My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 41

　　Roxanne quickly rushed at him and within a second, she closed their distance. This surprised the men quite a bit as he expressed some sort of amazement at this feat. She started off with her usual straight thrust to his face. However, he dodged it easily.

　　“Damn, I thought I could catch him by surprise!” She thought to herself.

　　“She's fast!” He also said this within himself.

　　She launched another quick thrust which was followed by a straight punch from her other hand. He dodged everything and took a step to the side, removing himself from her front line of vision. Quickly, she used her legs to kick him by his side since he was currently out of reach for her arms.

　　He used one of his hands to block the attack, though he felt some of the force.

　　“Such power… Impressive” He said in surprise.

　　Roxanne took a few steps back in retreat when she saw him block her leg, afraid that he might grab onto her feet before she could detach it from his arm. As she focused her gaze on him in order to figure out her next attack pattern, he rubbed his arm where her legs attacked and glanced at it.

　　“This is quite a surprise. I didn’t know you would be this good. It looks like we were right. You are a werewolf.” He said to her,

　　“No, I’m not! I just exercise and train like crazy! Anyone can achieve this level of power if they dedicate themselves enough! Just assuming I’m some sort of beast just because I can hurt you just shows now insane you all are! I’ve had enough of this! Let me go!” Roxanne replied.

　　“Oh, is that so?” The man said with a stoic look, though he felt a bit embarrassed he missed a mark there.

　　“Still, I can’t let you leave. After all, you’re…” He tried explaining.

　　Seeing this as an opportunity to attack, Roxanne quickly dashed to him as he spoke and concentrated her strength into her fist. She launched a very powerful straight pinch at his stomach as she bent to land the hit.

　　“Rita was right after all… You don’t listen” He sighed.

　　He used both of his hands to block himself, just as the punch was about to land on his stomach.

　　The hit made a loud noise as the pressure got transferred into both Roxanne and the man’s body, causing them to both take steps back due to the impact of the force.

　　The man’s expression was of pure amazement as he watched Roxanne's unaltered look and the fire which still burned brightly in her blue eyes.

　　“Impressive, truly!” He remarked.

　　“Tch…” She let out in frustration.

　　“He’s too fast. He reacts to my every attack like he’s not even trying. He’s way better than Coach, and even though my attacks are clearly doing some damage, he doesn’t appear to be fazed by it. This man is stronger than I thought” She thought to herself.

　　In that case, she had better stop holding back. Though she felt insulted for the fact that she had to take him seriously as an opponent, even though he wasn’t doing the same for her, she was desperate to escape. To achieve that, she didn’t care whether she threw away her pride as a fighter and fought all out while his expectations were still low.

　　“I can’t rely on the simple patterns of boxing anymore. I’ll have to go all out!” She decided.

　　There was a secret Roxanne had. She didn’t reveal it to anyone, not even her mother. The only person in her life who knew about it was the coach, and that was because he caught her in the act. Since then, he had been supporting her, but since Friday he stopped unexpectedly. The secret age was her masters and practice of another sport which was even more dangerous than boxing. This was the cause for her escapades at night. The reason she was so occupied and seemingly lethargic during the day. Her other sport and fighting style… Wrestling.
