My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 89

Of course, she would, who wouldn't?

“That’s why… I wanted to ask you to tell me more about her.” Asher said, looking directly into

Melissa’s eyes.

“Wait, what?!” Melissa's thoughts erupted.

“I clearly lack enough information to be able to fully understand her. If you could tell me more,

perhaps J would be better able to relate to her. As it stands now, I still find no fault in my actions. That

is why I would like to know what her problem is with me” Asher said to Melissa.

“Who the hell is this guy?!” Melissa said to herself.

She had so many things she could say to him, or even tell him off, but she had to mind her words.

After all, despite everything he was still the Alpha of the pack she was staying in, and the Wolf King of

the region. Besides, the fact that he opened up to her like this meant a big deal to him, she couldn’t act

impulsively.

“So, Miss Melissa, tell me what you know about Roxa-“

"No!" Melissa flat-out denied his request.

Asher's face expressed shock. He was taken aback by Melissa's response, unable to comprehend

her action.

“Did you just say… ‘No’?” He asked.

“I did!" Melissa responded, meeting him eye to eye.

The both of them stopped moving as Asher stared at her with a look of frustration, but she

maintained her ground. Her body slowly trembled as she dreaded the consequences of her defying the

Alpha's words, but she had to do it. If she didn't, then-

“He won’t know the right path to take…” She thought.

“What is your reason?” He asked.

A smile formed on her face. The perfect question had finally been delivered.

“It's simple really. You want to know more about Roxanne… Then the solution lies within your

grasp… Ask her yourself!” Melissa said, pointing at Roxanne who was still asleep within Asher's arms.

Melissa’s words sank deep into Asher, as he remembered Dax telling him the same thing the other

day.

“You can just ask her yourself, you know?”

Here Roxanne's mother was telling him the same thing. Was that really the only way to go?

“I see…” He muttered, turning straight ahead and resuming his match.

Melissa smiled and felt satisfied with what she did, though she heaved a sigh of relief that he didn't

try anything on her. Despite her first impression of him, he seemed like a calm, reasonable young man.

After walking for quite some time, without any word exchanged between them, they arrived at the

village and neared Rita's house. Their journey together would soon come to an end.

“You'll be leaving the pack today, I assume?” Asher's voice broke the silence once again.

His sudden words unnerved Melissa, causing her to nearly miss her breath. She was still quite

edgy around him.

“Yes, I will,” She answered plainly.

He fell silent again as they proceeded further. They finally got to Rita's house and Asher had to

hand over Roxanne to Melissa since he didn't want to enter the house.

Melissa grabbed Roxanne and supported her with her arms while bending to make sure she was

well rested on her. As she was about to open the door and enter the warm abode, Asher's voice came

again.

“This is farewell for now, Miss Melissa, however… I will tell you one final thing before we part

ways…”

“The time wherein you’ll be invited back to this pack isn’t too far off. So, be at ease. You won’t Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

need to wait for long…. That, I promise you” He said to her with a look of resolve.

She smiled and nodded. Despite the clever use of words, Melissa knew what he was really trying

to say. Everything he started could be translated to-

“Roxanne will become my bride, and we’ll invite you for the Bonding Ritual soon… Very soon!”

She couldn’t wait to see if the promise would hold up or not.

“Goodnight Lord Asher, Alpha of the Rockwood Pack, Wolf King of Oregon Woods… And mate to

my daughter, Roxanne. I wish you good fortune” Melissa said.

Asher let out a small smile and nodded. Before Melissa could let out another word, a gust of wind

blew which made her forcefully close her eyes. When she opened them, she saw Asher no longer, he

had disappeared from her line of sight, gone with the wind, into the darkness. Melissa stared fondly into

the dark for some time, before finally deciding to retreat into the warm comfort of Rita's home.

“-Lissa…”

“…Mom…”

“Miss Melissa!”

Suddenly Melissa roused from her deep thoughts and was met with the curious gazes of both

Roxanne and Rita.

“Jeez, Mom… What are you thinking about?” Roxanne said.

“Miss Melissa seems to have a lot on her mind, could it be a guy as well?” Rita grinned

mischievously.

Melissa burst out in laughter after Rita said those words. She was spot-on accurate, after all. Rita

and Roxanne exchanged confused glances and watched Melissa laugh until she finally stopped.

“Well… Something like that.” Melissa responded, to the surprise of Roxanne and Rita.

She wondered though… Just what Asher was up to at the moment.

Asher had a nervous look as he looked at the man in front of him. He felt uncomfortable and his

hands twitched a bit. However, he resolved to perform the task and so he wasn't going to back down

anyway. He was going to do it.

“Yes… Go on…” A deep voice appeared before Asher, causing him to get stirred up even more.

He took a deep breath and called himself. It was now or never. He had to tell this man… The only

man he ever respected and loved, as well as hated more than anyone else.

“I have finally found my Mate… Father…”
