My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 102

　　For him to have been able to figure out so much with just smell, how skilled was this person? Was this the level of ability a warrior possessed? Even she could barely still hang on to her mother's aroma sifting through the air, yet he could tell this much? Everything he said was spot-on accurate.

　　“How unfortunate, it looks like we missed each other. If I had been a few hours earlier, we would have met…” He muttered, turning to look at Roxanne.

　　“So, what’s your story? Why are you here? Come to learn more about your roots”

　　“Well, not really… How do I put this…It's quite a long story” Roxanne said, unsure of how to put her words.

　　“She's Asher's mate. He found her in her grandmother’s place and brought her here.” Rita interjected.

　　Well, maybe it wasn’t so long.

　　"Wow, for real? Now, isn't that some insane plot twist? Haha, I knew Melissa couldn’t hide you forever. But to think it was Asher, how hilarious is that?” Damien laughed.

　　“He’s calling Asher's name casually… This guy isn’t just an ordinary warrior. Who is he? Is he related to Asher too?” Roxanne thought to herself.

　　“No, he’s not related to us, if that’s what you’re thinking” Rita quickly cut her thoughts short, as though she read her mind.

　　“O-Oh, then…” Roxanne stuttered.

　　“I assume Melissa has already explained my relationship with her, cleared all the misunderstanding between us…” Damien said.

　　“Yeah, she did… But that doesn’t mean I have forgotten what you did” Roxanne smiled.

　　“Ohhh, so you mean this is the mate Miss. Melissa was talking about… Wow! To think it was Damien, hehe… What a small world” Rita commented.

　　“Wait, so let me get this straight… Damien, you’re a warrior in this Pack?” Roxanne said to confirm.

　　Damien and Rita exchange glances and then chuckle. They both understood the reasons for their sudden outburst, leaving Roxanne out of the loop.

　　“What’s so funny?” Roxanne asked, even more confused than before.

　　“Oh dear, Roxanne… You're not wrong to say he is a Warrior… But you're still mistaken about one important aspect. You see, Damien isn’t just any warrior. You’re looking at the chief warrior of our pack!” Rita announced with a bright gleam.

　　“Nico way!” Roxanne received an even greater shock.

　　“I suppose I should introduce myself to you again Roxanne… My name is Damien, Gamma of the Rockwood Pack!” He smiled.

　　Gamma of the Rockwood pack

　　“I suppose I should introduce myself to you again Roxanne… My name is Damien, Gamma of the Rockwood Pack!”

　　Roxanne could only drop her jaw in surprise. What were the odds that her mother's mate ended up being the Gamma, one of the top leaders within the pack?

　　“Damien is busy with off-Pack missions, so he doesn’t stick around very long. When did you arrive from your mission?” Rita said, now facing Damien.

　　“Not too long ago. I actually came here directly. I have something to discuss with Dax… If possible, also Asher.” He said to Rita, his tone getting more serious.

　　“Oh? Nothing too serious, I hope.” Rita said.

　　"Hopefully not… Well, I guess there's no problem with just saying what it's about here. It's about the Hunters… I can't say any more than that until I've met with Dax”

　　Rita’s expression changed to a grim look, and a look of fright mixed with anger darkened her face.

　　“Don't let it get to you too much. It’s not too bad yet. Besides, if we play your cards right, it just might be good news.” Damien said, placing his hand on Rita’s shoulder.

　　Rita nodded in agreement and softened her expression. Roxanne was confused about what just happened. Who were the ‘Hunters’ Damien mentioned, and why did Rita make such a look?

　　“Anyway, Dax isn’t here yet, you want to wait for him? Or would you rather go look for him?” Rita asked, shifting the focus from the Hunters.

　　“Ah, I’ll wait. To be honest, I’m exhausted from the last patrol. It’ll be nice to take a break” Damien said, venturing to sit down.

　　“That's great to hear. Your timing couldn’t be perfect. Dinner will be made soon. While we wait, there’s something important we need to discuss. I was telling Roxy about it before you came” Rita stated.
