บททั้งหมดของ She Rejected Me, so I Stole Her Mate’s Heart: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 8

This was year five of my mission to win over Serena, and tonight she'd left me alone at the office again, working late into the night.Everything around me was pitch dark. Not a single soul on the streets at this hour.I was flat broke. Walking home from the office would take at least two hours, and I couldn’t shift into wolf form in the city. After a moment's hesitation, I pulled out my phone and called Serena.The phone barely rang twice before she hung up.I sighed. Of course. When had she ever cared? I'd just walk home.The silence was suffocating. The darkness felt like it was hiding something dangerous. When I first transmigrated into this world, I'd heard constant reports of rogue wolves attacking people on the streets. They said rogues were savage — they'd tear you apart without a second thought. If I ran into one on the way home...The thought made me walk faster.My phone suddenly rang, nearly scaring me out of my skin. I answered, and Adrian's smug voice poured through the

After leaving the pack, I quickly settled into a position at Adrian's pack.On my very first day, he set up a private office for me and personally showed me how to handle the paperwork.Slowly, I realized he wasn't at all what the Moon Goddess had described — some reckless, debauched Alpha. He was deeply invested in his pack's affairs, handling almost everything himself.I actually admired him.During this time, I didn't hear from Serena once. It was as if she truly didn't care.Until one day.Serena's Beta came to Adrian's pack to discuss a partnership. Just as I was about to present the project proposal, he pointed at me and shouted."Wait — isn't that Ethan? No wonder he hasn't been around Serena lately. He traded up to Adrian."His voice echoed through the conference room. Everyone turned and started whispering.Adrian's expression turned cold. He fixed the Beta with a hard stare. "He's my employee now. Show some respect."The Beta didn't care. He sneered. "Employee? No wonder the

I didn't know how long I was unconscious. Sometimes I'd catch the faint sound of someone crying.When I finally opened my eyes, the hospital ceiling stared back at me. Adrian was slumped over the edge of my bed, asleep. He clearly hadn't rested in days — the dark circles under his eyes were brutal.It was the first time I'd ever seen him this close. Three months of war had left him covered in scars. A mark ran along his left eye — not deep, not shallow — impossible to miss.I caught myself staring, and something I couldn't name swelled up from somewhere deep inside.He must've sensed me moving, because his eyes snapped open. The moment he saw I was awake, he let out a long, shaky breath of relief — and then fury climbed straight onto his face.Every ounce of worry he'd been holding back came pouring out. "Are you an idiot?! You just threw yourself at a blade — do you have a death wish? That silver knife was two millimeters from your heart! Two! A fraction more and you'd be dead!"The m

I moved back into Adrian's house. He still made me breakfast every morning, still drove me to and from work.What changed was that we'd steal kisses when no one was looking, and pour out everything we felt in the quiet of the night.We had a sweet stretch of time together.One day, the Moon Goddess's voice returned. "Congratulations — not only did you complete the mission, but you found your true love."I remembered how I'd cursed her every day when I first arrived in this world. Now, I was actually grateful. Without her, I never would've met Adrian.But something had always nagged at me. "Why did I succeed? Serena obviously never liked me."The Moon Goddess laughed mischievously. "I said you had to win over an Alpha. I never said which one. I just assumed Serena would be the easier target.""Didn't expect you to go and win over Adrian instead."So it really was that simple.Well, at least the ending was a good one. I smiled. "Thank you.""Don't mention it. I'm the goddess of werewolf
