My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 77

　　After the laughter died down, Rita told Roxanne to keep Camilla company while she went to freshen up. After all, she had gone through a lot all day. This made Roxanne realise that she also needed to do the same, but even that didn’t count as an excuse to keep her out of the duty Rita imposed on her.

　　“Yes ma’am” Was all she could say.

　　“So… How did you and Rita become friends?” Roxanne asked, trying to ease the weird atmosphere that hovered around the room.

　　“Oh, that? Our family has always had close contact with the Rockwoods.” Camilla started.

　　“Rita and I have been friends since childhood. Our parents have known each other since childhood as well. You can just call us family friends, you know?” Camilla said with a smirk.

　　“Ohh, wow.” Roxanne commented.

　　“You sound surprised by that. Is it so strange that our family goes back?” Camilla smiled.

　　“No, no. It’s not that. It's just… I thought Alpha families would be the close ones. Like, say… Your Bloodmoon Family, right? And the Rockwood Alpha family…” Roxanne commented.

　　Her eyes narrowed more as she stared into Camilla's. Since Camilla was closely linked to the Alpha status, perhaps she could grant her some clues into Asher and what his deal was. She needed information after all.

　　“Oh? You mean Asher, don’t you?” Camilla asked.

　　“Yes, I suppose that’s his name, right? The Leader of this Pack…”

　　Roxanne tried to act ignorant of the fact, though she made it obvious that she knew more than she was letting on.

　　Camilla ignored this failure on her part and went on to talk along that line anyway.

　　“You don’t know? I guess it's no surprise since you just met Rita. I suppose I’ll tell you… Rita belongs to the same Alpha family as Asher'' Camilla stated.

　　Roxanne’s eyes widened as she heard this. Did this mean what she thought it did? Rita and Asher… The connection between the two… They were actually related by blood?!

　　“They are…?!” Roxanne said with a shocked expression.

　　“They’re siblings, obviously.” Camilla retorted.
