Chapter 87


    I have finally found my mate... father


    “I… I want to see Asher? Me?! Impossible!”


    Roxanne did not ept the feelings that nudged her. She loved her newfound self, the new


    sensations that flowed through her, her new perception of everything around her. However, there was


    one thing she would never ept… Feelings for the man she despised.


    “There’s no way” She denied it with a passion.


    Rita and Melissa both exchanged knowing nces and watched as Roxanne resisted her new


    urge.


    Slowly, she began to calm down, and before long the feelings left her. Roxanne inhaled deeply and


    exhaled.


    "So… Where were we?" Roxanne asked, giving the two women who stared at her a bright smile,


    totally putting her just-concluded episode behind her.


    “You know, you can’t fight it forever…” Rita said.


    “…”


    Roxanne took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her heart felt Rita was telling the truth, but that


    didn’t mean she had to ept it. Until Asher proved himself to be someone she didn’t know him as


    already, she would never ept him.


    “Is the food ready?" Roxanne changed to the subject.


    Fortunately, it was.


    Rita brought out the dish for the afternoon. Piping hot chicken soup with cream scones by the side


    and Roxanne''s favourite chicken pie. There were other items prepared on the table, mostly greens. As


    she took in the sweet-smelling savour of the mean, Roxanne moaned in ecstasy.


    After Rita was done setting the table, Roxanne thanked her for the meal and stared at the foodid


    on the table with a passionate look.


    “Time to dig in!” She licked her lips.


    After they were done having their meal, Roxanne suddenly remembered Cami, the strange girl


    from the previous day.


    “By the way, Rita, where’s Cami? I haven’t seen her around since yesterday afternoon. You said


    you were going to see Ash… Him, right?” Roxanne quickly corrected herself, realising that whenever


    she heard the name of her so-called ''mate'', her heart skipped a beat.


    “Oh yeah, about that… She''s staying over at the guest ce.” Ritamented.


    “There’s a guest ce? Why did you bring me here then?” Roxanne eximed.


    “Do I really need to answer that?” Rita smiled


    This made Roxanne not bother, remembering the connection between Rita and her situation.


    “In any case, it seems she’ll be here for quite a while. I don’t really know the details though… She

    had a private talk with Ash- Ahem, I mean… ‘Him''.” Rita said in a mock tone.


    “Just stop it!” Roxanne said with an embarrassedugh.


    As they both burst outughing, with Melissa just being a spectator to the two girls, she thought


    back on her encounter with Asher the previous night. Surely, Roxanne was right. There was no way he


    could arrive at that exact moment if he wasn’t watching from afar, the timing was too perfect. Asher


    really was stalking Roxanne… Or was he?


    Melissa''s initial impression of Asher wasn’t too good. In fact, she couldn’t still say she trusted him


    entirely. However, the young man she had met that night was different from the one who grabbed her


    neck and gave a deathly re.


    He had a mncholic presence, contrary to his usually oppressive aura. His eyes didn''t appear to


    be stern and intimidating, rather cool with a hint of loneliness. She wondered whether she, as well as


    her daughter, had made the mistake of misunderstanding Asher. Despite his actions, somehow he still


    granted Roxanne free reign, allowing her unrestricted movement throughout the vige.


    Also, so far his people all loved and respected him. They lived in happiness and peace, something


    that would never be seen if Asher was a tyrant. This made Melissa even more confused about Asher''s


    true personality and intentions. She still worried for her daughter, but it had been proven time and time


    again that Roxanne didn’t need her to worry.


    Roxanne would have to forge her own path, find her own answers, and live her own life. The only


    thing she could do as her mother was to offer guidance when necessary. Besides, her time here with


    Roxanne wasing to an end. Any moment now, she would leave the vige. She wouldn’t be able to


    watch over her daughter anymore. However, unlike before she had a level of assurance within her


    heart. She remembered Asher''s words to her after he came to carry Roxanne.


    “You had better keep your promise… Young Alpha… For my daughter’s sake!” Melissa thought to


    herself.
