Chapter 39
“Roxy, listen to me closely. Asher took you for one reason and one reason alone… To be his
mate” Rita said.
“What the he-“ Roxanne let out with perplexity.
“I’m not done Roxy.” Rita cautioned her.
This made Roxanne feel even more annoyed, but she listened nheless.
“A mate is a Werewolf’s other half, our eternal partner, sealed by marriage and bound by love.
However, the most basic criteria for a Werewolf’s mate is that first and foremost… The mate has to be
a Werewolf” Rita exined.
Roxanne heard her words but didn’t understand, or rather she didn’t want to understand. She
refused to ept something so absurd that it made her skin crawl.
Her being a Werewolf? Impossible!
“That’s impossible, what you’re saying makes no sense!” She argued.
“Roxy, It’s the only way to exin this. Lord Asher picked you to be his mate, it is a serious matter
among us Werewolves… Something that is not taken lightly among us. If he picked you, then there’s
no doubt you are a werewolf.” Rita replied.
“You’re ignoring one other option. Maybe your all-powerful Alpha made a mistake. My family is
entirely normal, foreign to this whole wolf concept! You’ve got the wrong girl! I’m no one’s bride! Heck,
I’m just 19! I’m still in High school and I don’t need to deal with this bullshit right now!” Roxanne
responded in angry frustration.
“That’s not possible. Lord Asher would never pick you out of a mere mistake or coincidence. If he
picked you, then it must mean you are the real deal. Besides, I do not know who your family is or their
reasons for not telling you anything about your identity, but I can feel it even within me that you are my
kin” Rita said.
“Besides, as for yourst statement… About age… I was 18 when I met Dax, my mate. I
understand you are still growing and may find it difficult to ept my words or your new reality, but you
soon will Doxy, trust me!” Rita exined calmly.
Roxanne scoffed at Rita’s words and shook her head in disagreement with a look of
disappointment in her eyes.
“You’re crazy! I don’t know why or how I let you talk me into this whole Werewolf nonsense, but I
can see it now… You’re all bonkers here!” Roxanne said, rising from her seat.
“No Roxy, just sit down and listen to me. You are…” Rita stood as well, trying to draw closer to
Roxanne.
“Stay away from me! I can’t believe I actually thought we could be friends. You actually agree with
whoever did this to me? I can''t deal with this anymore” Roxanne said, backing away from Rita.
Rita still tried to speak, but Roxanne clearly wasn’t in the mood for listening. With an intense re
and a determined look in her eye, she spoke with resolve.
“I’m done with all of this! I want to go home… NOW!” Roxanne dered with a frown.
Rita gave her a look which made her realise the truth that she had not seen since she woke up.
The thing Rita was trying to distract her from. Roxanne finally realised that she had been deceiving
herself, thinking she could leave at any time. However, in actuality that wasn’t the case.
“I’m sorry Roxy, but I can’t let you leave.” Rita said with resolve.
Rita moved toward the door and stood a small distance from it, blocking the exit so that Roxanne
couldn’t leave. In essence, Roxanne was trapped!
“Get out of my way Rita. Now! She clenched her fist.
“No Roxy. I can’t… I’m sorry. Let’s talk more. There’s so much I still haven’t been able to exin to
you. Roxy!”
“Don’t call me that! Only my friends call me that, and you’re not one of them!” Roxanne shouted.
This sudden outburst shocked Rita and she took a step back, loosening her concentration. Her
face expressed pain as she looked at Roxanne, showing she was hurt by her words.
While Roxanne felt guilty for her statement, she felt she finally had the window of opportunity now
that Rita’s guard was down. With a quick sprint, she quickly brushed past Rita, who still stood in a stun
as she slowly processed Roxanne’s angry words. She opened the door and faced the front of her to
see the snowy settlement beyond the warm house.
However… What she saw was entirely different, not what she expected at all!
A tall and buff man stood beyond the door and stared at her as she nearly bumped into him when
she attempted to make her escape after opening the door.
He had dark brown colored hair and his deep green blue eyes had a sharp gaze which intimidated
Roxane and made her take steps backward. He had a short, trimmed beard, coupled with a in grey
shirt and dark blue jeans, he appeared to be a man in his early twenties.
He walked into the house slowly, but with a sense of purpose and an aura of control. As he walked
in, Roxanne instinctively took steps back, until she found herself to be some distance from the door and
the man now guarded the ce which guaranteed her escape. He used his hands to slightly push the
door, causing it to close once again, leaving her trapped within the house once again.
He looked around the house and then his eyes rested on Rita, who looked a bit shaken when she
saw him, still affected by Roxanne’s words.
“Rita, what’s going on here?” He asked her
“She isn’t listening to me. I tried to exin to her but she’s quite stubborn. She won’t budge” Rita
said with a downcast expression, walking to the man’s location.
“Who the hell is this guy?” Roxanne asked herself as she red at the man, who also returned the
look.
Rita stood beside him and smiled fondly.
“Roxy, it’s fine. This is the man I was telling you about…”

Roxanne''s eyes immediately bulged as she heard this. In front of her… The dashingly handsome
but fierce looking man, was he Asher?
“So this is him?, he’s the one who abducted me” Roxanne concluded.
