The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy novel Chapter 9

The queries didn't last long. Although some guys tried fighting their way out, everything eventually played out when Alpha Derek appeared in front of the crowd. No one was able to complain anymore at that point.

His dominating alpha aura was enough to make everyone silent. He didn't even need to speak to shut the noisy ones. But before he left, he sent me one last glare that made me somehow smile.

At least he's not ignoring me that much?

Facing the notorious Arndon Woods, everyone around me was nervous or worried about their lives. I saw some weird dudes getting excited- while here I am bored as hell.

I groaned. "Just when will this start?"

"Hey, shortie."

I turned at the voice behind me and saw a tall guy with blonde hair staring at me with an amused expression. And because I was a great actress, I immediately smiled upon locking eyes with him.

"Me? Shortie? I'm 5'6."

"Well, I'm 6'2, so you're short on my perspective."

Ok? No one asked, though.

Despite wanting to bark back, I just continued to smile at him to hint him that I was uncomfortable with how he was standing beside me.

"What's with the dog smile?"

My smile almost broke. "Did you just say dog?"

"You don't like dogs? then how about a cat?" He grins.

There was something weird about him. I don't even know him, but he was trying to rile me up. I could've sworn I hid my identity when I made enemies. If one person knew my identity, that'd be the guy I left half-naked at the cabin.

"Do I know you? I can feel a strange sense of hostility coming from you."

He eyes me down, he was getting closer, so I took a step back. He says, "Do you know Alpha Derek?"

"What? What does that have to do with you?"

"It does. I should know if there's something fishy going around the arena, shouldn't I?"

"Hah. You're suspecting me of going through a back door to win, aren't you, big guy?"

He glares at me, "It's Noah, make sure to remember that till the last level. Like you, i don't want things to get boring, so you better not die until the last level."

And then he's gone.

I sighed briefly. Did he saw how I flirted with Alpha Derek? or was it when he glared at me recently? Anyway, I shouldn't be bothered about it that much since I will win this thing anyway.

"Worry about yourself, Big Noah." I rolled my eyes.

Finally, the gate to enter Arndon Woods opened. We were given a total amount of 8 hours to get through the forest, or else we'd be locked inside the forest until the next date to open the gate arrives, though I highly doubt that you'll be alive after so long.

Arndon Woods was considered the scariest forest on the continent so far. The gate only opens mid-winter, letting anyone in without restrictions. It was the type of gate that once you step foot inside, you can't step get out at the same gate- it has to be at the other end of the forest.

But there's more. What makes it so terrifying is that the forest was crawling with monsters and creatures from different species.

Others call it 'The lost World.'

I've always heard about this place from my missions. Other than it's terrifying stories. I also found out that it was a place to go for great treasure. Some even said that this forest was once a haven for Witches.

Everyone around me started to shift. Some stayed at their spot, and while I just casually ran towards inside. Once I was in, my ears tingled when I sensed movement from the ground.
