My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

　　Dark Clouds On A Sunny Morning

　　“Oh, Roxanne… Your hair” Her mother said, noticing the few blue strands of hair among her dark hair.

　　“Oh yeah… I just noticed this morning too. I was going to dye it as usual, but too much time has gone. I’ll do it later.” Roxanne responded, feeling uncomfortable that her mother had noticed her hair.

　　“But, you know… You don’t have to. It really looks nice. Why don’t you…” Her mother smiled nervously, trying to reason with Roxanne.

　　“Mom, we talked about this!” Roxanne immediately let out.

　　“Right… Sorry about that” Her mother said in a low, dejected tone.

　　“M-Mom, I didn’t mean to raise my voice. It’s just… Let’s drop this matter already. It’s not normal for a regular High school student to have Blue hair matching her blue eyes. It makes me stand out, and that’s the last thing I need in my life right now.” She explained, feeling hurt herself.

　　“I know dear. I just, I’m sorry okay? You should know that you’re okay with your natural looks too. I just wanted you to know that” Her mother responded.

　　“Yeah, I know Mom. Thanks…” Roxanne said, letting out a slight smile.

　　“Okay, I’m super late, so I better get going!” Roxanne said, cutting off the brief connection they had.
