My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 76

　　Why didn't you tell me?

　　“Roxanne, this is Camilla… My best friend, and the daughter of the Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack, our immediate neighbours''

　　“….!!!”

　　Roxanne's eyes widened as she heard Rita utter those words. Not just a friend, but her best friend?

　　However that wasn’t what surprised her the most. She was the daughter of another Alpha!

　　“Doesn’t that make her practically royalty?” Roxanne found herself thinking.

　　No wonder she reminded her of Asher. They both had that superior air around them. Roxanne looked over to Camilla with an intimidated expression. The girl simply returned her gaze with a soft smile, though Roxanne could tell that she was amused by the situation.

　　“It’s nice to meet you Roxanne… Again” Canilla said, walking forward with her hands stretched.

　　“This smug little…” Roxanne muttered underneath her breath, however, given the situation she couldn’t be rude to Rita’s best friend, now could she?

　　“Same here…” Roxanne said, gripping Camilla’s hands softly.

　　She feared if she made her grip tighter and Camilla reciprocated, she would be in need of medical attention.

　　“She is a werewolf after all…”

　　One thing Rita had told her was that the closer one was to the Alpha in the pack chain, the stronger one was. The Alpha is the strongest, followed by the Beta, then the Gamma and so on, leaving the Omega as the weakest. Seeing as Camilla was the daughter of the Alpha, she must be pretty damn strong!

　　Those were Roxanne's thoughts.

　　“By the way, Rita… Where is mom?” Roxanne asked, finally remembering the question that was bugging her for some time.

　　“O-Oh! Miss Melissa went to get some things for you Roxy… She’ll be back pretty late, so you shouldn't expect her anytime soon.” Rita responded.

　　“Something for me?” Roxanne asked, surprised by the situation.

　　“Yes. Since you need some ingredients for your Awakening Ritual, she went to procure them, in the likelihood that you decide to go on with it of course…” Rita replied.

　　“Hold on, you’ve not received your Awakening? How old are you?” Camilla joined in.

　　“Not your business!” Roxanne wanted to say, but she just responded with a glare.

　　“Camilla, Roxanne is not… From around here…” Rita said to her dear best friend before turning back to see Roxanne.

　　“So, have you made up your mind?” She asked Roxanne.

　　“Well… About that…” Roxanne's voice trailed off.

　　“Yes...?” Rita asked with a curious and interested gaze that made Roxanne feel slightly uncomfortable.

　　“I've decided to go along with it!” Roxanne finally blurted out.

　　“Yesss! I knew it! Finally realised that it’s no big deal to strip in front of your mom, right?” Rita smiled while raising her brows in a teasing manner.

　　“Eeew, stop that. You’re being gross! Thanks for reminding me… Urghhh” Roxanne protested before shuddering at the thought of the gloomy fate that awaited her.

　　“What's gross about that? My mother still saw me naked just yesterday.” Camilla commented.

　　Immediately, the room fell silent. Roxanne and Rita slowly turned their faces as they shifted their attention to Camilla, who maintained an innocent smile. Even Rita, known for her weirdness, had a look of shock from Rita's statement.

　　“What the actual fu-“ Roxanne nearly blurted out.

　　“I'm kidding. I’m kidding… Hahaha, I got you there, didn’t I?” Camilla burst out in laughter.

　　Rita joined her as they both enjoyed the not so funny joke. Roxanne watched the two of them in slight horror but still suspiciously stared at Camilla. Somehow she didn’t feel like that was a lie.

　　“Sure… You got me” Roxanne commented dryly.
