Novel & Cerita The Male Lead Won't Let Me Be

Fine. It was a kind of cold indifference, unlike anything he had ever encountered, one that treated him as if he didn't even exist. How dare I? Did I really think that just because my mind force was still useful to the pack, I could act with impunity? Once Yelena safely delivered the strongest heir, he would make sure I paid dearly for my insolence! With that thought, he dialed my phone, only to realize I had already blocked him. Beside him, Maddox tried calling as well and discovered that he, too, had been blocked.

“You’re his weakness. Funny thing about powerful men, they always think they don’t have one. And besides, I don’t see a reason why you will be with someone like him and not me.” My fingers curled in disgust despite the restraints. “No,” I said, firmer this time. “I’m not his weakness and there’s certainly no one I would be with other than Adrian .” There was silence then I could hear his mocking laughter. “I see, feisty huh? Well, let’s see how long you will keep this up.” He crouched slightly, bringing himself to my level. “Let’s see how he’s gonna rescue you before you become mine.” My stomach dropped, mine ? What does that even mean? Before I could respond, his phone buzzed.

The force pushed against him hard, his body tensing under the pressure. But he didn’t let go. Not even for a second. “Stay with me,” he said, his voice lower now. Closer. More intense. Lyra’s breath hitched. “I can’t control it…” “Yes, you can.” “No—!” “Yes,” he said firmly. “Because it’s not stronger than you.” Her chest tightened. “That’s not true!” “It is.” His grip tightened slightly—not painful. Just steady. Real. “You’re letting it control you.” “I don’t know how to stop!”

Why did everything he did make him look appealing? I wanted this man. It was evident from the way my heart and body reacted to him. But I was scared. All of this felt too surreal. What was he playing at? “Alpha, you can choose any other woman in this pack. Except for Lea. She’s my mate and the mother of my future children.” Adrian’s voice reached my ears. His voice had turned serious but there was a subtle hint showing how nervous he was. Manuel’s request must have taken him by surprise.

Since she was doing this, then she had no choice but to play as Sofia wanted. Before Zaria Smith could reply, her best friend shrieked, getting up from her seat--disbelief plastered on her face. The phone in her hand could fall to the table hard if it were not for Zaria Smith. "Why this bast*rd! Why directors have to select him as the Male Lead! Couldn't there be anyone else? F*ck me, I didn't even consider him in the lead candidate list when I even knew he is the real living example of that jerk." She muttered in disappointment.

she glances at her watch, “thirty minutes.” “Handled? What’s handled?” I glance at the screen. There, next to Male Lead, is a name I least expected to see, Leo. My stomach hits my shoes. I laugh — a sharp, ugly bark that bounces off the cheap office walls. “What is this? Some kind of joke?” Layla winces. Cara looks bored. “How? How is he the male lead?” Cara adjusts her cuffs, calm as ice. “He signed on last minute. Apparently his assistant submitted him when the studio was scrambling. He’s a draw, Sienna. He sells tickets. You know that.”

I notice him pat down his pocket, his phone is ringing but he ignores it. “I know all that and I agree that you’re right. The problem is that you didn’t talk to me first.You made the decision all on your own. Can you really promise me that registering me as the female Feline Alpha won’t have ANY impact on my life?” I demand. Bellamy hesitates and I spend a moment cursing the piercing sound of his ringtone. Bellamy lets out a defeated sigh. “Well… there is one thing, but. it’s not likely to happen!” He insists. I just glare at him and wait.

“And if you can’t understand that, maybe you were never meant to lead.” I clenched my fists. “You think I care about your version of leadership? I’m done being your puppet.” “Be careful,” he warned quietly. “You’re walking on a thin line.” “Then push me,” I said. “See what happens.” He grinned once more, that chilly contrived smile which had given my blood boil always. "You wouldn't dare cross me." "Try me." There was a silence between us, great and keen. He finally leaned forward. “You’ll marry Claudia. It’s already in motion. I’ve spoken to her father.”

Instead, he said calmly, "I'll give you ten seconds to crawl back to whatever cave you came from." The other man frowned. "We already apologized for blocking your way. Isn't that good enough?" "Nine seconds." The man lost his temper. "I'm not scared of you just because you have money! I'm here to kick some ass, and I don't care who I do it to! To me, you're no different than everyone else over there!" "Five seconds." "Alright. Looks like you're taking it the hard way. I gotta warn you, I used to be Trent's right-hand man. After he passed, most of them started to follow me instead. I—"

I try to break away but of course he doesn’t let me. “Let’s go.” Without waiting for me to acquiesce and in the middle of the dance, he whisks me off the floor, and I realize the whole time we were dancing he was leading me through the crowd and to the edge of the dance floor. Nicholas Hendrick is as calculating a man as any I know. “I’m not going anywhere with you. I’m done with men like you.” “Men like me?”
