The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy

Chapter 32: It Makes You Look Stupid

~*~*~

*DEREK's POV*

"Admit it. You like Venus. You want her Alpha Derek."

I don't want to lie to myself anymore.

I frowned.

The truth is, there was no day I wouldn't think about Venus and the possibilities if ever she became

mine. Every night, I would get dreams about her- as if she was even haunting me whenever I closed

my eyes.

I was doing well resisting her attempts, but I finally gave in just a while ago. This thirst of wanting her... I

couldn't quench it even if I touched her for mere 5 seconds.

I jumped to the pit myself.

"You're right, I like Venus." I chuckled bitterly, "It's different from what I feel towards Cheryl. But...I can't

feel her sincerity. I know that Venus's just playing around with me. You see it, right? She's oblivious to

love, I always feel that she's just trying to get something from me,"

She's like this demon seductress that's trying to kill me, to drain the life out of me. Whenever she tried

to manipulate me, I didn't give a damn... I was even happy that she was making an effort to get my

attention.

"Alpha.. what do you plan to do with her then?" Easton says in a worried expression.

"For now... I won't let her get what she wants so easily. I have to find out what she's hiding."

"Then?"

I looked at Easton, "then I'll make her mine."

As soon as I finished delegating Easton's task for the week, I summoned their whole squad to my office

since I had something to announce to them formally. All of them entered with confused expressions,

Venus's arms crossing with each other as she stared back at me.

"Since you're all here, let's get straight to the point." I stood up, "This has been planned for a long time,

even before you became a part of Crescent Moon. Though, we didn't exactly want to introduce you to

respect your privacy. But this concerns the Great Five Packs. Tomorrow we'll set off to Stone City.

Make sure you finish all your task for the day,"

Venus coughs, catching my attention. "What's there to be so curious about us? Isn't this just some ploy

to summon us outside? Wouldn't Crescent Moon be vulnerable to attacks if we leave?"

"All five packs will be there. If we're vulnerable, so they're. Anyway, there are always countermeasures

for events like these. It's no big deal."

"Countermeasures? You mean you have some kind of method that can ward off small packs that could

possibly attack this land?"

"Small packs aren't a concern."

"Underestimating an enemy is bad, alpha. Though they're small in numbers, if they suddenly team up

and attack Crescent Moon, wouldn't it equal to one of the packs from the Great Five Packs?"

I sighed, "I understand what you're worried about. But don't worry, the five packs have done this

several times, and there's no way anyone would even plot against us since tracking them would be a

piece of cake if they ever decided to set foot in any of our land."

"Even so, being careful than ignorant is better, isn't it?"

Something's weird.

Staring at her body language, I couldn't fathom why she kept on intercepting my words, yet her

expression remained the same, her posture fixed as she gazed straight back at me with no sign of

dishonesty at all.

"Enough," I lowly growled, "We're going, and that's final."

Having no more words left to say, I dismissed them. But Venus stayed. It was obvious what it was

about. She didn't utter a word until the door finally closed that we were the only person within the

range.

"Derek, you should've told me about this."

"Derek?" I chuckled, thinking how she nonchalantly addressed me in my first name. "Have you

forgotten I'm your alpha? Venus."

She crosses her arms, and her eyebrow raised, "Have you forgotten? You kissed me earlier, DEREK."

I smirked, "What does that have to do with you addressing me respectfully?"

"Isn't this how relationship usually works?"

"Relationship? You mean you and I? What do you mean?" I asked, teasing her.

Her eyes widened, anger evident on her face. "Are you USUALLY this kind of a jerk to women?"

She's cute, I thought. Before, I used to deny the fact that I enjoy making her mad- though she won

against me most of the time in terms of that. But since our lips touched recently, I've been feeling lighter

and seeing her differently.

Everything about her seems to sparkle. Then I realized that I had been gawking at her for a while now. I

snapped back, and I tilted my head, feigning innocence, "I don't know what you're talking about. Don't

change the subject. Call me 'Alpha.'"

"No."

"Don't be stubborn. Are you planning to reveal to everyone that you call me so intimately like that?"

"Why, are you scared?"

"Sweetheart, I don't get scared," I smirked. "I'm just concerned about your reputation."

She scoffs. "You're kidding. You're the one who should be concerned about your reputation, DEREK.

Seeing that you can't even admit that you're attracted towards me."

I frowned. Truthfully, I had enough of people telling me what to do. Even Venus herself was

complaining about it- which is something I'm not really surprised about. The only reason I've decided to

play with her acts is to see how far her loyalty goes.

Should I trust her?

Teasingly, I placed a finger on my bottom lip. "Who says i haven't admitted it? Didn't my lips prove it?"

"Well, since you brought it up," She smiled as she strode towards my desk. She then proceeded to sit

boldly on my lap without any care in the world. One hand on my shoulder, and the other at the side of

my face. "I seem to have a bad memory. Can you prove it again?"

"5 seconds isn't enough for you?" I replied, my voice low as I placed my hands around her slim waist. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

It's been a while since I saw how clear her purple eyes were, how beautifully her facial proportions, and

most especially, her touch that made my wolf crazy as always.

"It's weird. Why do you keep riling me up like this? From the first time we met till this moment, do you

feel proud? As you finally have me wrapped around your fingers?"

She smiled smugly, her hands falling to her sides, "I don't know about that. Leashing an alpha isn't

something i have done yet. You say I have wrapped you around my fingers, but look at you...you can't

even act well that it makes you look stupid, Alpha Derek."
