The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 11

SHAKA's POV

"Alpha, did you really let her go just like that?" Ryan asks, his forehead knitted in worry.

It's only been a few hours since she escaped us, Ryan just woke up from consciousness yet he still had the energy to barge in here just to ask for her wellbeing. He still wore hospital clothes, his chest rising up and down from exhaustion.

Looks like you made a good friend, Venus.

I shook my head in vain, "Let her go? You don't get to choose to set her free, if Venus wants to go. You know no one can stop her."

"What? Then why did you have to go all the trouble to scold her?"

I sighed.

"It's because she needs to be at least aware of her situation. You're the closest to her, you know she's smart strategically, but since she's devoid of emotions, she tends to make mistakes in judging a person's character. For her, emotions are something she can copy easily. She takes it too lightly that I get worried."

"It's not her fault that she's like that."

"I know."

Venus is a lonely child. When her father left her to me, I saw how Venus watched her father leave her for the last time. She wasn't crying, nor wore a sad expression. She was simply wearing a blank face, that even somehow scared me at some point. When I came up to her, her words that escaped from her small lips broke my heart.

{"Shaka, When will father come back?"}

As if she was used to how she gazes at her father back, it was understandable wny she asked such a question. In the past, I could only try to comfort her, even though she didn't understand why I was doing it.

I never got to tell her the truth. She'd ask the same question every day. But hearing the same answer from me, she eventually started to avoid the question too.

My heart tightened in pain, "Bad luck would always tangle itself on her, especially since she was born from a taboo relationship between a witch and a werewolf. I wanted to keep her to my side until I die, but the oracle said she was bound to meet her destiny, which is something I can't avoid."

"What if she dies?! We're talking about Crescent Moon here!" Ryan says in a panicked voice.

"I can't do anything about it. The only thing I can give for now is a home she can go back to. hopefully, when she retrieves her emotions back, she'll be able to understand me a bit better than before."

"...But what if she couldn't?"

I frowned, "That's not an option Ryan, if she doesn't retrieve her essence back, she'll die either way."

"What do you mean... die?" His eyes opened. "Venus will die? Why have I never heard of this before? If that was the case, then you shouldn't have sent her away!"

I sighed heavily.

If he wasn't injured in the first place, I could've sworn I would have already kicked him out in a literal way. I slammed my fist on the desk, the table trembled, and the wind blew stronger in our direction.

"Don't push your luck kid. I'm still your alpha, don't you disrespect me in this way!"

He kneels immediately, "I'm sorry Alpha, i.. I was worried for Venus. She may be strong but she's still a kid. Can I request that you send me too on the same mission?"

Send him too? It's too dangerous to send two spies at the same location. It's always been a rule, so why did he bother asking anyway?

"No." I replied.

"But-"

I growled, not taking any more complaints from his mouth. "Is our rules just for display? You dare ask a ridiculous request! If you do come with her, what happens?! You'll get her caught in no time!"

"Then, at least let me protect her from a far-"

"Ryan, Just where is this stubbornness coming from? Last time I checked, you have a mate waiting for you at your house every day."

"No, Alpha, it's not that I like Venus in that way. But I genuinely think of Venus as my younger sibling. I just.. don't want her to lose her life meaninglessly without having to live her life normally." He frowns.

Does it have to come to this? looks like he won't back down until I tell him the truth. Seeing no other choice, I stood up from my seat and walked towards his front.

"You don't have to worry about her losing her life in Crescent Moon. After all, Alpha Derek is Venus's mate."

He immediately froze on the spot.

DEREK's POV

"Don't tell me, Are you horny right now?"

My eyes twitched in anger. Has she finally gone crazy? Did she just ASKED a person who she barely knows such a question?!
