My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 39

　　“Roxy, listen to me closely. Asher took you for one reason and one reason alone… To become his mate” Rita said.

　　“What the he-“ Roxanne let out with perplexity.

　　“I’m not done Roxy.” Rita cautioned her.

　　This made Roxanne feel even more annoyed, but she listened nonetheless.

　　“A mate is a Werewolf’s other half, our eternal partner, sealed by marriage and bound by love. However, the most basic criteria for a Werewolf’s mate is that first and foremost… The mate has to be a Werewolf” Rita explained.

　　Roxanne heard her words but didn’t understand, or rather she didn’t want to understand. She refused to accept something so absurd that it made her skin crawl.

　　Her being a Werewolf? Impossible!

　　“That’s impossible, what you’re saying makes no sense!” She argued.

　　“Roxy, It’s the only way to explain this. Lord Asher picked you to be his mate, it is a serious matter among us Werewolves… Something that is not taken lightly among us. If he picked you, then there’s no doubt you are a werewolf.” Rita replied.

　　“You’re ignoring one other option. Maybe your all-powerful Alpha made a mistake. My family is entirely normal, foreign to this whole wolf concept! You’ve got the wrong girl! I’m no one’s bride! Heck, I’m just 19! I’m still in High school and I don’t need to deal with this bullshit right now!” Roxanne responded in angry frustration.

　　“That’s not possible. Lord Asher would never pick you out of a mere mistake or coincidence. If he picked you, then it must mean you are the real deal. Besides, I do not know who your family is or their reasons for not telling you anything about your identity, but I can feel it even within me that you are my kin” Rita said.

　　“Besides, as for your last statement… About age… I was 18 when I met Dax, my mate. I understand you are still growing and may find it difficult to accept my words or your new reality, but you soon will Doxy, trust me!” Rita explained calmly.

　　Roxanne scoffed at Rita’s words and shook her head in disagreement with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

　　“You’re crazy! I don’t know why or how I let you talk me into this whole Werewolf nonsense, but I can see it now… You’re all bonkers here!” Roxanne said, rising from her seat.

　　“No Roxy, just sit down and listen to me. You are…” Rita stood as well, trying to draw closer to Roxanne.

　　“Stay away from me! I can’t believe I actually thought we could be friends. You actually agree with whoever did this to me? I can't deal with this anymore” Roxanne said, backing away from Rita.

　　Rita still tried to speak, but Roxanne clearly wasn’t in the mood for listening. With an intense glare and a determined look in her eye, she spoke with resolve.

　　“I’m done with all of this! I want to go home… NOW!” Roxanne declared with a frown.

　　Rita gave her a look which made her realise the truth that she had not seen since she woke up. The thing Rita was trying to distract her from. Roxanne finally realised that she had been deceiving herself, thinking she could leave at any time. However, in actuality that wasn’t the case.
