My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 99

　　He wrapped his fingers around hers as well, allowing her to feel his thick and big hands that seemed to envelop hers.

　　They both walked to the village together, and as they walked, though there was silence between them, no words were needed. Even though they didn’t feel the initial jolt like the one they experienced back at John's house, they still felt a connection.

　　As they arrived at the village, the people they met watched as the two of them passed. They showed their heads in respect for Asher, which made Roxanne feel weird. But, she decided to bear with it. They were almost home anyway. Finally, they arrived at Rita's home.

　　“We should part ways here…” Asher said, looking a tad uncomfortable.

　　Roxanne wondered the reason for his sudden bashfulness until he looked down and found out their hands were still glued to each other in a locked embrace.

　　“W-What?!” Roxanne yelped, quickly releasing her hands from his.

　　“That was a close call. What if Rita had seen it? What would she think?” Roxane heaved with relief.

　　Asher didn’t seem to mind, he maintained a stoic and calm face, he was also good at making poker faces.

　　Roxanne placed her hand on the door handle and was about to open it when Asher spoke.

　　“What did you think about today? How was it?”

　　Though he asked with a smooth tone, he had hints of nervousness. This would be the first time he would ask a girl that, or even anyone, period.

　　“Well, I’ll just say this. Today wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It wasn’t five stars, but… You surprised me!” Roxanne said.

　　Without looking at his face to get his reaction, she quickly opened the door to the house and entered before Asher could say anything else.

　　She shut the door hurriedly, making a loud ‘Bang'.

　　Asher smiled, and while he wanted to jump up in the excitement and overwhelming satisfaction, he restrained himself. A sudden thought appeared in his head which made him form a smug look on his face.

　　“I can’t wait till Dax hears about this. Heh…” Asher thought.

　　However, he could already imagine what Dax would respond with. The ‘I told you so' was not a word Dax spared when dealing with Asher as a friend.

　　He was right though. All Asher really needed to do was talk to Roxanne. Was that his father's intention when he asked him to bring her to see him out in the middle of nowhere?

　　“No way… Or could it be…?!”

　　Asher shrugged off those thoughts and decided not to dwell on them too much. He walked away from Rita's front door that evening with a satisfied smile on his face and a calm state in his heart.

　　“What did I just say?” Roxanne asked herself.

　　She had obviously wanted to tell him off and give her usually saucy response, yet when it came down to it, she gave him a sweet response.

　　"Damn it, Roxanne! We decided to make him miserable, didn’t we? What are you doing all of a sudden?” She questioned herself.

　　Fortunately, Rita wasn't home to see in such a state. She remembered how she quickly shut the door on him and blushed.

　　She felt bad about leaving him hanging like that, but she had no choice. She didn’t know what she would have done if he asked her the question she didn’t have an answer to.

　　“Would you like to do this again some other time?”

　　What would she have replied with if he asked her this? She didn’t know yet.

　　“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
