I clasped my hands in excitement, "If that's the case, why not ask him yourself? Isn't he here right now? i saw his bike downstairs."
He clicks his tongue, annoyed. "Yeah, He came for Venus about business."
"Is it really about business?" I said, wriggling my eyebrows.
"Shut up." He sighs. "Anyway have you finished your tasks for the day? I have something i want you to do-"
"But alpha," I interrupt him, "Aren't you worried for Beta Venus? Alpha Seff is known for being a womanizer. With his good looks, even beta venus's frozen heart can melt!"
"Easton,"
"-I mean i wouldn't blame Alpha Seff. Though Beta Venus is kind of a hard she-wolf to approach, her body and looks is something any male would die for-"
"EASTON!" He shouts this time, his eyes darkening from anger.
Knowing my limits, i immediately shut my mouth. By then, the room suddenly was filled with silence. My sweat rolled down as i felt Alpha Derek's murderous gaze stabbing my chest.
He grumbles, his tone dark. "Tell me, what is the number one rule about relationships for every beta working under me?"
I gulped. "T..That is, one must avoid casual relationships with others other than their mate to avoid irresponsible behavior during his/her tasks."
"Ban him,"
"What?" I asked, bewildered.
"Ban Seff from entering Crescent Moon starting today! if he gets in without my permission again, i'll punish everyone, including you."
*VENUS's POV*
The deal that i made with Seff was more suspicious than anything. He promised not to expose me, and in return i must play a specific role he had in mind.
{"Since you're such a great actress, won't you play with me?"}
Tsk spiteful bastard.
I was on my way back to Alpha Derek's office after i kicked Seff on his balls to relieve some of my pent-up anger. Why i kicked him? He's basically blackmailing me, so that's why i did it.
When i faced the door, i was surprised to see Easton on his way out. He had this worried and petrified expression as soon as we locked eyes.
What's going on?
"Beta Venus!" He whispers. "Whatever you do, don't provoke him for now!"
"What?"
Then, he sprints out.
I didn't understand his point and just shrugged it off. Once i got in, i was baffled as i felt the intensity of Alpha Derek's killing intent all around the room's corners. His gaze focused on the window in front of him.
Should i announce myself?
At that moment, i recalled some of my memories when Shaka was in the same mood. He said that if we see him disoriented and angry, we should leave to show respect. And of course, it was to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.
Coming into that conclusion, i turned a heel and was about to leave when he unexpectedly halts me. My hand on the cold door knob, i felt his gaze piercing on my back.
"Where are you going?"
It's me, i'm going to be the unnecessary sacrifice. I sighed, "You seem to be busy Alpha, i was about to finish my remaining duties for the day."
"Let go of the doorknob and come here." He lowly snarls.
