Chapter 67


    Melissa nodded slightly, affirming her words.


    “I avoided him and tried to move on, but Damien is a very persistent person. Slowly, he began to


    close the gap between us, and as much as I tried to fight it, I couldn’t! The ‘Link'' between the two of us


    wouldn’t allow me” Melissa sighed.


    “Link?”


    “Yes. You don’t know this yet since you haven’t Awakenedpletely as a Werewolf. A Link is


    something both werewolves have between each other if they are mates. In such a situation where two


    mates find themselves, a Link is formed. This link can not be severed and both werewolves, even if


    they wish for it not to happen, will always feel drawn toward another. The attraction keeps building up


    and intensifying until they finally ept each other and ‘Bond’.” Melissa said.


    “W-Whoah!!! Is that really true?” Roxanne said in disbelief.


    “It is. I can say it for sure. I tried my hardest to resist Damien since I didn’t want to put you through


    any more emotional distress. But, no matter how hard I tried, it just kept getting stronger. The time


    when you saw us would be our first time doing something like that together. I was all alone in the house


    and I couldn’t control it anymore. It turns out it was the same for him as well. I called him and he came


    over… It wasn’t long before you arrived as well…” Melissa exined.


    “W-Wow! That is… Wow. I don’t know what to say about this” Roxanne said, stunned beyond


    words.


    Silence once again prevailed in the house, then a thought shed through Roxanne''s mind. She


    looked at her mom, who still looked guilty, and asked.


    “So, what do you n on doing now?”


    Melissa looked at Roxanne''s bright smile and finally understood. Her daughter wasn’t against her


    rtionship with Damien to begin with. She was most likely just angry that she had hidden it from her.


    “Well, immediately our lips touched, we Bonded already. There’s no way I can deny our connection


    now. After I finish training you and return to the house, I think I’ll call him over. It’s time I stopped


    running away from this like a scared teenage girl” Melissa smiled.


    “Hey, why do I have a feeling you are talking about me? Besides, this Damien guy is nothing like


    Asher, is he? He doesn’t kidnap you or stalk you or grab your mother by the neck, does he?” Roxanne


    said in protest.


    “No. No he doesn’t” Melissaughed at that daughter’s words.


    “But, you know… There is a reason you were chosen to be his mate. I don’t understand it either,


    and I can’t say I fully support it. But, if destiny wills it, you will end up together… That’s all I know”


    Melissa concluded.


    “Well, here’s to destiny screwing itself, because I’m never even going to consider hooking up with


    a control freak like that guy” Roxanne gagged as she thought of Asher''s face.


    She had to admit though, that when she saw him for the first time, she felt an undeniable attraction


    to him. Her body immediately reacted to his presence despite her initial disposition. She was so


    surprised by how she reacted, almost as though she had been smitten by him. It took every ounce of


    self control she had to suppress the feelings that raged within her. When he used his hands to touch


    her shoulder and ced his fingers on her chin, she felt she would pass out at any moment. Since she


    had not felt such an emotion in her entire life, she was so overwhelmed by it and panicked.


    However, she wasn’t a fighter for nothing. She would rather swallow poison than give him the


    satisfaction of seeing her so flustered. At thest minute, she quickly changed the reaction she had on


    her face and reminded herself of every evil thing he did to her. By collecting her anger, she shoved


    down the foreign feelings she was having, and gave rise to the ones she had before meeting him.


    Of course, his shocked face was amusing to her, giving her more confidence to rage against him.


    But even after all that, she still felt a lingering attachment and longing to see his face again. Was this


    the destiny crap her mother was talking about? And she said it would get stronger once she Awakened.


    This made her start to have reservations concerning actually going on with the whole thing, but she


    was never one to back away from a fight. Giving up now without trying would be like admitting defeat to


    Adrian.


    “Besides, I’m not going to lose my one chance of bing who I really am thanks to some stupid


    and arrogant werewolf king.” She thought to herself, already picturing Asher''s smug face.


    “Tch, that guy…” She expressed.


    Looking back at her mother, who merely gazed upon her patiently, she smiled and nodded.


    “I''m ready then. Let’s get this thing started already, shall we? When do we begin?” Roxanne


    asked.


    “Not so fast Roxanne! I need to rest tonight and so do you. The Awakening process is a very


    exhausting period. You’ll need all the strength you can get. After all, it’ll be your first transformation.”


    Melissa said.


    “You know, I actually thought wolves could only transform on a full moon…” Roxanne expressed.

    “That much isn’t false… But there are exceptions to that rule.” Melissa stated.


    “The Awakening is just one of them”
