My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 69

　　Silence once again prevailed in the house, then a thought flashed through Roxanne's mind. She looked at her mom, who still looked guilty, and asked.

　　“So, what do you plan on doing now?”

　　Melissa looked at Roxanne's bright smile and finally understood. Her daughter wasn’t against her relationship with Damien to begin with. She was most likely just angry that she had hidden it from her.

　　“Well, immediately our lips touched, we Bonded already. There’s no way I can deny our connection now. After I finish training you and return to the house, I think I’ll call him over. It’s time I stopped running away from this like a scared teenage girl” Melissa smiled.

　　“Hey, why do I have a feeling you are talking about me? Besides, this Damien guy is nothing like Asher, is he? He doesn’t kidnap you or stalk you or grab your mother by the neck, does he?” Roxanne said in protest.

　　“No. No he doesn’t” Melissa laughed at that daughter’s words.

　　“But, you know… There is a reason you were chosen to be his mate. I don’t understand it either, and I can’t say I fully support it. But, if destiny wills it, you will end up together… That’s all I know” Melissa concluded.

　　“Well, here’s to destiny screwing itself, because I’m never even going to consider hooking up with a control freak like that guy” Roxanne gagged as she thought of Asher's face.

　　She had to admit though, that when she saw him for the first time, she felt an undeniable attraction to him. Her body immediately reacted to his presence despite her initial disposition. She was so surprised by how she reacted, almost as though she had been smitten by him. It took every ounce of self control she had to suppress the feelings that raged within her. When he used his hands to touch her shoulder and placed his fingers on her chin, she felt she would pass out at any moment. Since she had not felt such an emotion in her entire life, she was so overwhelmed by it and panicked.
