My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 115

　　Let us celebrate Christmas!

　　It had never been done before.

　　The Rockwood pack, no, even the other packs of Oregon woods… None of them had done anything of the sort before.

　　“We want to celebrate Christmas!” Roxanne declared to Asher.

　　He looked at her with a stunned look as surprise and confusion were evident on his face.

　　After Roxanne managed to convince Rita about her idea, she knew that it was only a pipe dream if she couldn’t convince the one at the top of the food chain, the person who made all the decisions in the pack…. Asher.

　　She and Rita quickly went to Asher's place, at the top of the Rockwood cave mountain, where Asher stayed to watch over his people.

　　He was surprised to see her, his melancholic and brooding face lit up as he made eye contact with her. They hadn’t seen each other since… Well, since he rescued her. Asher had been too worried to see her, especially after realising how devastated she would be after the chaos. But here she was, in front of him. She had a smile written all over her face. Was she so happy to see him? He felt the same way, but…

　　“Why are you here?” He asked

　　Then he told him the reason she came to see him… Celebrating Christmas!

　　“W-Wha…?!” Asher said in confusion

　　It wasn’t because she missed him or anything or that she wanted to comfort him, or that she was worried about him, or that she wanted to thank him… It was for Christmas.

　　“I have this amazing idea, Asher! I know we just went through a great tragedy, but we can’t continue like this. If we leave things as they are now, the spirit and morale of everyone will plummet greatly!” Roxanne spoke.

　　"Roxanne is right, we need something of joy that shows hope. The pack needs now more than ever, a reason to laugh!" Rita added.

　　“Laugh?! Heh, are you out of your mind? Don’t you see the devastation that was caused? Yet, you are looking for laughs, that’s unbelievable.” Asher shook his head.

　　"But Asher, do you prefer how things are now? The way everyone is so depressed and miserable. It's okay to mourn, but we need to pull ourselves together. Please, Asher!" She pleaded.

　　He looked at her with a perplexed expression. He still didn’t understand what she was talking about. People had died, his people! Wasn’t the natural thing to do at this point mourning and sadness? Yet, she wanted a different reaction. He couldn’t comprehend it.

　　Yet, the look on her face showed seriousness and resolve. She desperately wanted this, for reasons unknown to him. Why?
