The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 14

As soon as I entered the mist, everything around me completely dispersed. The screams of fear of other participants were no longer there, only silence that started to make me wary.

When I looked at my hand, it blurred. A sign that the illusion was starting, which was something I was prepared to face from the moment I stepped in.

The scenery around me started to change- it was the place that I grew up with as a child, with my parents.

["Venus.."]

I turned to the voice, but there wasn't anyone.

"Hello?"

Again, it called me. But when I looked in that direction. There was no one. It didn't bother me that I couldn't see anyone, but it was from a voice that I was very familiar with. I already knew who was going to try to mess with me.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of me, her body pressing against mine and her arms wrapped around me.

So they're trying to mess with me using my mother.

{"How are you, my baby? I've missed you so much. Do you know how long I've waited to see you like this?"} She says, her sweet, alluring voice echoing around me.

My father was also there. He was sitting on a chair with a smile plastered to his face. A smile that I hadn't seen after my mother died.

I grinned.

As expected, I had no emotions to spare, even after seeing the most important person I have like this. No joy or sadness dwelled inside of me.

I was just a living empty shell. Who am I to expect to feel emotions right now?

I hugged her tighter, "Me too, Mom. After you left, did you know how much father had suffered? Do you know that my father had abandoned me because of you? He blamed me for something I didn't do. Do I really deserve to be blamed? If only you were real right now, maybe I can get answers."

Even if the image wasn't actual, I kind of anticipated an answer. But instead, it just smiled at me and slowly became one with the mist.

"Argh, Crescent Moon is taking your recruitment too far. I mean, talk about terrifying. Even I would have nightmares after all these ends." Seff laughed.

We were stationed on a cliff, a place where we could watch them enter one by one. It was also the closest to the White Mist Blues, so we had the perfect view of the area.

Like Seff stated, the woes and cries of the competitors continued to worsen each minute that passed by. Some of them yelled in pain, some cried in despair but what i didn't expect to see was a person walking straight through the mist without stopping.

As if she was immune to the illusions.

"Ah, never fails to impress me." Seff grinned. "What do you think? I'm betting that she'll get in your pack. Well, though I wouldn't want that, it's better than being dead. Right?"

I gazed at her.
