My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 89

　　Of course, she would, who wouldn't?

　　“That’s why… I wanted to ask you to tell me more about her.” Asher said, looking directly into Melissa’s eyes.

　　“Wait, what?!” Melissa's thoughts erupted.

　　“I clearly lack enough information to be able to fully understand her. If you could tell me more, perhaps J would be better able to relate to her. As it stands now, I still find no fault in my actions. That is why I would like to know what her problem is with me” Asher said to Melissa.

　　“Who the hell is this guy?!” Melissa said to herself.

　　She had so many things she could say to him, or even tell him off, but she had to mind her words. After all, despite everything he was still the Alpha of the pack she was staying in, and the Wolf King of the region. Besides, the fact that he opened up to her like this meant a big deal to him, she couldn’t act impulsively.

　　“So, Miss Melissa, tell me what you know about Roxa-“

　　"No!" Melissa flat-out denied his request.

　　Asher's face expressed shock. He was taken aback by Melissa's response, unable to comprehend her action.

　　“Did you just say… ‘No’?” He asked.

　　“I did!" Melissa responded, meeting him eye to eye.

　　The both of them stopped moving as Asher stared at her with a look of frustration, but she maintained her ground. Her body slowly trembled as she dreaded the consequences of her defying the Alpha's words, but she had to do it. If she didn't, then-

　　“He won’t know the right path to take…” She thought.

　　“What is your reason?” He asked.

　　A smile formed on her face. The perfect question had finally been delivered.

　　“It's simple really. You want to know more about Roxanne… Then the solution lies within your grasp… Ask her yourself!” Melissa said, pointing at Roxanne who was still asleep within Asher's arms.

　　Melissa’s words sank deep into Asher, as he remembered Dax telling him the same thing the other day.

　　“You can just ask her yourself, you know?”

　　Here Roxanne's mother was telling him the same thing. Was that really the only way to go?

　　“I see…” He muttered, turning straight ahead and resuming his match.

　　Melissa smiled and felt satisfied with what she did, though she heaved a sigh of relief that he didn't try anything on her. Despite her first impression of him, he seemed like a calm, reasonable young man.

　　After walking for quite some time, without any word exchanged between them, they arrived at the village and neared Rita's house. Their journey together would soon come to an end.

　　“You'll be leaving the pack today, I assume?” Asher's voice broke the silence once again.
