My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 98

　　Mr Almighty Alpha

　　“Roxanne, just listen to me…” Asher said calmly, appearing before Roxanne in a flash.

　　“Damn werewolves and their super speed!” Roxanne thought to herself.

　　She had forgotten about Asher's identity as even a werewolf above werewolves. Of course, he would catch up to her in no time at all.

　　“I don’t want to hear it, Asher. I just want to go home.” Roxanne said not even looking at him.

　　Asher wanted to press on, but he restrained himself. As an Aloha, he had his pride to uphold. So far he had only successfully brought down his prestige in front of Roxanne, but what did that achieve? Nothing.

　　“Fine. But you should know that you’re going the wrong way” Asher told her.

　　Roxanne paused immediately she heard this and stared blankly at the cast space in front of her. She slowly turned her head to him and gave him a forced smile.

　　“Which way is the right one then?” She asked.

　　Asher turned away and ignored her question, walking on his own.

　　“This little…” Roxanne glared.

　　“Hey! I asked you a question!” Roxanne spat angrily

　　Asher smiled and kept walking away from her. With the tables now turned, he didn’t need to go out of his way anymore. Just like clockwork, Roxanne started to chase after him.

　　In the end, Roxanne had to let go of her anger and pride so as not to get lost in unfamiliar territory. Her feelings of hurt dissipated and a new one took over. Relief. She was relieved that she was mistaken about Asher's intentions when he said to visit his father.

　　He didn’t want to get rid of her, he couldn’t even if he wanted to, and from the looks of things, he didn’t.

　　She was happy he looked desperate and wanted to chase after her. A smile of satisfaction formed on her face. Even now, as he was giving her the silent treatment, she knew he wanted her, he was just acting up.

　　The childish way he tried to get back at her seemed so cute that Roxanne had to laugh. She didn’t know the exact moment it happened, but she was already in love with him. But she wasn’t about to let him have his way with her. She was still plenty mad about his earlier behaviour and she wasn’t about to forget it anytime soon.

　　“Good. I’ll make you regret abducting me and put you through as much trouble as I can. Just you wait Asher, I’m going to make your life a living hell!” Roxanne smiled with satisfaction.

　　After walking with Asher for some time, she was finally able to see familiar territory. She smelled the air, and it gave her a nostalgic feel. Finally, she could see the village.

　　"Looks like I don't need you anymore!" Roxanne said, running ahead of Asher, who looked flustered by her sudden actions.

　　“H-Hey!” Asher called out for her but quickly restrained himself.

　　He decided to just watch from behind as she ran to the village. With a wide smile, he observed her movements, how her hair flailed about as she took her hurried steps, and how her buttocks shook to the rhythm.

　　"Control yourself, Asher…" He coughed, turning his eyes away.

　　He still sneaked a peek through. When he did, he found out that Roxanne had already stopped. She was looking at him with a knowing smile.

　　“What were you looking at?” She smiled in a teasing manner.

　　He had been caught, but as Alpha, he couldn't do anything to sully his status.

　　“You must be imagining things. I was just observing my mate. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.” Asher responded with a confident smile.

　　“Heh, pervert.” Roxanne smiled.

　　“What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and leave this pervert behind!” Asher replied, exchanging her smile with a grin of his own.

　　Roxanne was stunned when she heard Asher say this. She never expected him to make such a statement or even make such a smile. Was it only her who had changed? No, it seemed that Asher was going through changes of his own as well.

　　“Hahahahaha! No way! Why would I let you keep watching my back like a creepy stalker! No way's happening" She replied with her witty statement.

　　Her eyes expressed that she awaited his comeback. What would he respond with?

　　Asher’s heart was beating fast. He couldn’t believe what was happening. What did he just do? Had he just made a joke? It wasn't exactly fun for him, but Roxanne laughed…

　　What was this strange feeling he had? With a warm feeling in his chest, he was truly happy. His face formed a smile without him being aware of it.

　　“So, what would you prefer I do?” He replied.

　　Roxanne pursed her lips, placing her index finger on her chin as though considering the best option to take.

　　“Come over here. We’ll walk together!” Roxanne decided.

　　What? Did she want him by her side? Compared to the past this was great progress. Did that mean she finally accepted him as her mate or was she up to something else?

　　“No, I can’t fall for it. Besides, I’m the Alpha. She can’t command me to perform an action” Asher resolved, he wasn’t moving.

　　“Jeez, you must really like stalking, don’t you?” Roxanne shook her head in slight disgust, she was kidding though.

　　“W-Wha…?!” Asher's tongue was tied at this point. He couldn’t find an appropriate response in time.

　　“Fine!” Roxanne said.

　　She ran back to him, surprising Asher. After she reached him, she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward her. His eyes widened at the feeling of her soft and warm palm, caressed by her smooth fingers.

　　“Happy now? I’m here, Mr. Almighty Alpha” Roxanne said.

　　Asher felt waves of embarrassment welling up from within him. With her sudden action, he felt like his heart would escape from his chest.

　　“Let's go!” She smiled.

　　“W-Whatever…” He feigned nonchalance, but no one was buying it.
