My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 113

Ticket to the price.

[2 Weeks Ago]

“Camilla… Do you know why I have called you here?” Her father asked.

He had summoned her officially, in his capacity as the Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack, and she had

to answer as his subordinate.

“I do not, Lord Benson.” She answered.

That’s right. In his presence, she was not his daughter, but merely another member of his pack.

“I want to give you a special mission, Camila, as my subordinate and as my daughter… Do not fail

me”

She gulped as she heard this. Her father was known to be brutal to those who fell lower than his

expectations. She had also experienced this once or twice in the past, afterward, she failed to repeat

the errors she made.

She listened to the words he said, and while everything sounded absurd, she couldn't question his

judgement.

“Y-You want me to become Lord Asher's mate…?!” She said in surprise.

He nodded.

“B-But how? It isn’t something one can achieve simply by willing it. I have to be chosen by the

moon goddess and bound to him by fate…”

“Silence. Enough with such drivel. Such fairy tales of romantics, devoid of any common sense or

shred of rationality… I refuse to accept it. Listen to me closely, Camilla. Currently, I have received news

that the Wolf King, Asher has found himself a mate. We must act before it is too late. Fortunately, the

woman he picked is an outsider, and she seems to utterly despise him. That means we still have time.”

Alpha Benson said.

“You will go to the Rockwood Tribe, and win over Lord Asher's favour. Find a way to eliminate the

girl he has taken to be his bride, no matter the cost… So long as it doesn’t expose you or the plan”

“B-But father…”

Alpha Benson glared at her, making her shudder immediately and correct her words.

“I-I understand, Lord Alpha…” She said defeatedly.

“Good, make your preparations and leave immediately.” He ordered.

She bowed and took her leave. As she walked out, Benson spoke to her.

"Know that you are doing this, not only for my sake, or yours but for the entire pack. Having you as

the Grand Luna of the entire region will solidify our position among the six Packs. We will have

supreme authority over the others, second only to the Wolf King's.” Benson smiled.

“And most of all, we will become royalty… The highest rank we can attain as a family. Rejoice in

this, my daughter, and fulfil your mission…”

“That is all!”

[The Present]

Camilla thought of the past and wondered how she would go about it. After everything that had

happened, she only had one safe bet, though even that appeared to be filled with dangers she could

hardly comprehend.

Larry.

He was her only ticket to the prize, and she had to complete her mission, no matter what!

Not long after Asher arrived at the scene, he took care of all the Hunters, not sparing a single one.

Once he did this, he carried Roxanne and quickly took her to the cave directly beneath his Alpha © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

mountain, to keep her warm and stable.

The cave had a mystical presence that made sure everything within it was always warm and

soothing and healed any injured, whether of exhaustion or wounds. He placed Roxanne on the bed

there and watched her for a moment. He saw the blood all over her body and winced.

Such an innocent girl… She was forced to take a life. If only he was faster, if only he had realised

sooner, then maybe…

“It's not your fault, Asher” Rita’s voice came from behind him.

She placed her arms around him and higher him from behind. He really needed that. Though was

drenched in blood, so was she, the only difference was that hers contained a mixture of her blood and

those of the Hunters, while Asher only had the blood of the enemies on him.

“Pull yourself together… Your pack awaits your call!” Rita said to him, releasing her embrace.

She was right, he had to remain strong. If he, the Alpha, appeared weak and shaken by this, what

example was he setting for his people?

“You’re right Rita. Thanks... Please look after Roxanne… I'm off!" Asher said, moving to address

his people who were recovering, mourning, and also seeing the few who died.

He steeled himself for what he was about to do… He was the Alpha after all.

Time passed, and Roxanne finally woke up. It took some time to explain to her, but Rita did so.

“A-And? What about the pack?” Roxanne asked with concern.

“We are fine… Mostly… Though we lost about 11 of us” Rita said sadly.

“O-Oh… Roxanne muttered.

Roxanne cried but soon sobered up. She listened as Rita narrated the whole story and the

aftermath. A while after Asher arrived, the Dax followed, and after a period, the rest came too. They

took care of the bodies of the Hunters and properly arranged the deceased of the pack.

Asher was busy handling the situation. As the leader, he had to be strong, so she didn’t get to see

him.

“Asher…” She muttered.

She remembered how he came to her rescue when she was about to pass out and gave a little

smile. They really were bound.
