My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 82

Roxanne obeyed. She took off her Panama’s and put on a more conducive outfit for the cold. After

all, the ceremony was going to take place outside, in the cold. After she wore her very insulated coat,

they both proceeded to the living room to get their boots and exit the house.

From the looks of things, Rita and Dax we’re most likely asleep. This made Roxanne curious about

the time.

“It's 11:09” Melissa answered when Roxanne asked her.

The Awakening ceremony was to be held at midnight. Calculating the time it would take for them to

reach the site of the event, and set everything up, they were right on schedule.

“Okay, Roxanne. Are you ready?” Melissa asked.

Roxanne nodded with determination.

This wasn’t the first time she would steal away in the middle of the night. The inky difference

between what she did in the past was that this time she wasn’t alone, she was with her mother. Oh,

and also the fact that she previously went for wrestling, unlike this time where she was going for a ritual

that would turn her into a wolf.

They left the house and ventured into the far end of the village, to the woods. Since it had to be a

segregated place, they decided to move even further from the settlement. They also needed high

ground, a place closer to the sky where the moon's brilliance could radiate more on her.

Roxanne stared at the sky and watched the milky white circle in the sky. She felt like it followed her

wherever she went, and while she found it to be a little creepy, she couldn’t help but smile at the

comfort of it.

They finally arrived at high ground, a hill just further in the woods. It was already a cleared area,

which made Roxanne assume that this was a site regularly used by the other members of the pack for

their own Awakening.

“Now then… Let us begin.” Melissa said.

Melissa started to prepare the materials she bought. Roxanne stared at them, and there were a lot

of things she didn’t recognize. She knew the use of some though. There was chalk, some sort of

muddy water, wolf skin, bone, and the rest that Roxanne classified as mostly plants and weed she

didn’t recognize.

“A wolf is a creature of the tundra, of the woods, the snow, the plains, the forest, and the desert.

with this ceremony with these ingredients, obtained from each and every part of the wolf's habitat. In

order to call out your ‘Inner Wolf', it must sense familiar territory. We will make such a territory here. I

will set things up. You should start too…” Melissa stated.

Roxanne knew what this meant. It was time to strip. Strangely, she didn't feel any of the

embarrassment she felt previously. She felt she could do anything at this point. Was it due to the

excitement she was feeling or was it thanks to the high of the moon? She didn't know, but she didn't

care either.

Her mother gave her an ointment to rub on her body before she took off her garments. While she

did this, Melissa prepared the ingredients, arranging them in a circle. She poured the salt to make a

circle, connecting the various ingredients she brought. After doing this, she made a smaller circle in the

middle. Roxanne guessed that was where she would be staying.

After rubbing the ointment, Roxanne let go of her clothes, entirely naked under the moonlight. Her

fair body glistened as she approached her mother with a stern look of resolve.

Initially, she was worried about the cold and how it would affect her if she was not wearing

anything, but thanks to the ointment, she felt warm all over her body. Roxanne couldn't explain how it

worked, but that didn't matter.

Looking at the circle Melissa made, it was easy to suspect it to be some sort of creepy cult ritual of

voodoo practises. The Roxanne of the past would definitely freak out if she saw something like this and

was told to participate in such a ceremony. However, in just the span of a few days, a lot of things

about her had changed. And now, even more would change.

“Step into the circle, Roxanne. Let us begin the Awakening” Melissa said.

Roxanne did as she was told and slowly walked into the centre of the circle, feeling a strange

sensation within her as she did so. A warm feeling enveloped her insides. It was finally time.

The moon hung in the sky, serving as a witness to the bizarre event to occur.
