My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 111

“Huff… Huff…” Roxanne breathed heavily.

Blood had already stained her body, but she didn't mind. The red hue dripped from her sharp claws

and fell upon the snowy ground, but Roxanne didn't care for that. Her eyes remained transfixed on the

Hunters.

Currently, they had left everyone else and they all gathered around Roxanne, seeing as the only

major threat left to them. They numbered in dozens, too much for her to care by herself.

She had killed quite a great deal of them, but they still persisted. She was slowly tiring, and her

exhausted state became evident with her strained breathing. Transformation took a great deal of

energy, and even though it wasn’t full, she was in partial form.

She had not eaten anything for a long period, plus she just woke up. Roxanne was nowhere near

her top form, so her stamina was entirely bottom line.

That was supposed to be the case, but unexpectedly, she had held out for an unbelievable amount

of time. Even Rita was surprised by how long she maintained her form. Roxanne stood in front of Rita,

who was still healing from the injuries she had received.

Rita, now in human form, could do nothing but helplessly watch Roxanne defend her while she

healed up.

“Shit, the Wolfsbane is making my recovery slower! I should have been healed by now!” Rita

thought.

Yet, she couldn’t do anything but leave everything to Roxanne. How much longer could she keep it

up? Could she hold out until she fully recovered? Even if she did, Rita wasn't confident she could face

so many Hunters at once, especially when she was still being affected by wolfsbane.

"There are still dozens of them… How did they get there… Just how many are there?"

“Grrrrrrr” Roxanne growled.

"Shoot it down!" One Hunter commanded. Clearly, he was the leader.

He stayed behind the tightly locked formation of the Hunters. Roxanne couldn’t get him without

going through the fodder.

“Huff… Huff..”

She had long passed her limits, and she wasn’t sure why she was still holding out. Everything

looked bleak.

Her head became fuzzy, and she began to lose consciousness. The images in front of her became

blurry, and her body swayed, even though she tried to stay upright.

The Hunters readied their aim and prepared to fire. Any moment from now she would be riddled

with holes and die, was this the end of the very short while she spent with the people she had grown to

love? Roxanne couldn’t think straight anymore.

“Rarhhhh” She raged.

She took hurried steps and slid underneath them as they fired, missing her entirely. Using her

hands and legs, she front-flipped, slashing the Hunters closest to her.

“Uaghhh” They let out in pain.

After she had killed more, she leaped back and felt lightheaded. She crumbled on the floor,

kneeling weakly. Her body wobbled and she could hardly support her body anymore. Her wolf aspects

began to disappear, merging back with her skin as she reverted back to her human form.

“Urrhhhh” She slurred as she began to lose consciousness.

“N-No… Roxanne!” Rita yelled.

The Hunters let out laughs of victory. Yeah, they had finally won.

“Finish her off!” The leader commanded.

Rita watched as they neared her with their guns, trying to stand, but couldn’t. All she could do was

watch helplessly as Roxanne was about to be killed off in front of her.

She shut her eyes in despair and hoped, prayed for any rescue. She knew the capable ones had

gone away, most likely on an expedition to take care of the hunters, she realised that help was too far

away to call… Yet she still hoped for it.

“Please… Anyone, save Roxanne! Save us!” Rita cried.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, like an answer from the gods of legend. A loud, deafening sound

was heard, something strong had made a huge impact on the ground. Rita opened her eyes to see

what caused the sound she heard and the strip g breeze she felt.

Her eyes widened as she saw him, clad in all black, his fur darkening the bizarre background of

white snow and blood. His low growl made Rita's heart tremble as she smiled with relief. He was

here… Her brother, The Alpha of the Rockwood Pack and Wolf King of the entire Oregon woods.

Grand Alpha, Asher!

“Y-You… Came…” Roxanne slurred, drifting to unconsciousness as she saw a blurry image of

Asher.

He turned to face her in his baseline state and nodded slightly. It was funny how this same look of

his had been a symbol of terror to her in the past, and now it was that of hope and salvation.

“I… I always knew… That you… would come…” Roxanne forced as she lost herself to her

weakness.

“Don't worry, Roxanne. I’m here now… You can rest… I’ll take care of the rest!” He declared with

his thick and gruff tone.

She smiled softly and finally passed out

“You did well in holding out for very long, but you can rest too Rita, Dax is on his way, so I don’t

want him to see you in a sorry state.”

“A-Asher…” She said, tears falling from her eyes.

“I've got this, little sister!” He said calmly.

Rita smiled and relaxed her tense muscles, watching her brother as he took on the rest of the

enemies surrounding them. She knew instinctively… They stood no chance!

"Heh, arrogant beast! Everyone, shoot the devil's mutt down!" The leader ordered.

Asher cracked his neck as they all aimed at him.

“Devil's mutt uh? How wrong you are… Right now, I’m no mutt… I’m the devil himself!” Asher's red Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
