    Asher stepped out of the house at this point and walked slowly to Roxanne''s location.

    “Eh? Isn’t it to break the Mate bond that exists between Asher and I?” Roxanne asked.


    “Ah?!” John looked confused.


    “You know, as the previous Alpha and father of Asher, he told me you could cancel our


    ‘engagement’.” Roxanne emphasised.


    Asher made a guilty look, refusing to look anywhere near Roxanne as he moved his face away


    from her sight.


    It took a while for John to understand what Roxanne meant by her words, and when he finally did


    he wouldn’t help himself.


    “Buahahahahahaha!!!” He burst outughing.


    Roxanne was taken aback by the old man''sughter, but kept quiet while he enjoyed himself.


    “Oh, Asher… I didn’t know you had it in you to make jokes like this. Still, haven''t you gone too far


    on this one?” John retorted.


    “What are you talking about?” Roxanne asked with confusion.


    “Oh, don’t you get it? He lied to you, most likely so you coulde here.” John continued tough.


    “T-Then, that means…” Roxanne said, ncing at Asher, who only looked away.


    “Yep, he lied to you!” John revealed.


    “I don’t have any power like that. Besides, as a former Alpha, I have no real authority within the


    pack. As you can see, I’m living way out here… I''m sorry, I can’t help you, youngdy… Though I can


    understand why you need it” Heughed even more.


    “Asher, what he said… Is it true?” She questioned.


    “Yes, he is right. I lied to you, but it was the only way I could…” Asher said, returning her gaze as


    he tried to exin.


    Roxanne''s palmnded on Asher''s cheek. For the second time, she had used her hand to assault


    his face. The only difference between this time and thest, was that while the previous time was due


    to her anger when he grabbed her mother, this time she did it because she was hurt… Severely hurt.


    The aching in her heart wouldn’t stop and she could feel the pain of betrayal, as though something


    forced her chest. She would normally never have such a feeling, but she wondered why she was


    reacting this way. Then she stopped wondering, she knew why.


    She couldn’t deny it after all. She was already developing feelings for Asher, the pain she felt now


    was evidence of that fact.


    “Asher, you piece of shit!” Roxanne frowned.


    “I want to go back… Now!”


    “Hold on, just calm down and listen to me…” Asher tried to exin.


    Roxanne was not in the mood for that though.


    “If you don’t take me now, I’ll be going on my own. It’s your choice!” Roxanne said.


    She turned away from both John and Asher and walked away from the house, retracing her steps


    back.


    “I hope you’re happy… I shouldn’t havee to you” Asher muttered, ring at John.


    “Hey, I never told you to lie to her. I just said to bring her here. Besides, let’s hope you won’t eat


    back those words.” John smiled.


    “Tch”


    “Come back here tomorrow, I’ll tell you what you want to know. In the meantime… You should


    really go after her. She’s your mate, isn’t she?” John said.


    He didn’t want to ask, but his father had a point. He quickly left his father’s presence and ran after


    Roxanne.


    As John watched Asher go, he smiled.


    “Look at him go, heh… Good luck with this one, Asher”
