Chapter 63


    Melissa understood the gravity behind her grandmother''s words and sighed in defeat. There was


    no way she could win against Linda anyway. In the end, she just had to do it. However, this made her

    feel happy and excited. A secret she had to hide from her daughter was now open. She could finally


    reveal a whole lot of things to Roxanne.


    “Alright mom. I ept this responsibility” She replied, looking determined.


    “I assume you’ve alle to a consensus?” Dax asked in order to confirm their decision.


    “Yes. I ept to remain behind and undertake my role as Roxanne''s instructor! I want to be the


    one to help her ‘Awaken''!” Melissa said with resolve.


    Dax let out a slight smile and nodded.


    “So be it. I’ll speak to Lord Asher on your behalf. In the meantime, you should all rx and make


    yourselvesfortable. I have other business to attend to, but my wife will make sure to entertain you


    properly” He said.


    Dax took his leave, putting Rita in charge of the visitors in his stead. As he stepped out and


    embraced the cold winds of winter, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction in how the


    conversation progressed. If only Asher could be more diplomatic in his approach.


    “Speaking of Asher, how do I tell him that one of them is staying behind? Ah… The thought of our


    conversation is already giving me the chills.” Dax thought to himself.


    He was content with the results of the agreement though. Roxanne needed to be with her family


    during this period. After all, this would be a major turning point of her life and would determine


    everything for her in werewolf society.


    To ‘Awaken’ meant to call out one’s inner wolf and be one with it. It is through this ritual that a


    werewolf finally bes able to transform into their wolf alternates and obtain even greater prowess.


    Dax couldn’t help but get excited about this new development.


    “She was strong enough to bruise me and keep up with my speed without Awakening. I wonder…


    Just what kind of beast she’ll be once she bes one with herselfpletely” He smiled to himself,


    dashing away from the front of his house with his superhuman speed, disappearing into the snow and


    wind.


    “So… What now” Roxanne asked her mother and grandmother who smiled at her.


    “There''s something you should know Roxanne… Your fate with that Alpha, Asher… It’s not


    possible to fight it” Linda said to her granddaughter.


    “Oh,e on. Not you too!” Roxanne groaned as she heard those words from her.


    “Listen to me Roxanne… The mate of a werewolf runs even deeper than ordinary ‘love’ in human


    terms. It is a connection between two, driven by destiny and made by fate. The more you struggle, the


    harder it will be for you.” Linda said with a concerned tone.


    “Grandma, Mom, you’ve met Asher. Do you really think he’s the one for me? Really? Him?!” She


    said with a disgusted look.


    “To be honest, I don’t like him one bit…” Linda smiled.


    “Me neither…” Melissa agreed.


    “…But…” They both said.


    “You can''t fight destiny, Roxanne”


    As they said those words, Roxanne couldn’t help but break out a wildugh. She loved it when


    people gave her a challenge and told her she couldn’t do something. It only made her want to do it


    even more.


    “Why don’t you watch me then?” She resolved within herself, ready to fight even the fate that


    seemed to tie her and Asher together.


    “I won’t lose… Not even to destiny!”
