Novel & Cerita I Adopted The Male Lead

“Lucas, remember this. You’re Lincoln Barner’s son. “No one gets to take your mother’s house. “And no one gets to put you through this and walk away from it. Your father will make it right.” The tears finally came. “Dad… I’m sorry.” “Don’t apologize.” His voice shook slightly. “As long as you’re okay, nothing else matters.” Two hours later, a black sedan with military plates pulled up in front of me. A young officer in uniform stepped out. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a major’s insignia on his shoulder. He came to attention and saluted. “Mr. Barner, I’m Major Daniel Leedon. Commander Barner sent me.”

Breaking News: Rumour confirmed. The Male Lead of the highly anticipated adaption of the famous novel is Malcolm Augustus. Star Entertainment too has confirmed this news and requires lots of support from the fans and readers. The worst came true. The exhilaration and anticipation she had for the movie– it was as if someone had poured cold water on her head. Malcolm Augustus was the Male Lead of her favourite novel, the one she was looking forward to seeing in the movie theatre. Now she had to watch his annoying face on that big screen.

He felt the instant, unbreakable soul-tether of a father locking onto his true, legitimate heir. Marcus raised his massive, blood-stained right hand, his knuckles tightening as he stepped toward the dying boy on the floor, his expression a mask of unreadable stone as he prepared to make the final judgment on the son who had betrayed him—unaware of the catastrophic lie that bound them all.

While Alpha Leif and my parents scrambled to control the damage, the video unraveled their version of the truth. The storm of fury that followed was like wildfire. "This doesn’t look AI-generated at all. Delete it if you want—I've already saved a copy!" The Graves and Lovell Packs had been protecting their adopted daughter all along. "I always found it strange... their own biological daughter suffered through something horrific, yet they only let the kidnappers serve a prison sentence?" Not just that! They even forced her to attend the wedding. She had just survived hell, only to watch her sister marry the man who was meant to be hers.

"Garrett, don't joke around like this. It's not funny." "I'm not joking." But Garrett shook his head, his tone completely serious. "Sage, I'm not joking. You were too young to understand before, but I was adopted into your family. I'm not your biological brother." "What?" I whispered. "My father was the old Alpha's Beta who died protecting pack resources during a rogue attack. Your father took me in when I was seven years old. I've been so good to you all these years—did you really not notice that besides sibling affection, there were other feelings?"

Adrian’s alma mater was kind enough to allow the shooting of the campus, along with some classrooms and everything. I chose it because Sebastian -- the origin of my male lead in the story -- also went here, along with Ava and me. This is where our story happened. Adrian taunted me about this choice, thinking I was making my dream of a happy ending with Sebastian come true in my movie. A girl saved by a boy, ended up getting into a sweet relationship with him before entering a happy marriage. He was wrong. I’m not the origin of the female lead in the movie. Ava is.

I’ll see you later. I ended the chat and dropped the phone onto the table, heaving a long sigh. I had just lied to Bella. But then, I really couldn’t have slept with Aiden without remembering it, right? I grabbed my phone and stormed out of the office, heading straight to the audition. What I didn’t know was that Aiden would be there too. Not just as another actor—but as the male lead. And guess who landed the female lead? Me. A perfect match, right?

I stand my ground, silent and resolute, letting Adam take the lead. Adam’s decision is final. He doesn’t waver, doesn’t show any sign of reconsideration. The stern expression on his face tells me that he has made up his mind, and there is no going back. His decisiveness is almost frightening in its clarity, but it’s also oddly reassuring. For the first time, I see him standing up not just for me, but for the respect and dignity I deserve.

"Tell me what the hell you are." Tear tracks still streaked Maisie's face. She went rigid at his words. [Holy crap! When did the male lead become awakened?] [Wasn't this supposed to be a low-level world? How are the NPCs all developing self-awareness? Even with Maisie's sky-high charm stat, the male lead still broke free of it?] [This was supposed to be an old-school fluffy romance. How did we end up with the male lead pointing a gun at the female lead?]

I was once a student at a prestigious academy, a loser, the adopted son of a billionaire, and a hidden Omega. Then, I was a soldier, an estranged adopted son of a moderately wealthy but estranged family, a lieutenant in special forces, and a very confused Beta who had been forcibly transitioned from an Omega. Two pasts that came one after the other. Both of them were me. And somehow, both of them found their way to one guy who managed to turn both their lives upside down. Adam Kennedy. The guy I fell in love with twice over, both for the first time.
