Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha Became a Rogue, but I Begged To Stay: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

I didn't know how long I was out. In my sleep, I felt a few drops of water land on my face, and the cold slowly pulled me back to consciousness.When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Adrian — his eyes puffy and glistening, as though he'd been crying for hours.The moment he realized I was awake, his face lit up with relief. Then, almost immediately, he seemed to remember how pathetic he must look. He spun around, wiped his eyes, and asked in his most casual voice, "Mira, how are you feeling?"Watching him try so hard to hold it together while clearly dying to fuss over me — I couldn't help it. I actually thought he was kind of adorable. I wanted to mess with him a little.I pressed a hand to my chest, scrunched my face in agony, and whimpered, "It hurts... it hurts so bad."He scrambled to his feet, grabbed my hand, and his voice shook as he tried to comfort me. "Don't be scared. I'll find a way to heal you — there are plenty of potions here, I can—"A cold voice cut him off

They'd forced wolfsbane-laced liquor down his throat, leaving him too weak to fight back. He hung from chains, a gaping wound on his forehead streaming blood down his face.A circle of thugs surrounded him, silver blades in hand, gleefully debating which part of him to carve up first."If you'd just stayed a good little rogue, you might've scraped by. But you — looking like this — still dreaming of being Alpha? Pathetic."One of them pointed to a bright red handprint on his own face, seething. "Which hand did he slap me with? Cut his arm off!"The wolfsbane had weakened Adrian, but he was still conscious enough to struggle. The chains rattled and clanged as he thrashed against them.That only excited them more. Their laughter grew wilder, crueler.The silver blade was inches from Adrian's arm when something inside me snapped. My wolf surged to the surface. I forgot every plot point, every calculation. I unleashed every ounce of wolf energy in my body, shifted, and lunged at the man hol

Serena said nothing. She stood perfectly still, eyes fixed ahead, refusing to take a side.The tension was suffocating.I understood instantly — she was waiting for Adrian to beg.Maybe Serena didn't truly care about Adrian at all. What she loved was the thrill of conquest. Adrian was famously stubborn — the most defiant wolf in the entire world — and that was exactly what had ignited her competitive streak.But Adrian's eyes weren't on her. He gently wiped the blood from my face and held me tight against his chest."Don't be scared. Even if I die here tonight, I won't let anything happen to you."He set me down. I stared at him, shattered, clawing at the air to hold him back — but my arms were dead weight. I couldn't lift them.[Why is the villainess still clinging to the hero? If it weren't for her, Adrian and the heroine would've already teamed up and handled this.][Damien is the final boss. In the original plot, the hero and heroine have to work together to defeat him — but this t

I stared at him in disbelief. "Sir, you must have the wrong person. I'm an orphan — I don't have a father."The man steadied his breathing and began to explain.My mother had died giving birth to me. The pack witch declared me an ill omen — a curse that would bring ruin to the pack sooner or later.But my father refused to listen. He felt that I'd come into the world already robbed of a mother's love, so he was determined to give me all of his.The rumors only grew worse. Years of war and devastating losses convinced the pack that I was the source of their misfortune.Under mounting pressure, my father sent me away, promising it was only temporary — just until things blew over — and that he'd come for me soon.But I got lost. He searched for me, year after year, and never found me.During that time, still grieving, he came across an orphan girl — a child left parentless by the same wars — and took her in as his own daughter.He never stopped looking for me. But I'd grown into someone u
