My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 102

For him to have been able to figure out so much with just smell, how skilled was this person? Was

this the level of ability a warrior possessed? Even she could barely still hang on to her mother's aroma

sifting through the air, yet he could tell this much? Everything he said was spot-on accurate.

“How unfortunate, it looks like we missed each other. If I had been a few hours earlier, we would

have met…” He muttered, turning to look at Roxanne.

“So, what’s your story? Why are you here? Come to learn more about your roots”

“Well, not really… How do I put this…It's quite a long story” Roxanne said, unsure of how to put

her words.

“She's Asher's mate. He found her in her grandmother’s place and brought her here.” Rita

interjected.

Well, maybe it wasn’t so long.

"Wow, for real? Now, isn't that some insane plot twist? Haha, I knew Melissa couldn’t hide you

forever. But to think it was Asher, how hilarious is that?” Damien laughed.

“He’s calling Asher's name casually… This guy isn’t just an ordinary warrior. Who is he? Is he

related to Asher too?” Roxanne thought to herself.

“No, he’s not related to us, if that’s what you’re thinking” Rita quickly cut her thoughts short, as

though she read her mind.

“O-Oh, then…” Roxanne stuttered.

“I assume Melissa has already explained my relationship with her, cleared all the

misunderstanding between us…” Damien said.

“Yeah, she did… But that doesn’t mean I have forgotten what you did” Roxanne smiled.

“Ohhh, so you mean this is the mate Miss. Melissa was talking about… Wow! To think it was

Damien, hehe… What a small world” Rita commented.

“Wait, so let me get this straight… Damien, you’re a warrior in this Pack?” Roxanne said to

confirm.

Damien and Rita exchange glances and then chuckle. They both understood the reasons for their

sudden outburst, leaving Roxanne out of the loop.

“What’s so funny?” Roxanne asked, even more confused than before.

“Oh dear, Roxanne… You're not wrong to say he is a Warrior… But you're still mistaken about one

important aspect. You see, Damien isn’t just any warrior. You’re looking at the chief warrior of our

pack!” Rita announced with a bright gleam.

“Nico way!” Roxanne received an even greater shock.

“I suppose I should introduce myself to you again Roxanne… My name is Damien, Gamma of the

Rockwood Pack!” He smiled.

Gamma of the Rockwood pack

“I suppose I should introduce myself to you again Roxanne… My name is Damien, Gamma of the

Rockwood Pack!”

Roxanne could only drop her jaw in surprise. What were the odds that her mother's mate ended up

being the Gamma, one of the top leaders within the pack?

“Damien is busy with off-Pack missions, so he doesn’t stick around very long. When did you arrive

from your mission?” Rita said, now facing Damien.

“Not too long ago. I actually came here directly. I have something to discuss with Dax… If possible,

also Asher.” He said to Rita, his tone getting more serious.

“Oh? Nothing too serious, I hope.” Rita said.

"Hopefully not… Well, I guess there's no problem with just saying what it's about here. It's about

the Hunters… I can't say any more than that until I've met with Dax”

Rita’s expression changed to a grim look, and a look of fright mixed with anger darkened her face.

“Don't let it get to you too much. It’s not too bad yet. Besides, if we play your cards right, it just

might be good news.” Damien said, placing his hand on Rita’s shoulder.

Rita nodded in agreement and softened her expression. Roxanne was confused about what just

happened. Who were the ‘Hunters’ Damien mentioned, and why did Rita make such a look?

“Anyway, Dax isn’t here yet, you want to wait for him? Or would you rather go look for him?” Rita

asked, shifting the focus from the Hunters.

“Ah, I’ll wait. To be honest, I’m exhausted from the last patrol. It’ll be nice to take a break” Damien

said, venturing to sit down.

“That's great to hear. Your timing couldn’t be perfect. Dinner will be made soon. While we wait,

there’s something important we need to discuss. I was telling Roxy about it before you came” Rita

stated.

"Oh? Do tell." Damien said, relaxing comfortably on his seat.

“It’s about Roxanne's recently concluded Awakening… She needs Werewolf Training.” Rita said.

“I see. So you’d like to propose something to me since the Warriors are in charge of that affair."

Damien replied with a smile.

“You know me well” Rita smiled

“But you should know, right? She has to pass my test first.” Damien said with narrowed eyes.

“She is well aware of that. So, Roxanne… What do you say? Are you up for it?” Rita asked

Roxanne, who was watching the entire thing unfold before her eyes.

“S-Sure, definitely!” Roxanne quickly responded.

"Good. Then let us begin!" Damien said, rising to his feet.

“H-Hold up… Like, right now?” Roxanne stuttered with surprise.

“Yeah, you have something better to do?” Damien grinned playfully.

“What about you being exhausted? Don’t you need to rest?” Roxanne asked.

“Pfft, don’t you worry about me. This won’t take very long. Besides, I doubt I’d need to exert myself

if I faced you”

“Oh no, you didn’t!” Roxanne thought to herself.

"I'll make you eat those words," Roxanne said to Damien with a determined look.

“I look forward to it, sweetheart. Now then, shall we go?” He smiled.

They both stared at themselves, Damien with a condescending smile, while Rita gave him a Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

determined one, ready to make him regret his statement.

“No, no… Chill out, the both of you. You can’t have your fight in this place. Take your whole Aloha

male brawl outside. You're not the one who'll clean up this mess, you know?” Rita interrupted their little

feud.

“Heh, sorry Rita. You’re right. Let’s do this outside.” He said.

Roxanne and Damien both stood opposite each other in Rita's backyard. Since she had quite the

compound, there was enough space at the back for the two to have a sparring match.

“Alright, the test goes like this. You have five minutes. Show me what you can do within that time.”

Damien said.

“Just five minutes?!” Roxanne gasped.

“A werewolf fight takes seconds to complete, unless you’re facing a very difficult opponent, it is

much easier to take them out in one coordinated and precise attack. Besides, I’m only testing your skill

and resolve here. It’s not like we’re in a wrestling match or anything” Damien smirked.

Roxanne was stunned that he knew this. Did her mother tell him? She shook those thoughts from

her head and focused on the fight before her. She had no time to get distracted. Doing so would mean

her loss.

"This won't end up like last time," Roxanne said to him.

“I agree. You’re allowed to use your werewolf powers as much as you want, though I know it won’t

amount to much since you can’t control it well. That’s okay too, it’s part of the training. Also, one more

thing… I’ll also be using mine” Damien said.

His eyes glowed green and Roxanne could feel a different air about him. He had gotten stronger,

her instincts were telling her that. He was currently an unbeatable foe, but so what? She had faced

such opponents before.

“One hit! I just have to land one hit!” She told herself.

“I'll be holding back, so don’t worry and come at me” Damien stated.

Rita presided over the match as a referee and signalled them to start.

“Begin!”

Knowing she was short on time, Roxanne didn’t waste even a split second. She jumped forward to

attack Damien, who just stood casually in front of her, without any form or technique.

“Predictable” He muttered.
