way that everyone can have a role that they are satisfied with… A role they want to

do?” She asked herself.

A pack like that would be much better, yet this was the reality of it instead. Roxanne realised that

wishing for this was synonymous with wishing for world peace, or desiring to end world hunger… An

unachievable goal.

At least, that was with her current capabilities.

“Even if there’s just a chance… I have to try…” She thought within herself.

Despite her good intentions, the harsh truth was that she could never fully understand the situation NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

of the wolves or even help them in any way, unless she became like them. Somewhere within her, she

felt she had to do it… And that was enough for her!

From within her room, she heard the door to the house creak, rousing her from her thoughts

immediately. She jumped from her bed and hurried to the door of her room, opening it as gently as she

could. She peeked through it to make sense of what was happening in the living room before she made

her way there.

Her face brightened when she saw Rita enter the house. She quickly came out of her room to

welcome her. As she went to the living room, she heard a deafening shriek of excitement.

“Ohhhh!!!! Camilla!!!!!” Rita’s voice climbed, filling the whole room, even reaching Roxanne who

was a little way from the living room.

“My, my, you're here? You’re really here! You didn’t tell me you were coming!!!!” Rita continued

excitedly.

“I thought I would surprise you… I suppose that effort was well worth it” The girl responded.

Roxanne didn’t need Rita to tell her with her mouth, clearly she could tell from what she just heard.

Rita and the strange girl were good friends. Roxanne decided to trace her steps back to her room

before anyone could sense she was there.

“Roxanne? Where are you going? Come on over here, let me introduce you to someone!” Rita

said, looking in Roxanne's direction.

“Ah, yes. How could I forget that the one I’m trying to avoid is a werewolf. Of course she would

sense me” Roxanne mused.

Since the jig was up, she decided to just head to the living room and join the party, though she was

aware she would merely be the third wheel.

Once again, as she entered the living room, she could see Rita more clearly and the strange girl,

Rita's friend.

“Come here, come here! Roxy!” Rita called for her, making Roxanne draw nearer.

The girl maintained her friendly smile, however, unlike before, she seemed genuinely happy this

time.

“At least she doesn’t seem to be too bad of a person. She must really consider Rita to be her

friend. So it was just toward me that she was faking it…” Her thoughts went.

Roxanne understood that she might have just been suspicious of her since she cared about Rita.

In that line of thought, she wasn’t necessarily wrong. However, even with all this, Roxanne still wasn’t

entirely at ease.

“I just have to introduce you two!” Rita smiled excitedly.

“I know you two must have seen each other before I arrived, but knowing your personalities, I

know you both must not have exchanged names.” She added with a knowing smile.

She wasn’t wrong.

“Camilla, this is Roxanne… My newly made friend!” Rita said to her old friend.

“Oh? So that’s her name…” Roxanne thought.

“And… Roxanne, this is Camilla… My best friend, and the daughter of the Alpha of the Bloodmoon

Pack, our immediate neighbours''

“…. What?!” Roxanne thought.

Things were certainly more complicated than she had earlier thought.
