All Chapters of The Pro Gamer I Ghosted Is My Fated Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The next morning, Mrs. Voss called us down for breakfast.Adrian sat across from me at the table, eating with slow, elegant precision. Even the way he held his fork drew my attention to his long fingers.I couldn't stop sneaking glances at him.The strange restlessness from the night before was gone, but the closer I sat to him, the sharper my senses became.I could smell cedar on his skin.It wasn't soap or cologne. It was his natural scent—the signature only another werewolf should have been able to detect.But that kind of heightened sense wasn't supposed to develop until after a wolf awakened.Mine hadn't.As if he felt me watching, Adrian looked up without warning and caught my eye. One dark brow lifted.My pulse stumbled.I looked away, but I could still feel his gaze on me. He didn't look away for a long time.“My mom makes the best blueberry pancakes,” Chloe said. “Try them, Evelyn.”I dragged my attention back to Mrs. Voss's warm smile.I had always been good with parents. Wit

It was my first time at Adrian's team facility.As a staff member escorted me toward the practice floor, I learned that Adrian and a friend had founded the organization themselves.No wonder he had always been so busy. Or why buying me every new skin had apparently meant nothing to his bank account.Some people really did live in a different universe.The elevator doors slid open with a chime.My eyes met Adrian's, and I stopped short.He stood in the backlight wearing his team's black jersey, his features harder and sharper than they had been at home.So this was Adrian at work.My heart clenched.He had apparently just finished a pre-match meeting. The coach and several starters walked behind him, still discussing strategy, but their voices lowered the moment he stepped into the corridor.Leadership seemed to sit on him as naturally as his own skin.The group fell quiet when they noticed me.One of the players gave Adrian an openly curious look.“Captain, who's this?”Everyone stared

Adrian sent me enough money to cover ten round trips to the training facility.I debated sending it back, but finally accepted it. Refusing again would only look suspicious, and it wasn't as though he would miss the money.Still, I couldn't understand why being around him made me so nervous.The second I stepped out of his office, every head on the top floor turned in my direction. I even caught a few whispers about what the famous Adrian Voss could possibly want with me.The attention snapped me back to reality.This was Adrian.He had spent his entire life being admired, praised, and chased. A man like that would never forgive someone who had lied to him and made a fool of him.If I couldn't face what would happen when he learned the truth, then I had no choice but to keep hiding it.It was dark by the time the car pulled into the Vosses' gated community.Adrian didn't come home for the next two days.Mrs. Voss said the Global Invitational was approaching, so he would be staying at t

Evelyn's POVAfter dinner, no one was ready to call it a night, so we moved to a cocktail bar nearby.The music was low, the lighting warm. For the first time in days, I began to relax.Several rounds into a game, the bottle landed on me.I considered truth or dare for two seconds before choosing truth.Mason was the one who got to ask the question.After a brief pause, he said, “When was the last time someone made your heart race?”I froze.That felt like a lifetime ago.But if I had to give an answer...“Six months ago.”Back when Adrian and I were still together.One night, he had been a few minutes late to our call because practice ran over. I pretended to be angry and refused to speak to him.He had been coaxing me out of my mood when someone on his end wolf-whistled.“Captain, are you sweet-talking that online girlfriend again?”“You've never even met her, and you're already volunteering to be her good boy?”Adrian's voice went cold at once.“I'm talking to my girlfriend. Why is

The words Fated Mate left me too stunned to speak.Unable to bear the intensity in Adrian's eyes, I looked away.“Even if you're right, it doesn't change the fact that I lied to you.”“I never said it did.”His voice was low.“I'm furious.”“I know.”“I spent six months wondering whether something had happened to you or whether I had been a joke to you from the beginning.”Each word landed like another stone on my chest.I drew a slow breath.“I'm sorry. I had just moved to a new city, and I was lonely. I only wanted someone to talk to. I never expected it to become so serious.”“Did you ever regret leaving me?”The question caught me off guard.His neck and shoulders went rigid, as though he needed the answer and dreaded it in equal measure.“You don't have to answer now,” he said quickly. “Go home and think about it. If there was even one moment when you wanted to come back, I can...”“Adrian.”I cut him off.Panic flickered across his face.“If you're about to give me an answer I do
