My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 2

Oh no, her legs had accidentally hit the protruding root of one of the many trees surrounding her.

Her body crashed into the cold snow, making her feel the harsh embrace of the frost. Her legs

were sore from frostbite and her body throbbed with exhaustion and pain.

How long had she been running? She had no idea. The emotions and sensations she ignored

while she was running on the high of adrenaline began to flood her body. She tried pushing herself but

her body wouldn't respond.

"N-No... Just… a… little... More..." She muttered weakly.

She stretched her hands to reach a non-existent hope of escape, but deep in her heart she knew it

was pointless. Her voice reached no one, her cold and shivering hands were going to share the same

fate.

"W-Why? Why is this happening to me?" She asked herself, still struggling to get her body to

budge.

The strange figure suddenly appeared from above, leaping from the branch of a tree and soaring

through the air as though it was flying. It landed before her in a swift and precise manner.

Roxanne slowly lifted her gaze to see the perpetrator of the chaos and her assaulter. It wasn't

human!

With jet black fur and a crouching figure, it's beastly jaw looked deadly, along with the claws it had

on both hands. The height of what stood before her was not ordinary. It was tall, huge and severely well

built.

The strong musk of the creature danced around her nose. It was that of olives and chestnut, with a

hint of burnt wood. She couldn't get the smell out of her head, she couldn't think of anything else.

"W-What are you..." She mumbled, slowly losing herself to the cold and exhaustion.

The beast appeared to grin, with it's crimson red eyes shining due to the reflection of sunlight. It

stood transfixed in its moment, not uttering a word and merely observing her as she lay helplessly on

the snowy ground.

Her vision grew blurry, her eyes began to close forcefully, taking her to the realm of NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

subconsciousness. She was going to pass out... Entirely at the mercy of a dangerous and deadly

beast... A monster!

She wondered how things turned out the way they did. From the average 19-year-old girl she was,

going to school and the arena, through. Perhaps this was her punishment for saying those mean things

to her mother, or for refusing to let go of the past she missed so dearly. Perhaps this was her fate...

"I've finally found you..."

She suddenly heard the voice of the beast. A dark and incredibly deep tone reverberated the

rougher body. She wondered what those words meant as she slowly drifted away from reality, unable to

respond and incapable of doing much else.

"... You're mine"

Those were the last words Roxanne heard before everything finally went dark.
