The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 21

*VENUS's POV*

When i heard his door shut with a loud bang, i couldn't help but realize something.

My plan is working.

I tilted my head. The fruits of my hard work showed when Alpha Derek willingly confronted me today. I almost gave up after four months of pretending to hold a grudge. Who would have thought that he would adjust his time for me?

He's finally opening up after all this time!

Because he was too suspicious of me, in the past four months, i've tried my best to avoid sending letters to Shaka. i did better what he would've expected of me, and of course i decided to distance myself from him so it won't look suspicious if we ever get close in the future.

Why am i so clever?

I scooped up a portion of tuna and ate it to reward myself, "Bon Appétit."

"Argh argh! mercy!" Noah grunts in pain as i twisted his elbow.

With a cup of coffee in my hand, i glared at him seeing how he still dared to sneak an attack on me even after training was over. We just got back from the mountain and the first thing he does is violence against his teacher?

Am i being too generous lately?

"Noah, don't you ever get tired of trying to test my ability? Isn't 4 months of torture enough for you? Or is this still about your lame tantrums?"

"S-Shut up let go of me!"

I released him. He caressed his arm and glared at me.

JoJo munches his food, "Yeah, what were you thinking? Captain has been giving us delicious food always after training, at least be thankful for that."

I rolled my eyes, this glutton.

Noah barks back, pointing his finger at me. "Ha! Isn't that the same as bribing us to accept you?"

"I accept her," Jojo nonchalantly says and takes another bite.

Noah gives him a look of disbelief then proceeds to get validations from the others. Unfortunately, his expectations failed when Easton and Liam just nodded along with JoJo.

"You all-! How can you trust that wench so easily?!" Noah raises his voice.

"She's our beta, isn't that natural? And even if you don't trust her, can't you see how we've all improved after 4 months under her? She deserves the position." Liam says with a bored expression.

Nice one Liam!

I mean isn't that obvious? I've been coaching them sincerely, just what is Noah so dissatisfied with? Is this still about the dormitory rooms?

"You're all brainwashed!"

"Noah,"

He stiffens, "W-What?!"

I smiled, i thought it would make him calmer but it did the opposite. He suddenly became more hostile and took a step back. As i was confused, my eyebrow furrowed.

"Have i been too harsh on you these past months?" I asked.

Well if i think about it, Noah always received my wrath since he was always in punishment. Other than torturing him, i can't see a single moment where we've talked or bonded properly as a squad.

Though forming relationships is taboo in my mission, it's usually easier to be sincere at times like this- and it's not like i regretted anything after my missions anyway.

"That's right! You always punish me!"

JoJo mutters under his breath. "It's because you always don't take the training seriously, how can you blame beta Venus?"

"Shut up kid! i wasn't talking to you!"

JoJo stuck his tongue out. "I'm not a kid! i'm just 16!"

"Exactly dumbass, you're a minor!"

Their bickerings went for a while so I have just leisurely gone back to my coffee. Dealing with Noah can come tomorrow since i have a more important task to do after this lunch.

When he got an inch closer to my face, i was ready to head bang him to death when Alpha Derek suddenly pulls me back behind him. What is Alpha Derek doing? I couldn't understand why he did that so i just kept my mouth shut.

Alpha Derek growls, "Get back!"

"Woah Woah!" Seff says in surprise. "What are you getting hostile for?"

"Have you met her without my permission before?"

Seff smirks, "Why do i need your permission? as i've said. Your beta and i have some kind of fated relationship with each other. Right Venus? After all we've been through, you're still angry at me?"

This bastard, what the hell is he spouting now?!

Seff tries to take a closer step to me but Alpha Derek refused again. He stops Seff by placing his huge hand to his chest in a hurry, "She's my beta now, haven't we talked about this before? Don't make unnecessary trouble and go back!"

For a second, i saw Seff's eyes turning into rage before he went back to his usual self. He sighs disbelief, "Derek, do consider her opinion okay? what if she's the one who called me here?"

What?!

I couldn't believe what he was trying to pull. He was silently signaling me to cooperate or else. Seeing that i was at a disadvantage, i had no choice but to surrender for now.

Let's just hear what this psycho has to say.

I smiled. "It's fine Alpha Derek. I did summon him for some private matters."

Alpha Derek eyes's widens, "So you've been really meeting him before?"

"It's... a bit complicated."

All of a sudden, Seff wrapped his arm across my shoulder. I wanted to beat him to death by then, but i didn't want to risk exposing my identity for now.

Seff grins "It's really not that complicated, she's one of my dearest customers in Rohan guild, how can i not meet her when she asks me to?"

My eyes widened.

What? He's with the Rohan Guild?
