Awakening
“Great! You’re still a virgin!” Melissa beamed.
Roxanne felt increasingly embarrassed with her mom’s mention of the word, and how it related to
her.
“Just get to the point mom! How does this help me in any way?” She asked impatiently.
Melissa calmed herself after hearing Roxanne's tone. She smiled at her ignorant daughter and
gave her a reassuring look.
“The Awakening is supposed to take place at a werewolf's coming of age ceremony. This signifies
the werewolf is an adult, and will begin to take some responsibilities in the pack. Therefore it is
expected that all werewolves to go through this ceremony are virgins, since they have not come of age
yet. As untouched vessels, they become pure recipients of the moon's light.” Melissa explained.
“So… What you’re saying is that you have to be a virgin to undergo awakening?” Roxanne asked.
“No, not at all! There have been unprecedented cases where minors engage in sex, resulting in
them being disvirgined… But, that doesn’t stop the Awakening process. It just makes it longer and
more painful for the vessel.” Melissa further explained.
“Painful?!” Roxanne asked, a bit nervous due to what she heard.
“Yes. The moon's light expects to find the vessel pure. However, if such a person ends up being
the opposite, the moon will take it upon itself to cleanse and purify such a person. This is a painful
process where it seems your body is enveloped by fire. Of course, I have never gone through it, but I
once knew someone who did. It’s not something I would wish for you” Melissa concluded.
“Ah, thank goodness I’m a virgin, right?” Roxanne laughed awkwardly.
“Yeah…” Melissa also chuckled.
There was an uncomfortable silence in the air as both of them stared at each other. They suddenly
realised what caused the whole mess to begin with, and Roxanne remembered her mother's affair with
the man she saw.
“Mom, about the guy I found you with… You tried to explain to me before, but I didn’t listen. I’m
ready to listen now. So tell me what exactly happened.” Roxanne asked her mother.
Upon hearing this, Melissa sighed. She knew she had to tell her daughter sooner or later, and it
would be best to reveal it to her now that they were both in a truth streak.
“His name is Damien, and he’s a werewolf as well.” Melissa began.
“I kinda had the feeling” Roxanne commented. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“Not only is he a werewolf, but he is also… My second chance mate.” Melissa revealed.
“What does that mean?” Roxanne asked.
“You already know who a mate is, don’t you? The partner of a wolf, guided by fate and destined to
be bound together. That is a mate. Usually, a wolf's mate only appears once in a lifetime. That is why
we werewolves take it very seriously. Once a werewolf misses a chance with their mate, they may have
lost them forever. Refusing one’s mate will only lead to regret in the long run… That is, it is even
possible in the first place.” Melissa explained.
“However, on very rare occasions, second chance mates appear. Your father died when you were
15, and I’m only just 37. Roxanne, do you understand what I’m saying here?” Melissa asked.
“You mean… You got another mate apart from dad?” Roxanne gasped.
“Yes. My relationship with Damien is a very rare occurrence that hardly happens even in our entire
culture. The first time I met him was two years ago, and from that moment we both knew that we were
meant for each other. But… I just couldn’t do it.” Melissa hesitantly said.
“Because of me?” Roxanne asked.
