Chapter 121


    [MEANWHILE]


    The party ended with a bang. A lot of people passed out outside their homes due to their drunken


    state. Of course, the snow wouldn’t kill them since they were werewolves, but it still wasn’t good to


    sleep outside in such a vulnerable state.


    Asher and the few sober ones left among the pack carried the drunk ones to their homes.


    Afterward, he went to his special ce… The top of the vige. He had his own house there, of course,


    it was more like a mansionpared to the rest of the pack member’s homes, thoughpared to


    others it wascking in plenty.


    He had never invited Roxanne in since that had never gotten intimate before this Christmas night.


    He couldn’t sleep. He could only watch over the quiet vige as a solitary figure.


    “Heh, now I feel like a stalker” He joked to himself, remembering what Roxanne used to call him.


    His mind went back to her. This restless state of his heart. It was as though he was excited,


    performing some sort of activity that was rigorous. He knew this feeling didn’te from him. It had to


    be from Roxanne!


    He could feel her… Just like when she was in danger thatst time. Why was she so excited? Was


    it due to his question? Was she troubled about it? Maybe he came off too strong. Had he asked too


    soon?

    “No… This feeling… She isn’t brooding. She’s excited. She must feel the same way! She’s going


    to say yes!” Asher said to himself, stifling his excitedughter.


    “Silly girl, why is she keeping me in suspense then?” He muttered.


    If this feeling was real, and she really was going to say yes, then that meant Roxanne wasn''t


    currently sleeping. His heart suddenly skipped, making him grip his chest.


    She was definitely awake. And Asher wanted to see her now more than ever. Yes, he would hear


    her answer now. He nced at the moon above him and smiled. From its position, he could tell that the


    time was past midnight.


    “It’s technically morning already! I’m ready for your answer Roxanne!” He grinned.


    Like a child, he jumped from his heights with a yfulugh filled with excitement and vigour.


    Racing through the vige, it didn’t take him long to get to Rita''s house. He stood in front of her door for


    a moment.


    What was he going to do? Would he knock? He had to! He had to see Roxanne. Rita and Dax


    wouldn’t mind anyway. It was no longer a secret to anyone that they were a couple.


    He knocked hard on the door.


    No response.


    He did so again. Still no answer


    This time he banged at the door, and he could hear a faint sounding from within, but since the


    house structure prevented the senses of a Werewolf from gaining hearing ess within, he couldn’t


    make out the sound properly.


    As he was about to knock again, the door finally opened. It was Dax, half-naked, with only his


    underwear left on him. He looked over at Asher with an impatient expression, feeling ufortable by


    his friend''s stare.


    “Dude… What are you looking for here sote?” Dax muttered, scratching his head.


    “Oh, am I interrupting something?” Asher smiled with a curious gleam in his eyes.


    Dax appeared flustered by this, and for the first time, he noticed a painfully noticeable bulge in


    Dax''s boxer shorts.


    “Ehem… Why are you here, Asher? Come one, man… This situation just got awkward. You really


    need me to spell it out for you?” Dax said, rubbing his head even harder, looking embarrassed.


    “Well, I am sorry for my unwee visit. I just want to see Roxanne” Asher smiled.


    “W-Wha…?! See her? Bu-“ Dax looked surprised by Asher''s statement.


    "I know, I know… It''ste. But I can feel it within me, Dax, she’s awake. She’s excited. She must


    also long to see me too. You understand, don’t you?” Asher said in a hushed tone, trying to suppress


    his excited voice.


    “No. No, I don’t understand… Because Roxanne is not here…” Dax tly responded, appearing


    confused.


    “What?” Asher was stunned by Dax''s words.


    “I-I thought she was actually with you, you know… Hooking up and stuff… It is the season after


    all…” Dax chuckled slightly.


    However, from the look on Asher''s face, he could tell that it was no time for jokes. If she wasn’t


    with Asher, and she wasn’t with them… Where was she?


    “Don''t mess with me, man. Just let me see her for a second” Asher said as he waved off what Dax


    said as a joke, trying to get past him.


    “Asher… She''s not here!” Dax said, raising his voice.


    Suddenly Asher heard a creak from within the house. His shocked expression quickly made a


    smile. It was Roxanne, right? It had to be! She had felt him too and decided toe out of her room.


    “Roxanne! It’s me, Asher. I’m here for your answer now!” Asher shouted, hoping his mate and


    lover would pop her head out and bless him with her lovely smile.


    He was wrong.


    “Roxanne? Asher? What are you talking about?..? Dax, who are you talking to? You’re neglecting


    your Lil baby, you know…” Rita came out of the corner with only sheets wrapped around her body, her


    cleavage and a great deal of skin exposed.


    Immediately she saw Asher, her face turned pink as she screamed.


    “Asher?!! W-What are you doing here?! I''m sorry, I’m so sorry!!!” She ran away in embarrassment,


    shutting her door tightly.


    Dad watched as his wife scurried back into their room in panic and chuckled slightly. Rita was cute


    when she was embarrassed.


    He turned to Asher to see his friend''s reaction. After all, he just saw his sister almost naked.


    However, Asher was no longer in front of him.


    “Huh? That’s weird. Not even a goodbye…” Dax muttered to himself.


    "Maybe he''s ying hide and seek with Roxanne and thought she would be hiding here. Hehe,


    who knew you could also y such a lovers'' game, Asher. Rita and I should also incorporate that one


    of these days," Dax thought to himself as he shut the door of his house, ready to resume his night


    sessions with his mate.


    “Awoooo!” He howled excitedly.


    Asher panted and his heart raced as he ran through the vige, searching for traces of Roxanne.


    She wasn’t with Rita, so perhaps she was stuck somewhere in the vige, somewhere she couldn’t get


    out of? Asher searched everywhere in a sh, he couldn’t find her. Perhaps she was lost…? What


    direction did she go to? Asher sniffed the air, increasing the range and efficiency of his senses to the


    limits. A lot of different scents filled that air. After all, a party just concluded, so various scents danced


    around his nose. However, since Roxanne was his mate… Hers would definitely be the most special.


    “I found it!” He dered.


    He ran and chased the scent, following it to where it would take him. He ran to the edge of the


    vige, not stopping. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he finally stopped. He looked in front of him, an


    expression of disbelief covered his face.


    “N-No way… Don''t tell me… She… She left…?!” Asher muttered as thest trace he felt of her


    was her footsteps and scent departing from the vige.


    His face fell as he walked away from the scene, not looking back. Roxanne had left the vige,


    was this her answer? Did she never really love him?


    Myriads of thoughts and doubts yed through his mind… He didn’t know how to respond to them,


    but he was sure of one thing… Roxanne wasn’t here anymore.


    With that conclusion in his head, he went to the storehouse and brought out arge crate of the


    stored nectar he had reserved for his personal use…. He didn’t want to think, he didn’t want to feel…


    He couldn’t bear them.


    He just wanted to drown in it all.
