My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 33

　　“Good morning. You look well” A sonorous voice came from behind her.

　　Roxanne looked back and finally saw the owner of the warm hand and a familiar face. She was one of the people Roxanne met when she first gained consciousness, the leader of the three ladies.

　　“Y-You are…” Roxanne muttered, dazed by the beautiful person standing in front of her.

　　Rita, the woman standing before Roxanne, had long blonde hair, which flowed down her back. Her fair face was without any blemish, smooth and fair. She had a cheerful look and her eyes glowed with a golden glimmer. Her lips seemed glossed, though it could be natural.

　　“You’re a lively one, aren’t you? Up on your feet already.” Rita said with a slight chuckle.

　　Roxanne felt stunned by Rita’s bright nature, but her troubled heart didn’t allow her to appreciate her kind words.

　　“This isn’t funny. Where the hell am I? You said you’d explain everything once I came to, well… Here I am” Roxanne said impatiently.

　　“Calm down Roxanne. I know what I said, but you also need to settle down” Rita said to her with a knowing look.

　　Roxanne’s tensed body loosened a bit as she had a look of guilt, regretting her earlier outburst. For all she knew, these people might have rescued her from the cold death that awaited her, yet she was being so suspicious of them. And even the woman before her, she seemed nice and friendly, yet all she gave in exchange were harsh words.

　　“S-Sorry…” Roxanne mumbled apologetically.

　　Rita smiled with a look of maturity and understanding. She tapped Roxanne’s shoulders and gestured for her to follow her lead.

　　“Come with me. Let’s get you settled in” Rita said, leading her away from the area she was in.

　　Rita took her to one of the cottages she came across when she had earlier taken her walk. It looked different from the others, bigger and more prestigious. The colour had a brighter tint of brown and the wood used for it’s structure looked sturdier than the rest. There was also a compound made of wooden stakes, similar to the cave, but smaller. She opened the door and went in, assuring Roxanne to do the same.

　　“It’s fine. This is my place.” She said with an encouraging look.
