My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 30

She's gone!

“Uhhh….” Roxanne stirred as she opened her eyes slowly.

She felt lightheaded, and a loud ringing seemed to disturb her whenever she tried to open her

eyes.

“She’s finally awake uhn?”

“Should we tell him?”

“No, not yet!”

“But… We have to…”

“Jeez, she’s just regaining consciousness, shouldn’t you at least be more considerate?”

“O-Oh, my bad…”

Roxanne heard this strange exchange as she remained in her lying position, not knowing what to

make of the sounds she heard. They were unfamiliar, yet Roxanne didn’t feel at all bothered to hear

them speak. In a way, it felt soothing as the ringing in her ear slowly declined and she was finally able

to open her eyes slowly.

“Where… Where am I?” Roxanne questioned as she looked around the dark looking area. She

noticed where she slept on a bed, but it wasn’t a familiar one. Everywhere around her looked rocky and

dark, with only little shimmers of glowing rocks and insects to serve as a source of illumination for her.

“You’ve finally opened up your eyes… Can you hear me?” A soothing, feminine voice called out to

her.

Suddenly, she felt a warm feeling on her hand as she felt the skin of another rub on hers. She

turned her face from the unfamiliar terrain and glowing rocks and looked beside her to find… A person?

“Seems like you can” The young looking woman said with a smile.

The mere sight of this lady and the sound of her voice shook Roxanne as she roused herself from

her lying position immediately.

“W-Where… Where am I…?!” Roxanne said with a sense of urgency but winced at the sharp pain

that accompanied her sudden movement.

“Calm down. It’s okay… It’s fine. You’re safe” The young lady who seemed to be the oldest among NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

the three said, though she didn’t seem much older than her.

“I’m… Safe?!” Roxanne muttered.

Suddenly, the memories of her earlier mishap with the strange creature which chased her

appeared in her mind. Cold sweat formed on her skin as she recollected the crimson eyes of the beast

and it’s dark colour.

“N-No… Last I remember I was… Where am I?” Roxanne shouted in a scared and frantic tone.

Her body trembled as she recollected the incident once again. She should have died. Even if the

beast lost interest in her, the cold alone would have killed her within an hour. So why was she here?

Who were these people?”

“Relax, it’s fine now. I understand that you must be very confused, but right now you need rest.

Everything else comes after. You don’t need to be frightened… You’re safe now” The woman covered

Roxanne’s hands with hers as she smiled gently.

“Just rest for now, okay? When you wake up… I’ll answer all your questions' ' She added.

Roxanne didn’t know why, but something about this woman, her voice, her gentle touch and her

warm smile… They made her feel so comfortable and her restlessness seemed to fade away.

She nodded slightly, her tensed muscles relaxed and her head slowly began to feel dizzy. She was

falling unconscious again, but this time she didn’t fear. She felt assured, she felt safe… She fell asleep

with those feelings.

“Impressive as always Lady Rita” One of the two younger looking ladies said.

“Jeez, I also want to learn how to do that. Won’t you teach me Lady Rita?” The other one said.

“As I have said a million times already, you’re not old enough. Besides, it’s not my role to teach

you girls.” The young woman called Rita said with a smile.

“B-But…” They protested.

“Shhh. Our guest is sleeping. Let’s take this outside, shall we?” Rita said, leaving the rocky area as

she gestured to the other two to do the same.

They followed her lead and left the place, leaving only Roxanne behind to sleep in peace and

quiet, oblivious of what was happening or what was to come.
