The System Said I Wasn’t the Heroine, So I Left My Alpha and He Broke Down Chapter 06

The system immediately started scolding me.

[The male lead has been taking care of you for years, and the real female lead is transferring here next week. You’re a side character. Start drawing some boundaries now.]

Our eyes met. I tightened my grip around the cup in my hand.

“I brought my own water. Thanks for the juice today, but you don’t need to bring me any

tomorrow.”

The conversations around us continued, but Adrian just stood there staring at me. The faint expectation in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by irritation and confusion.

“You don’t have to bring me juice anymore.”

I handed the washed cup back to him. Adrian finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

“Elena, did I do something to make you mad?”

His voice was low, but I still heard every word clearly. For a moment, I didn’t know how to answer. The system kept telling me Adrian hated me, yet somehow, I thought I heard a trace of hurt in his

voice.

“No.”

“Then why are you going to see a therapist? And why did you… lie to me?”

I paused for two seconds before answering quietly.

“I want to be normal, Adrian.”

His brows drew together.

“I’ve never thought there was anything wrong with you. It’s just a weird little habit…”

The system immediately started trying to stop me from talking to Adrian again. It kept reminding me that he frowned every time he saw me and told me to stop bothering him.

[Look at all the little bite marks you’ve left on the male lead over the years, and he’s still the one comforting you.]

(Werewolves might have biting instincts, but nobody goes around biting someone every single day

like you do.]

[Just stop talking. The irritation on his face couldn’t be any more obvious.]

I was getting frustrated too, because everything the system said sounded true. Adrian was clearly

suppressing his emotions.

His Alpha pressure spread unconsciously through the air, and my wolf instincts made me take half a step back.

“You said it yourself. It’s a weird habit. You’re the only one who thinks it’s normal.”

“When I told Ryan about it this morning, he immediately said it wasn’t normal. He even explained what kind of behavioral problem it might be…”

A chair leg screeched across the floor. Adrian’s expression darkened even further.

“Why did you tell him?”

“You told me before that this habit, and the bite marks on me, were something only the two of us

knew about…”

He stepped closer. His tall frame blocked the light in front of me. My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively backed away.

“I only told him that I have this condition. I didn’t tell him anything about what happened between

so don’t worry…”

us,

Maybe it was my imagination, but Adrian’s breathing seemed to grow heavier.

“So lately, is it because of Ryan that

you…

The class bell rang. The rest of Adrian’s sentence disappeared beneath the sound. After school, Adrian was already waiting by our desks.

Ryan gathered up the papers at record speed and bolted just as fast. I silently followed behind Adrian. For some reason, the atmosphere between us felt heavier and heavier.

Adrian had never been talkative to begin with. But over the past few days, he’d barely spoken at all.
