Elise stared at the screen, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. My Four Alphas was the same name as the book she had been reading last night. Yeah she had to be dreaming.
This was all in her subconscious mind.
"This isn't real…" Elise murmured softly, slowly lifting a finger to touch the blue screen in front of her.
It felt solid like she was touching her phone screen. As her finger pressed on it, the area shifted, turning multiple colors like a glitchy patch on a broken screen. It felt so real to be a dream.
Everything did, especially the pain wrecking through her body. But there was no way she could've transmigrated into some novel with a system.
Elise knew enough about isekai and system novels to know what was going on here. However, this never happened in real life. It only happened in fiction.
She pulled her hand away and whispered, "I'm going crazy."
[Player is not crazy… You have been transmigrated into the body of Elise Zhane, female lead of My Four Alphas]
At this point, her jaw was permanently stuck on the floor. She rubbed her eyes, not believing what she was seeing. Had she really transmigrated?
"No. That isn't possible." Elise murmured to herself. "I just need to go back to sleep and I'll wake up in my apartment again to the sound of my alarm clock."
[Player should pinch herself and face reality]
Elise narrowed her eyes at the new message. It seemed this system had a way with words. Still, pinching herself was one way to confirm if this was a dream or not.
She quickly pinched her arm, a sharp pain shooting up her arm. It looked like this was really all real. Which meant she was in for a world of suffering!!
How the heck did I get here?! Elise thought to herself. Wait no! That's not the issue…
She glanced over at the bed where that strange man was still sleeping. Whoever he was wasn't a good thing for her. What she needed to do was get out of this room and figure out what was going on.
"And keep away from those male leads…" Elise muttered under her breath.
[Player cannot do that]
Elise glared at the system before deciding to ignore it. There was no way she was going to deal with them. No way was she going to deal with suffering drama.
If she was stuck in this story as Elise Zhane, then she was going to have the wholesome life this character was meant to have.
With that in mind, Elise lifted her body up with a groan of pain and shuffled over to the clothes on the floor. She gingerly picked up the dress, seeing it was worse than she thought.
There was no way she could wear it. Sighing in frustration, she glanced around the floor, looking for any other possible clothing items that she could wear.
Sadly her bra and panties weren't spared either from whatever happened last night. However, she did find a white, button-up shirt by her clothes. Her guess was that it was the sleeping man's shirt.
Beggars can't be choosers I guess. Elise mused to herself as she donned on the shirt. It's better than being naked.
The shirt thankfully reached her thighs, covering all her important bits. Once she rolled up the sleeves a bit, she bent down to pick up the handbag.
Inside, she found an ID, some makeup, tissues, medication of some kind and a few cards and money. Pulling out the money, she began counting how much she had.
And just as she was counting the last note, a deep, groggy voice muttered, "What are you doing here, Omega?"
Elise stilled at the words, glancing over at the bed a few metres around from her. The man was sitting up, holding the side of his head as he groaned and glared sharply at her with red eyes.
Her breath hitched at the sight, recalling something about the book. Only one character had red eyes, dark brown hair and said those familiar words to the original female lead.
Dante Wilson - the first male lead of the story.
Which meant only one thing. This was one of the first scenes that happened in the book where Elise was drugged at a party, causing her to go into a mini-heat.
She escaped the party and was on her way to her hotel room where a trap lay for her when the original owner bumped into Dante instead. Her pheromones caused Dante to go into a mini-rut and they ended up in his hotel room.
He assumed she came onto him on purpose, causing the first misunderstanding between them. It would take some time before Dante would learn that Elise was drugged by her family, hoping to get her into bed with another alpha.
But it was too late by then.
Their relationship had festered up too much hatred and Elise died before Dante could begin groveling for her forgiveness on the way he treated her like some gold digger omega.
I have no plans to go down the same path as the original Elise. Elise thought to herself. Better to cut things off here.
"Seems I accidentally sent you into a rut after I was drugged by someone." Elise murmured coldly. "I won't cause you any more trouble, so let's forget this happened. You can have this as a token of my apology."
With those words, she tossed half the money she had at Dante. He gazed at her in shock, clearly not expecting her to throw money at him, and Elise took this chance to get out of the hotel room.
There was no way she was going to involve herself with that man, so as much as she didn't want to part ways with her money, she felt it was for the best.
She wanted him to think she thought he was some random nobody that got caught up in something he shouldn't have. Which was somewhat true.
And now she was paying for his silence, wanting them to never see each other again. Plus, it helped that the shock of getting money for sleeping with her would give her a chance to escape.
Elise smiled at the thought as she ran through the hotel corridors, ignoring the raised eyebrows and gaped mouths of people she passed. She had no time to think about what others thought of her.
Her first job was to find some proper clothes and then figure out what she was going to do next.
