My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 100

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.

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 Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

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.
