My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 47

　　Can you show me around?

　　“Beta?” Roxanne let out, confused by what Rita said.

　　She was stunned to find out that the man she had fought was none other than Rita's mate, or boyfriend, or husband. The entire culture of these people was confusing for her to begin with. However, after their whole exchange, even though Roxanne still felt a little down, she was also hopeful in a sense. After all, Dax said he would talk to Asher on her behalf. While she didn’t want to rely on the words of such a suspicious stranger, she had no other option, plus he didn’t seem like the type to lie. Also, since he was in a relationship with someone like Rita, she had some confidence in his nature.

　　“Basically, he’s second in command to the Alpha… A deputy, if you will.” Rita explained.

　　“O-Ohh…” Roxanne said, soaking in what Rita said.

　　“He's quite the catch, isn’t he?” Rita said teasingly.

　　“WWW-What are you talking about?” Roxanne protested, flustered by Rita’s sudden topic.

　　“You know, when I first met him, I didn’t like him… Kinda like how you feel toward Asher.” Rita smiled, moving toward Roxanne as she helped her up from the floor where she still remained.

　　Roxanne grabbed her stretched hand and Rita pulled her up. After balancing on her two feet, Roxanne shook her head to what Rita said.

　　“Okay, first of all… Talking like this doesn’t mean I trust you or anything. I still want to leave here no matter what!” Roxanne said with a stern face.

　　Rita merely smiled and nodded in an absent minded agreement.
