My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 38

　　"So this is him? He is the one who abducted me!"

　　“W-Whaoh… What a tragic story” Roxanne commented.

　　Throughout the story, she could feel her emotions welling up. The story touched her deeply that she was left breathless at a point. Finally, after Rita finished the story, she smiled at Roxanne.

　　“It is indeed… Though we don’t know just how much of it is real since it’s a tale of the past after all” Rita said.

　　“Hold up, you mean… That might not have happened?” Roxanne said with disbelief.

　　“Well, yeah. I mean… How are we to verify the validity of a legend from thousands of years ago? Other tribes have their own accounts of what actually happened, so we can’t know for sure.” Rita added.

　　“O-Oh…” Roxanna muttered.

　　“Any other questions?” Rita smiled.

　　Roxanne looked curious, as she thought deeply to find a question she needed to ask. Then suddenly her eyes widened as she remembered something very important.

　　“What about the one who chased me? The black Werewolf… Just who is it?” Roxanne asked.

　　Rita’s face changed. Her usually cheerful and smiling expression turned into doubt and a little bit of fear.

　　“You know, don’t you? The identity of the person who did this to me… Who is it?” Roxanne furthered with determination.

　　“Roxy, that’s…” Rita said, unsure of what to say.

　　“Just tell me! I deserve to know, don’t I?” Roxanne said, raising her voice suddenly.

　　Her tone sounded impatient and agitated, though she quickly realised this and settled herself.

　　“S-Sorry… It’s just… I… Rita I’m scared…” Roxanne said, looking apologetic.

　　Rita sighed as placed her hands on Roxanne’s shoulders and gave her a reassuring gaze.

　　“It’s okay Roxy… I get it” Rita said softly.

　　She slowly removed her hands from Roxanne’s shoulders and took a deep breath, bracing herself.

　　“You’re right. I do know the Werewolf responsible for what you went through… The thing is… It’s far more complicated than you think.” Rita said hesitantly.

　　Roxanne remained silent as she patiently waited for Rita to finish speaking.

　　“His name is Asher. You most likely know him by his deep black fur and crimson eyes. But, there’s something you should know. Asher is… The current Wolf King of Oregon.”

　　“W-What?!” Roxanne’s eyes bulged as she heard this.

　　The wolf king, the most powerful werewolf who commanded the respect and fear of the others. He was a symbol of absolute authority among them. Such an existence was the one who stalked and chased her? But she didn’t understand. Why? What did she do to attract the attention of such a mighty beast?
