The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 39

*VENUS's POV*

After a while of settling down my things in my room, I soon came to the realization that I was close to my doom. I laid my back on the bed with stress at the back of my head.

Even though I agreed to come, I was still unwilling to expose myself to the great five packs. Considering I've done missions all across the continents, it wouldn't be a surprise if someone recognized me in the crowd tomorrow.

I sighed, hugging the pillow beside me. This is why spies never liked crowds in the first place.

"What should I do? Think Venus..Think." I closed my eyes.

{"Don't worry, my lover. I'll order you food if that's what you want. I can even feed you myself. So please wait patiently in your own room for now. Okay?"}

I shake my head immedietely, as if the thought was gonna magically disappear. I sat up and scoffed in disbelief, "Why did I even think of that self-proclaimed alpha? Am I taking in too much essence that he's even in my head now?"

He says he'll order food, but he hasn't even called me after hours. He must really like messing with me. I rolled my eyes.

At that moment, I was even more determined to save myself from the situation. I lifted my ass and walked around the room as I changed attire. Ultimately, the only solution I could think of was to wear a disguise in front of everybody tomorrow.

And for that to happen, I need to go out to buy some!

As I closed the room to my door, I glanced at Derek's doorknob.

"He must be sleeping by now," I glanced to the clock above me. "Whatever, it's better this way anyway."

I wore my black baseball cap and left the penthouse suite on my own two feet.

It's been so long since I've been to Stone City. I glanced around me and saw the bustling street filled with different species. Before, there weren't any tall buildings, but now because of the advanced human technology we acquired, it must've been a lot easier for everyone to settle in Stone City. Who would've thought that it would change this much?

As I walked discreetly at my own pace, my reflexes turned when a homeless rogue almost grabbed my feet. I looked down at him, as he sprawled down on the ground for trying to reach me.

"Are you... okay?" I asked, confused why he tried to touch me.

Oddly though, he laughs and straightens his back. "Oh my... youngsters do really have improved reflexes."

"I won't give you money."

"I never begged for money." He smiles.

"Then what do you want?"

"It's my birthday."

"What?" I raised an eyebrow, confused.

"It's my birthday," He repeats, "Can you sing me a song, young lad? This old man never fails to celebrate a birthday every year."

"You don't have any family to do that?"

He shakes his head. I don't even get why I asked that in the first place, but when I've confirmed that he also doesn't have a family. I couldn't help but get a random bill in my pocket and throw it at his face.

His eyes widen in shock.

I sighed, "Look, old man, I'm not good at singing. I don't know any songs so let's not do that. Take this money and spend your own birthday with things that make you happy."

"W..What?" He says, dumbfounded.

"You're not begging for money. So don't take this as something offensive."

I nodded to myself. I'm not much of a compassionate person. But Ryan said that Shaka is always empathetic towards me. And Shaka, every year, would throw money at my face and tell me to go and have fun.
