My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 121

　　[MEANWHILE]

　　The party ended with a bang. A lot of people passed out outside their homes due to their drunken state. Of course, the snow wouldn’t kill them since they were werewolves, but it still wasn’t good to sleep outside in such a vulnerable state.

　　Asher and the few sober ones left among the pack carried the drunk ones to their homes. Afterward, he went to his special place… The top of the village. He had his own house there, of course, it was more like a mansion compared to the rest of the pack member’s homes, though compared to others it was lacking in plenty.

　　He had never invited Roxanne in since that had never gotten intimate before this Christmas night. He couldn’t sleep. He could only watch over the quiet village as a solitary figure.

　　“Heh, now I feel like a stalker” He joked to himself, remembering what Roxanne used to call him.

　　His mind went back to her. This restless state of his heart. It was as though he was excited, performing some sort of activity that was rigorous. He knew this feeling didn’t come from him. It had to be from Roxanne!

　　He could feel her… Just like when she was in danger that last time. Why was she so excited? Was it due to his question? Was she troubled about it? Maybe he came off too strong. Had he asked too soon?

　　“No… This feeling… She isn’t brooding. She’s excited. She must feel the same way! She’s going to say yes!” Asher said to himself, stifling his excited laughter.

　　“Silly girl, why is she keeping me in suspense then?” He muttered.

　　If this feeling was real, and she really was going to say yes, then that meant Roxanne wasn't currently sleeping. His heart suddenly skipped, making him grip his chest.

　　She was definitely awake. And Asher wanted to see her now more than ever. Yes, he would hear her answer now. He glanced at the moon above him and smiled. From its position, he could tell that the time was past midnight.

　　“It’s technically morning already! I’m ready for your answer Roxanne!” He grinned.

　　Like a child, he jumped from his heights with a playful laugh filled with excitement and vigour. Racing through the village, it didn’t take him long to get to Rita's house. He stood in front of her door for a moment.

　　What was he going to do? Would he knock? He had to! He had to see Roxanne. Rita and Dax wouldn’t mind anyway. It was no longer a secret to anyone that they were a couple.

　　He knocked hard on the door.

　　No response.

　　He did so again. Still no answer

　　This time he banged at the door, and he could hear a faint sound coming from within, but since the house structure prevented the senses of a Werewolf from gaining hearing access within, he couldn’t make out the sound properly.

　　As he was about to knock again, the door finally opened. It was Dax, half-naked, with only his underwear left on him. He looked over at Asher with an impatient expression, feeling uncomfortable by his friend's stare.

　　“Dude… What are you looking for here so late?” Dax muttered, scratching his head.

　　“Oh, am I interrupting something?” Asher smiled with a curious gleam in his eyes.

　　Dax appeared flustered by this, and for the first time, he noticed a painfully noticeable bulge in Dax's boxer shorts.

　　“Ehem… Why are you here, Asher? Come one, man… This situation just got awkward. You really need me to spell it out for you?” Dax said, rubbing his head even harder, looking embarrassed.

　　“Well, I am sorry for my unwelcome visit. I just want to see Roxanne” Asher smiled.

　　“W-Wha…?! See her? Bu-“ Dax looked surprised by Asher's statement.
