Besides, she had other things to worry about. Like, who the hell was that?! She didn’t know why, but something about her reminded her of Asher. She had some sort of dignified aura around her, like him. She also possessed the same cold vibe, but unlike him, she masked it with a friendly façade. Roxanne couldn’t explain it, but she knew it was fake.
“Is she also a werewolf? Duh, Roxanne, obviously. How else would she know Rita and be here in the middle of nowhere!” Roxanne thought to herself.
But still…
“Rita is friends with someone like her?” Roxanne asked herself.
“No! She never said Rita is her friend! Besides… I can’t assume anything until I hear from Rita herself. Speaking of, where is she?! Mom too! I didn’t see her boot by the side, that means she’s out too.” Roxanne muttered.
Just as she made up her mind and resolved to go along with the ‘Awakening', her mother and Rita decided to bail on her.
“Talk about bad timing,” Roxanne sighed.
In any case, this gave her more time to think of her decision, though she didn’t want to delve too deeply into it. After witnessing the clashing views of Larry and his father, Lenard, she was able to find her answer. The pack wasn’t a perfect place, and while Lenard was happy with his place, Larry wasn’t. However, they were put into the role by the lack of ability they had in other roles
In essence, they had no talent
They had no control over their roles. It was all decided by fate, just like her ‘mate’ relationship with Asher. Perhaps that was why she could relate with them better, because she knew what it felt like to be put in such a powerless situation.
“Is there no way that everyone can have a role that they are satisfied with… A role they want to do?” She asked herself.
A pack like that would be much better, yet this was the reality of it instead. Roxanne realised that wishing for this was synonymous with wishing for world peace, or desiring to end world hunger… An unachievable goal.
At least, that was with her current capabilities.
“Even if there’s just a chance… I have to try…” She thought within herself.
Despite her good intentions, the harsh truth was that she could never fully understand the situation of the wolves or even help them in any way, unless she became like them. Somewhere within her, she felt she had to do it… And that was enough for her!
From within her room, she heard the door to the house creak, rousing her from her thoughts immediately. She jumped from her bed and hurried to the door of her room, opening it as gently as she could. She peeked through it to make sense of what was happening in the living room before she made her way there.
Her face brightened when she saw Rita enter the house. She quickly came out of her room to welcome her. As she went to the living room, she heard a deafening shriek of excitement.
“Ohhhh!!!! Camilla!!!!!” Rita’s voice climbed, filling the whole room, even reaching Roxanne who was a little way from the living room.
