The System Said I Wasn’t the Heroine, So I Left My Alpha and He Broke Down Chapter 09

“Sorry! We’re so sorry!”

The two boys quickly helped us back to our feet. I was fine, but Adrian had clearly taken the worst of

the impact. The system immediately started yelling at me.

[Nothing good ever happens when you’re around! You crashed into the male lead!]

the area around his collarbone was even redder from where I’d hit him.

collarbone is one of the most vulnerable spots! Look at him. His eyes are watering from the pain, and he’s even trembling a little. Hurry up and apologize!]

I had no idea why the system was blaming me again. It wasn’t like I’d deliberately fallen into Adrian’s arms. When those two boys bumped into me, I hadn’t even known Adrian was standing

behind me.

How was that my fault? When I noticed the slight tremble in his fingertips, I figured I really had hit him pretty hard. Still, I gave in and apologized anyway. Adrian cleared his throat.

His voice campout hoarse.

o step beside me. The wind sweeping across the athletic field made the pine scent on more noticeable.

ass is about to start. Why did you come out here by yourself?”.

He glanced at me.

“Are you upset about something?”

I tilted my head up to look at him. I’d seen Adrian’s face every day since we were little, but somehow, he was still ridiculously handsome.

“Is it because of Ryan?”

When I didn’t answer, Adrian spoke again. This time, his voice was even quieter. His long lashes lowered, and somehow, he almost looked a little pitiful.

“What about Ryan?”

I looked at him in confusion. Adrian pressed his lips together.

“You two barely talked today.”

“Did he do something that upset you?”

I thought about it for a moment. I couldn’t even tell whether Ryan had anything to do with my mood.

I was just irritated by everything.

So I decided not to answer again. Adrian didn’t ask any more questions. But the Alpha pressure

around him made my wolf instincts recoil uneasily.

Over the next two days, Ryan remained distant. I didn’t have time to care anymore. The system in my head spent every day celebrating the fact that the real female lead would transfer here next

Monday.

Finally, I asked it,

[Once the female lead shows up, will you finally get out of my head?]

The system went silent for a few seconds before replying in that irritatingly smug tone.

[No idea. Maybe I’ll leave once the male lead and female lead get together.]

[Or maybe I’ll stay bound to you, side character, for the rest of your life.]

I immediately fell into despair. On Friday, while Adrian and I were walking home from school, his expression looked awful too.

“Elena, you’ve only known him for a few weeks. Do you really care that much?”

My thoughts were already a mess. I turned to look at him.

“What?”

Adrian had gotten even thinner lately. He had always been tall and lean, but now his features looked even sharper, making him seem colder and more distant than before. His eyes were darker too, carrying a trace of suppressed displeasure.

Only his voice remained gentle whenever he spoke to me.

“Nothing.”

He paused.

“Has your biting dependency acted up these past couple of days?”

Of course it had. I’d been chewing on my own wrist almost every day. But I had no intention of telling Adrian that.

So I shook my head while quietly tugging my sleeve a little farther down. Adrian’s gaze moved

slowly from my wrist to my face.

“That’s good,” he said.
