My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 101

　　"D-damien"

　　“So…How did it go?” Rita raised her brows with a mischievous smile.

　　“What do you think? We just met with his father… Strange old man if you ask me.” Roxanne commented.

　　“Hold on, you mean… You met John?” Rita asked with surprise

　　“Yeah. Oh, I forgot he’s also your dad. Anyway, we…” Roxanne wanted to further explain, but Rita interrupted.

　　“Oh my, and how was Asher? Did he appear fine? Was he okay with the whole thing? It’s surprising though… To think he would take you there…” Rita muttered.

　　“Really? What’s so strange about that? I mean, it is strange seeing as I still haven’t accepted him and he’s already showing me to his family, but I suppose that’s natural for him to do!” Roxanne stated.

　　“No, I don’t mean that. You see, Asher has a very bad relationship with our father… One can say he hates him!” Rita revealed.

　　“For real?” Roxanne said with surprise.

　　“Come to think of it… He did seem to be on edge back then…” She mumbled, collecting the air that surrounded Asher back when they met John.

　　“Yes. I’m surprised he took you there. Did he tell you why?” Rita asked with curiosity.

　　“Well…” Roxanne laughed awkwardly. She explained how Asher tricked her into going, though she omitted the part of her thoughts on the matter.

　　“I didn’t end up finding out the real reason though.” She added.

　　“Wow, I’m even more surprised you went with him, alone for that matter," Rita commented.

　　“H-Hey! I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself, you know?”

　　“Sure” Rita smirked.

　　“Enough of that, what about you? What have you been up to?” Roxanne quickly changed the topic.

　　“Oh yeah, about that, it has something to do with you, Roxanne," Rita said.

　　“Me?” Roxanne let out in surprise.

　　"Yep! You've completed your Awakening, so you already possess werewolf abilities, but you're still a novice when it comes to that department. You need training, a serious one at that" Rita said.

　　“Y-Yeah… That’s true. I wondered about that too. Mum said it wasn’t her role to train me, even though she was the one who was in charge of my Awakening… I wonder why” Roxanne said.

　　“It is a parent's role to guide their young ones in the path. When it comes to harnessing their wolf aspects though, that’s a different ball game altogether.” Rita explained.

　　Roxanne looked confused about what Rita meant, but the latter explained further to help her friend understand better.

　　“In the entire pack, who do you think knows the most about Werewolves?” Rita asked.

　　“Erm… The elders, right?” Roxanne said.

　　“Yes, that would be the natural response, right? However, they are not able to teach younger, inexperienced ones their knowledge. It is mostly mature wolves that seek counsel from the old ones. It leaves the question... When it comes to the abilities and features of a Wolf… Who is the next best choice?”
