Chapter 77


    After theughter died down, Rita told Roxanne to keep Camipany while she went to


    freshen up. After all, she had gone through a lot all day. This made Roxanne realise that she also


    needed to do the same, but even that didn’t count as an excuse to keep her out of the duty Rita


    imposed on her.


    “Yes ma’am” Was all she could say.


    “So… How did you and Rita be friends?” Roxanne asked, trying to ease the weird


    atmosphere that hovered around the room.


    “Oh, that? Our family has always had close contact with the Rockwoods.” Cami started.


    “Rita and I have been friends since childhood. Our parents have known each other since childhood


    as well. You can just call us family friends, you know?” Cami said with a smirk.


    “Ohh, wow.” Roxannemented.


    “You sound surprised by that. Is it so strange that our family goes back?” Cami smiled.


    “No, no. It’s not that. It''s just… I thought Alpha families would be the close ones. Like, say… Your


    Bloodmoon Family, right? And the Rockwood Alpha family…” Roxannemented.


    Her eyes narrowed more as she stared into Cami''s. Since Cami was closely linked to the


    Alpha status, perhaps she could grant her some clues into Asher and what his deal was. She needed


    information after all.


    “Oh? You mean Asher, don’t you?” Cami asked.


    “Yes, I suppose that’s his name, right? The Leader of this Pack…”


    Roxanne tried to act ignorant of the fact, though she made it obvious that she knew more than she


    was letting on.


    Cami ignored this failure on her part and went on to talk along that line anyway.


    “You don’t know? I guess it''s no surprise since you just met Rita. I suppose I’ll tell you… Rita


    belongs to the same Alpha family as Asher'''' Cami stated.


    Roxanne’s eyes widened as she heard this. Did this mean what she thought it did? Rita and


    Asher… The connection between the two… They were actually rted by blood?!


    “They are…?!” Roxanne said with a shocked expression.


    “They’re siblings, obviously.” Cami retorted.


    As Cami uttered those words, Roxanne’s head rang. Everything slowly began to make sense to


    her. The reason she was living with Rita of all the people in the vige… She had thought it was


    because it was the Beta house, but to think it was actually because of Rita''s connection to Asher.


    Also, why Rita was ced in charge of her… Why Rita didn’t refer to Asher as Lord, unlike the


    other werewolves, even Dax. And finally, why Rita was always so nice to her, wanting to get as close to


    her as possible. Everything was for the reason of her connection to Asher. She was Roxanne''s


    prospective Sister inw.


    As Roxanne still processed what Cami said, Rita entered the living room with a smile stered


    on her cheek, her usual look.


    “I’m back, girls! Did you miss me?” Rita asked with a high pitch.


    Her voice startled Roxanne, bringing her from her deep concentration. She slowly turned and


    looked at Rita with an unbelieving stare. Now that she had the idea of Asher being rted to her, sheN?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    tried to match her facial features to his.


    “No good… They look nothing alike.” Roxanne thought within herself.


    She wasn’t wrong.


    Their resemnce was nonexistent. Rita''s brightly colored hair, eyes andplexion in


    “Roxanne? What’s wrong? You’re staring at me weirdly…” Rita said with a curious look, but


    Roxanne didn’t answer.


    “Awwn. Don’t tell me you’re still mad about keeping Camipany. I just thought you two would


    make pretty interesting conversations.” Rita furthered, cing her hand on Roxanne''s shoulder.


    Roxanne''s body twitched as she felt the sensation of Rita’s handsnd on her shoulder. Her mouth


    quivered, filled with emotions she could not clearly decipher. Being honest with herself, she felt


    betrayed that Rita did not tell her anything, making her seem like a fool. However, she was willing to


    listen to Rita''s side, something she had learned as she became friends with her.


    “Rita must have a good reason for this, right?” Roxanne convinced herself.


    “Rita… Why didn’t you tell me you are rted to Asher… Being his sister for that matter…” She


    asked.


    Rita’s eyes bulged as soon as she heard this and her hands shook, slowly distancing itself from


    Roxanne''s shoulder.


    “H-How did you…?!” Rita said with shock.


    Immediately, her eyes darted toward Cami who sat quietly and observed the situation unfold.


    She didn’t need any answer from Roxanne to realise what had happened.


    “Cami… You… What do you think you’re doing?!” Rita thought to herself, giving her best friend a


    deep re.
