The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 10

He moved me up to the highest tree that he could find and settled there. Strangely, the spider was also out of my tail.

I glanced at his mask.

The only problem left was to deal with Alpha Derek, who was wearing a mask and dark casual clothes that made his muscles pop.

Or maybe I am the dangerous one here?

When he carefully placed me down, I took that moment to wrap my arms around his neck. His eyes widened, and I felt his body stiffen in shock.

"Let go of me." He says in a low voice.

At that moment, I realized that it was the perfect chance to use my ability to make him submit to me. Yet all hopes got lost when I couldn't suck a single grain of energy from his body.

Is my ability not working on him?

I bit my lower lip in irritation, "Why is my luck worst whenever it's you?"

"Get away from me, or I'll throw you from this height." He threatens.

"Do it then. Who's the idiot who'll save a person than kill them later on? Is it some fetish?"

His eyes started to darken in anger, yet I still didn't stop and got closer to him. It's strange. Though he was acting angry, his body was saying the opposite.

He's nervous.

I wanted to expose him right away, but maybe now isn't the right time. I'll let him play the role of being a mysterious competitor. I don't know why he's here anyway, and it's not like he'll tell me. He'll just run away if I say I know that it's him.

"May I know the name of my savior?" I smiled.

"No need," He pushed me away, "The situation was unexpected, so I had to save you. It's too early to thank me. We just got in Arndon woods, who knows how long you can survive here without-"

I clasped my hands together in sarcasm, "You're so kind! You want to accompany me till the end of the forest!"

"What when did I say that-"

Placing my index finger on his lips to silence him up, I grinned. "No need to be shy. I also want good company. Things can get lonely here, you see?"

He growled as he brushed my hand away. "You're crazy. Stop assuming things. I don't plan on accompanying you. You can die for all I care."

I rolled my eyes. Why are all alphas so damn irritating?

Seeing that he had no intention to stay with me any longer. I took the risk of wanting to rile him up. I know he can't sense that I'm his mate, but I still bet that his instincts would still scream to help me, just like he did earlier.

I hope this experiment is worth it.

"Is that so? Then can I die now?"

Brushing my hair behind my ear, I let out a smile before I stared down at the ground. The tree was high enough to kill me or injure me to the state of being disabled. I don't know why, but the atmosphere up here made me more comfortable than down there.

Or was it because I'm just here beside my mate?

"What are you doing? You're not planning to jump from this height, are you?" He stood up immediately, he tried to come near me, but I took a step back.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't care? You won't know, maybe I can survive this fall. After all, you were able to carry me all the way up here."

"That's different! I jumped several tree branches to get us here! Even if you're a werewolf, you won't survive if you fall from this height! Are you crazy? The competition just started, and you're trying to kill yourself?"

"Then let me come with you, just until the end of the forest."

"No!"

"Then-" I took another step back, only one step more till i fell.

He reaches his hand out in worry, "Wait! Okay! Okay! You win! I'll let you come with me!"

I smirked. "Promise you won't take your words back?"

"Are you a kid? Making promises like this?"

"Promise me," I demanded. "With a kiss on the forehead."

His eyebrow furrowed in confusion. I knew that he was a bit taken back that I was asking a stranger to kiss me on my forehead, but I just had no choice since I had to take any chance that I could take to make physical contact with him.

I have to retrieve my essence back!
