Those words hit Roxanne like a sledgehammer. He wasn’t the man who brought her here. Was he just like Rita, one of the people serving the so-called Wolf King? She had glared at him, spoken to him, fought with him, and interacted with him with the thought that he was the mastermind behind her entire ordeal. But… The sudden revelation that he wasn’t left her speechless.
“I am merely his subordinate. Asher, my Alpha already sees you as his bride. It is for this very reason that I held back against you despite your desperate attacks against me. I wouldn’t want to damage the future Luna of our pack.” He said.
These words made Roxanne's skin crawl. He was speaking the same nonsense as Rita which made her get even more upset.
“I don’t want any of that! I just want to go home! Don’t I have a choice here?!” She protested with a burning expression in her eyes.
The man looked at her and felt moved within him. He gave a deep sigh, appearing to be considering something before finally speaking.
“Hmmn, now I understand. It all makes sense now that I think about it. Very well, young lady. I will relay your grievances to Asher. Since you do not wish for our company, I’ll tell him” He answered in a calm manner.
Roxanne was surprised by his answer and her face lit up in hope due to his words.
“Y-You will?” She asked expectantly.
“Definitely. You have made a deep impression within my heart, Roxanne. I can not help but admire your fighting spirit. Should Asher intend to have you as his woman, surely he would need to see just what kind of person you are. I will express your feelings to him. However, speaking from my own opinion, the acts you have depicted to me this day has made me even more guaranteed that you are worthy to be the Luna of this pack, and Grand Luna of our tribe.” He said.
“B-But I’m not a…” Roxanne protested.
