The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 4

*VENUS's POV*

What was that?

I was left shocked for the first time in 12 years because of what happened. The spark that i had long forgotten creeps itself way back into my skin. I knew it was the same feeling i felt when i used my heart essence back then.

I looked over to my palm and noticed it trembling a bit.

"What's wrong?" He says with sarcasm. "Do you not want to do it?"

For some reason, i felt something boiling inside of me. I couldn't explain it, but it felt like i wanted to slap this guy's face. His golden eyes, strangely making my stomach turn at the sight of it.

I don't know what i felt at that moment, but i knew others called this feeling as.. anger!

"You must be kidding," I scoffed. "Your hand just felt weak among others, so i thought i could give you a chance to back out."

"Oh? we'll see about that."

He taunts me by wiggling his finger as he positions his elbow on the table. He was mocking me just like the other guys who went ahead before him, but something was different about him. His aura was cold and domineering, not the kind of aura you'll see at a festival for citizens.

I glared at him before i locked hands. As soon as the vendor ques the initiation call. For the first time since the beginning of the game, I was having a hard time winning.

We were pinned on the middle spot as we fought against each other strengths. It wasn't easy for me, and i somehow felt that he also had a bit of a hard time.

"Having a hard time defeating a she-wolf?"

He chuckles, "I just don't want it to get boring, i'm giving you a chance. You're strong, but not so strong that i can't defeat you."

I rolled my eyes. "Prove it."

Before i knew it, my hand was already on the right side of the table. I gasped, and everybody does too.

What the fuck?! he's not a normal citizen!

Realizing that he practically played me made me angrier, i stood up and brushed his hand away from mine."You! You're a warrior, aren't you!"

"So what if i am? how about you? Aren't you also a trained warrior? Participating in games for citizens, do you have no shame?"

"What?" I gasped in disbelief.

This guy is deliberately angering me on purpose! My anger was out of proportion since i just retrieved it back. Controlling it right now was harder than anything i've experienced before.

I can't even control my mouth.

"Who says i can't participate?" I lowly growled. "You don't own the festival so get the fuck out of my sight!"

"You lost, and you're telling me to get lost?"

"Y...You!"

I couldn't hold it back anymore. The next thing i knew, the table in front of us was already in pieces and i swung my feet to kick his abdomen. He receives it and flies sidewards from the stage, the props around us blowing up to pieces.

I gasped when i realized what i had just done.

And just like every year on my birthday, the first snowfall comes.

The snow made me feel a strange sense of relief. But my anger was too intense that it was starting to get out of hand so i just decided to flee from the scene. People began to run from the spot and i did so too.

"You won't get away from this!"

*DEREK's POV*

I intentionally received her kick since i wanted to test out her raw power. For a she-wolf, her strength defied the charts, she had the same power from men that trained for years already. Unfortunately, I flew sidewards and crashed to the stage props, making me unable to get up easily.

"You won't get away from this!"

When i got up, she was running away with the crowd, she even walked passed Seff, but Seff just laughed at the situation and gazed back at me.

"Get her!"

"Don't do it man, why are you so hung up on her anyway? She's just an outsider, there's no need for you to worry about it." Seff says and he stood beside me.

"Shut up, she's suspicious," I grumbled as i removed dust all over my body. "She has a raw power that could defeat 3 men at the same time."

"It was that powerful?"

I nodded.

The reason why i also said she was suspicious was because of her lack of presence. For werewolves, sniffing others' presence was easy, but even when i memorized her scent, it still didn't leave an impression on me.

As if she doesn't exist at all.

"Damn it, i can't sense her anymore."

"Do you want me to find her? I can find her for you-"

"No." I growled, it was odd how i was feeling somehow bothered just by the thought that he'll try to meet her. I just knew that i didn't want him anywhere near her.

Fuck why am i even thinking like this?

"Nevermind, i'll let her go. You're right, she's just an oustider. I won't find her anymore so don't try to track her, okay?"

He raises his hands up in surrender and walks away.
