“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.

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.

“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.
