My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 78

　　Siblings

　　“Camilla, what did you do…?!” Rita said within herself as she stared suspiciously at Camilla, who sat quietly, watching the situation unfold.

　　The air was very heavy, with Roxanne's shocking discovery, Camilla's unknown motive, and Rita's position.

　　“Camilla, why did you…”

　　As Rita was about to question her best friend as to why she told Roxanne the truth, the latter would not let her complete her query.

　　“Just answer me, Rita. I couldn’t care less about what Camilla said. What I care about is what you have to say about it!” Roxanne stated.

　　Rita looked into Roxanne’s passionate eyes and also felt a tinge of guilt seeping within her. It was time to come clean. She knew she had no other choice, but Rita was still scared. Scared that Roxanne would feel too betrayed to want to remain friends with her, scared that she would make Roxanne have second thoughts about the decision she made earlier, and look at her previous actions in a wrong light.

　　Still, she had to say the truth to her. Roxanne was her friend, she wasn’t going to lie, especially when she didn’t know just how much Camilla told her.

　　“It’s true. Asher and I are siblings. We share the same blood, that is the blood of the previous Alpha of the Rockwood Pack. That being said, we have different mothers.” Rita explained.

　　“So it was true… But why didn’t you say anything Rita? We’ve had many chances to talk about Asher, and about you… Yet why didn’t you ever make the connection known to me?” Roxanne croaked, a tinge of hurt could be heard from her tone.

　　“Could you give us the room, Camila?” Rita said to Camilla, with an irritated look.

　　Camilla didn’t budge and merely looked surprised by Rita’s action.

　　“Now, Camilla! I mean it!” Rita emphasised.

　　“Fine, fine…” Camilla sighed, rising from her seat with a dejected look.

　　“Why don't you let her stay? Isn’t she your best friend?” Roxanne scoffed.
