My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Asher recognized the voice well and looked behind him to meet the person's gaze.

"Dax..." Asher muttered.

"If Roxanne finds out you've been watching her like this, I wonder what she'll do." He smiled as he continued.

"It's not like anyone is going to tell her... Will they?" Asher said with narrowed eyes.

"Sigh. It won't be me, that's for sure. But just stop it, come on... It creeps me out too. That's my house you're stalking, you know?" Dax sighed with a look of letdown. "Quit whining about it. More importantly, why is the mother still here? I believe I made it clear that I want them gone!" Asher said, standing up from where he sat.

"Well, about that... Her mother wants to help her with her Awakening. I consented." Dax reported.

"Why? Isn't Rita a skilled Instructor? Why can't she guide Roxanne instead?" Asher asked.

"It's better if her mother does it. Roxanne is not only from a different Pack, but also from a foreign region. We might not be suitable to guide her through the transition. Besides, it's only right for her mother to be the one to do it." Dax explained.

After listening to Dax's words, Asher called himself and heaved a sigh.

"Fine. I understand your decision. So? How long will they be taking?" He asked.

"Considering Roxanne's mother needs to rest and also needs to fully explain to her what exactly she is, it'll take at least a day to do that. Awakening can only occur under the light of a moon. So, I estimate she should be done with it by tomorrow. After that, we also have the aftermath. In conclusion, I would say three days." Dax said.

"Okay then. Keep me updated." Asher replied, walking away from the cliff.

"It already seems like you're keeping yourself updated. Are you sure you need my help?" Dax said with a playful smile.

"Oh please, Dax. Not this again. Is it wrong for me to observe and watch over my mate?" Asher asked

"I'm just saying... If you really want to watch over her that badly and observe her. You'd have better luck just getting closer to her. That's a front row seat to her life" Dax offered.

"No, thanks. As you have clearly seen, she doesn't want anything to do with me. But it doesn't matter. Once her Awakening is complete, we'll be able to move on to the next phase." Asher smiled. "But that is only if you have her consent. It has to be mutual after all." Dax answered.

"Oh, but it will be. Once she has Awakened as a werewolf, she'll be able to sense it as well, the feeling I have whenever I am close to her. Once she begins to sense it as well, there will be no more room for doubt that she is my mate." Asher answered.

Dax sighed and shook his head. It seemed his Alpha would never concede to the truth of the situation. Even if Roxanne Awakened and finally connected with Asher's wavelength, there was no definite chance she would still accept him. However, Dax didn't want to start explaining that to Asher.

"If you say so..." He said.

"Then I trust you'll keep watch over her." Asher said, dashing away.

"Asher... I love and respect you man, but... Sometimes you can be such an idiot" Dax muttered to himself. He walked over to the edge of the cliff and watched his house from a distance. "How can he be so comfortable watching from here?"

"First things first Roxanne. I want to clarify something with you quickly." Melissa said with a tone of seriousness

"Okayyyy" Roxanne replied, nervous by her mom's serious approach.

They were already in Rita's home, but Rita had given them space, leaving the house for some business. Roxanne and Melissa sat opposite each other and the atmosphere was not as lively as before. "Are you still a virgin?" She asked.

The question made Roxanne's brain go mute at first as she tried to process it. Finally, after some seconds she did and her reaction was that of unbelievable shock and reservation. Her face flushed with embarrassment as her cheeks became red.

"Whaaaat?! Mom?!" She said with disbelief, weirded out by the strange question.

Melissa bobbed her head with a light laugh, amused by her daughter's reaction. But this was a serious matter, one where she absolutely needed to know.

"I'm serious Roxanne. I need to know. Are you a virgin or not?" Melissa repeated.

The question's effects did not wear out the second time as Roxanne was embarrassed to hear such a question directed at her.

"Y-Yeah... I still am!" She finally said, struggling to let out the words.

"Ah, good. That's a relief... The rest should be easy then." Melissa said with a smile.

"Uh?!" Roxanne became confused.

What did her virginity have to do with Awakening as a Werewolf?
