The Alpha's Mate Is A Spy

{"No matter what, promise me you'll live. Even without a purpose, you must live your life...okay? promise me that."}

Who's that? My eyes wandered to my surroundings. It was vague and sullen. Then I realized I was back at the house that I was very familiar with in the past.

As I turned around, I finally saw myself as a child and my diseased mother beside her.

{"If I promise, would you be okay?"} the child sobs. {"I'm sorry mom, I can only heal physical wounds."}

{"Don't worry. Mommy would be at peace. If you promise me, I'll promise you I'll always watch over you."}

{"Okay, I promise."}

Raising my palms, I confusedly gazed at it. I still couldn't believe that I was dreaming. How long was it since I last dreamt so vividly like this?

To my surprise, words that I hadn't even heard before echoed around my ears. A forgotten statement that she had long told me before.

With grief evident plastered on her face, she sobs. {"Venus... forgive me. If i had known such cruel fate awaits you. Then I shouldn't have wished for your life."}

What is she talking about? I don't understand. My mother's cries even became violent as she caressed me around her arms. Everything around us started to blur, my mother was saying something, but I couldn't hear it. All I could see was how my child self quivered in fear.

Why did i looked so scared?

Yet before everything could disappear, my mother's eyes met mine. She says as she spits blood, {"Please... don't ever fall in love, my child. It's for your own good."}
