The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy

*VENUS's POV*

Something was very weird. Derek wasn't his usual self for the past days, he was taking my jokes too fondly to the point that he'd respond intimately too. Not that I am complaining, but I can't help but be suspicious.

"You think i'm acting?" He asks, his eyes squinted. Like a hungry man, he pulls me closer that our lips almost touched if I hadn't placed my hand on his firm chest of his. He whispers, "Listen, I'm a simple man. You think I would just be this close to any woman?"

I smirked, "You're no simple man, Alpha. Have you forgotten you're a cold-blooded tyrant that doesn't trust so easily?"

"Are you saying I don't trust you?"

"No," I replied, I pulled away from his hold and stood up. "I'm saying you're cleverly careful. Must be an alpha's instinct, don't you think?"

He looks over his hands where I just left, his eyebrow furrowed as if he was bothered by something before he shrugs it off. His once tender gaze towards me slowly turned into bitterness as his golden eyes started to darken, his following words laced with venom.

"I'm warning you, Venus. Don't you dare betray me."

I stared at him.

Betrayal is my line of work. But why do I feel something ominous around my stomach whenever I see him like this? is this because he's my mate? Do mates always feel this sense of responsibility not to deceive one another?

"I pledged an oath, a blood pact. You think I can betray you?"

"I can tell whether you're lying or not Venus. I hear it, your rapid heartbeat that always goes out of sync whenever you tell a lie."

What?

Though I did expect it since he could feel the effects of us being mates, I was stupid enough to think that I could get away by deceiving him one
