My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 51

　　Alpha calls for his bride.

　　Roxanne and Rita walked around the village and as they did, while her initial goal was to play along temporarily and feign interest, Roxanne started to enjoy the tour. Seeing a different culture and lifestyle out in the woods felt intriguing to her. The curious gaze of people suddenly disappeared and they started to look at her with a form of kinship.

　　Rita took her to talk to some other women, she played with some children, she heard stories from the teenagers. Slowly, she began to enjoy herself. However... She couldn’t allow that.

　　“Focus Roxanne! These people abducted you! You have to stay focused on the goal” She told herself.

　　So, as the tour proceeded, she used her eyes to scan the area, looking for prospective escape paths, or any vehicle she could hijack to make her way out of the foreign region.

From the way she spoke to Dax, she wanted to leave vehemently. Asher, with this in mind, would place her under even closer supervision. This went against her new plan to play it safe. But…

　　“That bastard…” Roxanne growled, clenching her fist.

　　She just couldn’t pretend as she heard his name. The one who took away her freedom, the culprit behind everything. Her head lit up with fury and her heart churned with her death and anger which she had tried to lay dormant.

　　“Relax Roxanne” Rita said, noticing the change in Roxanne's mood.

　　“Good job Larry, I can tell you ran nonstop from our Rockwood Peak to deliver this message.” Rita said to the man in front of her
