My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 78

Siblings

“Camilla, what did you do…?!” Rita said within herself as she stared suspiciously at Camilla, who

sat quietly, watching the situation unfold.

The air was very heavy, with Roxanne's shocking discovery, Camilla's unknown motive, and Rita's

position.

“Camilla, why did you…” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

As Rita was about to question her best friend as to why she told Roxanne the truth, the latter

would not let her complete her query.

“Just answer me, Rita. I couldn’t care less about what Camilla said. What I care about is what you

have to say about it!” Roxanne stated.

Rita looked into Roxanne’s passionate eyes and also felt a tinge of guilt seeping within her. It was

time to come clean. She knew she had no other choice, but Rita was still scared. Scared that Roxanne

would feel too betrayed to want to remain friends with her, scared that she would make Roxanne have

second thoughts about the decision she made earlier, and look at her previous actions in a wrong light.

Still, she had to say the truth to her. Roxanne was her friend, she wasn’t going to lie, especially

when she didn’t know just how much Camilla told her.

“It’s true. Asher and I are siblings. We share the same blood, that is the blood of the previous

Alpha of the Rockwood Pack. That being said, we have different mothers.” Rita explained.

“So it was true… But why didn’t you say anything Rita? We’ve had many chances to talk about

Asher, and about you… Yet why didn’t you ever make the connection known to me?” Roxanne

croaked, a tinge of hurt could be heard from her tone.

“Could you give us the room, Camila?” Rita said to Camilla, with an irritated look.

Camilla didn’t budge and merely looked surprised by Rita’s action.

“Now, Camilla! I mean it!” Rita emphasised.

“Fine, fine…” Camilla sighed, rising from her seat with a dejected look.

“Why don't you let her stay? Isn’t she your best friend?” Roxanne scoffed.

“Not now Roxanne. I’ll explain everything as soon as she leaves the room.” Rita said with a serious

demeanour.

She had a frown on her face, showing she meant business. Camilla, in contrast, was smiling. This

made Rita look even more annoyed.

“It’s fine. I’ll be waiting in one of the rooms. Fortunately, I still know the way around your home.”

Camilla muttered.

“No. You’ll have to leave this house. I’m no fool Camilla. The distance of any room in this house is

nothing when your wolf ears are involved” Rita kept looking suspicious.

“Jeez, what are trying to insinuate Rita? That I would demean myself to eavesdropping on your

conversation with Roxanne. Is there really anything worth my time in it?” Camilla asked .

“I don’t know… Is there?” Rita eyed.

“Oh? I see. It’s fine then.” Camille resigned, sighing dejectedly. She walked over to where her

boots were hung. They were black, the deep kind.

She wore her boots with ease and smiled once again at the two other young women in the room.

“Just so you know, I only told Roxanne because she questioned my relationship with you and then

Asher. I didn’t think it was that big a deal. Besides, she was bound to find out the connection on her

own soon anyway” Camilla said as she walked out the door.

Rita maintained her stern and unchanged expression, still adamant in Camilla leaving the house.

Roxanne could do nothing but stare at Rita as she did such to her ‘best friend'.

It made Roxanne wonder how far Rita would go when it came to regular friends if she treated best

friends that way.

Finally, Camilla left the house and closed the door behind her.

Rita sighed after she saw Camilla leaving her sight. She used one hand to support herself, placing

it in her hip, while she placed the other on her head as she brooded on matters Roxanne could only

guess.

“Perhaps I was too harsh on her…” She considered it.

However, Rita was sure she made the right call. Camilla didn’t know about Roxanne's engagement

with Asher, and she was not allowed to. It was Asher's business and the affair of the Rockwood Pack

until he decided to make it public. Sending her out was the only way to preserve the information that

would be spilled in her conversation with Roxanne.
