Chapter 66


    Awakening


    “Great! You’re still a virgin!” Melissa beamed.


    Roxanne felt increasingly embarrassed with her mom’s mention of the word, and how it rted to


    her.


    “Just get to the point mom! How does this help me in any way?” She asked impatiently.


    Melissa calmed herself after hearing Roxanne''s tone. She smiled at her ignorant daughter and


    gave her a reassuring look.

    “The Awakening is supposed to take ce at a werewolf''sing of age ceremony. This signifies


    the werewolf is an adult, and will begin to take some responsibilities in the pack. Therefore it is


    expected that all werewolves to go through this ceremony are virgins, since they have note of age


    yet. As untouched vessels, they be pure recipients of the moon''s light.” Melissa exined.


    “So… What you’re saying is that you have to be a virgin to undergo awakening?” Roxanne asked.


    “No, not at all! There have been unprecedented cases where minors engage in sex, resulting in


    them being disvirgined… But, that doesn’t stop the Awakening process. It just makes it longer and


    more painful for the vessel.” Melissa further exined.


    “Painful?!” Roxanne asked, a bit nervous due to what she heard.


    “Yes. The moon''s light expects to find the vessel pure. However, if such a person ends up being


    the opposite, the moon will take it upon itself to cleanse and purify such a person. This is a painful


    process where it seems your body is enveloped by fire. Of course, I have never gone through it, but I


    once knew someone who did. It’s not something I would wish for you” Melissa concluded.


    “Ah, thank goodness I’m a virgin, right?” Roxanneughed awkwardly.


    “Yeah…” Melissa also chuckled.


    There was an ufortable silence in the air as both of them stared at each other. They suddenly


    realised what caused the whole mess to begin with, and Roxanne remembered her mother''s affair with


    the man she saw.


    “Mom, about the guy I found you with… You tried to exin to me before, but I didn’t listen. I’m


    ready to listen now. So tell me what exactly happened.” Roxanne asked her mother.


    Upon hearing this, Melissa sighed. She knew she had to tell her daughter sooner orter, and it


    would be best to reveal it to her now that they were both in a truth streak.


    “His name is Damien, and he’s a werewolf as well.” Melissa began.


    “I kinda had the feeling” Roxannemented.


    “Not only is he a werewolf, but he is also… My second chance mate.” Melissa revealed.


    “What does that mean?” Roxanne asked.


    “You already know who a mate is, don’t you? The partner of a wolf, guided by fate and destined to


    be bound together. That is a mate. Usually, a wolf''s mate only appears once in a lifetime. That is why


    we werewolves take it very seriously. Once a werewolf misses a chance with their mate, they may have


    lost them forever. Refusing one’s mate will only lead to regret in the long run… That is, it is even


    possible in the first ce.” Melissa exined.


    “However, on very rare asions, second chance mates appear. Your father died when you were


    15, and I’m only just 37. Roxanne, do you understand what I’m saying here?” Melissa asked.


    “You mean… You got another mate apart from dad?” Roxanne gasped.


    “Yes. My rtionship with Damien is a very rare urrence that hardly happens even in our entire


    culture. The first time I met him was two years ago, and from that moment we both knew that we were


    meant for each other. But… I just couldn’t do it.” Melissa hesitantly said.


    “Because of me?” Roxanne asked.
