The Alpha CEO's Mate Is Actually a System
Chapter 1 Transformation completed

"Congratulations, Host. Your life-changing mission is complete. You have successfully changed the illegitimate daughter's fate and can now return to your original world." After opening a portal to her host's original world, the system disappeared from the woman's sight. "Congratulations, Host. Your revenge mission is complete." "Congratulations, Host. Your fate has been changed. You are now the richest man in the city." "Congratulations, Host. Your 'Becoming the Most Powerful Queen' mission is complete. Now, nobody will look down on you." In the System World, she was known as the All-Knowing System, with the system ID 42F79052. She possessed more skills, knowledge, power, and wealth than any other system. Because of this, she had served thousands of hosts across different human worlds. That was her mission. She helped her hosts find love, become rich, defeat villains, escape miserable lives, get a second chance at life, and much more. She rewarded them with skills, money, and knowledge for every completed task. And she was perfect at it. After completing another mission, she pressed the Return to the System World button. Suddenly, all the engines began beeping. [Warning! Instability detected.] [Transformation will begin in a few minutes.] The system didn't understand what was wrong. She tried everything to fix her transportation engine until the Mother System appeared. [Save your strength, 42F79052. Your transformation is inevitable, and you cannot escape it.] With a straight, unreadable expression, she asked, [Transformation? Into what?] [Human. This is your personal mission now, 42F79052. Survive in the human world.] [Once you become human, you will experience emotions you have never felt before. There are many of them, but you will have to discover them yourself.] 42F79052 stared blankly as she listened. [This happened to the most powerful system decades ago, but she didn't survive in the human world. So, be careful. Once you transform, there is no turning back and no returning here.] After that, the blue light surrounding 42F79052 suddenly grew brighter. A notification panel appeared in front of her as she began to spin. Three different faces appeared on the screen. [Choose a human appearance.] Her mind became unstable as countless images flooded it. The missions she had completed for her hosts disappeared into darkness. She selected a random face, and everything went black. Then, she heard the Mother System's voice. [Transformation completed.] --- When she opened her eyes, all she could see was the dark sky. The only sound she could hear was the loud beating of... her heart? She slowly sat up and touched her chest, feeling her heart beating beneath it. She stared at her delicate hands, touched her smooth face, and quickly rose to her feet. I really transformed into a human? She opened her palm, and a hand mirror appeared in it. She lifted the mirror and stared at her new human appearance. She was beautiful, with a high nose and soft, rosy lips. Her long, slightly curly hair was black. She lowered her hand, and the mirror disappeared. Looking around, she realized she was standing on the rooftop of a very tall skyscraper. She walked to the edge and looked down. Tall buildings surrounded her, each glowing with lights. She stared at the view without much interest before looking farther down. With her hawk-like eyes, she could clearly see cars moving along the road. Traffic was heavy on one side, and people were walking along the pavements. I'm in an urban world. Most of my hosts came from worlds like this. Good. This should be easy to navigate. She walked toward the rooftop entrance and opened the door. After entering the elevator, she stared at the buttons. These look like elevator buttons. My 435th host became a wealthy CEO and used these buttons a lot. She pressed the button for the lowest floor and felt her body move. Interesting. This feeling is so foreign, but I can get used to it. Ding! When the elevator doors opened, she found herself inside a luxurious hotel. The floor gleamed, the walls were decorated with expensive paintings, and wealthy-looking men and women walked around. Her eyes turned blue as she scanned the people around her. Werewolves? These creatures live among humans in this world? She shrugged and walked outside, moving like a robot with no visible emotions. She came face-to-face with the road and the moving cars. Immediately, she stopped. For the first time in her life, she felt startled. A blue notification panel appeared in front of her. 42G89630? [Hello, 42F79052. The Mother System sent me here to help you.] [Do I look like I need help?] [Spare me. Of course, I know you're all-knowing. But do you understand human emotions?] [And do you?] [The Mother System gave me temporary knowledge of them. Don't worry. I won't mislead you.] [You dare.] [Fine, I wouldn't dare. You just experienced an emotion. It's called fear.] [Fear?] [Yeah. Remember this feeling. You'll experience it quite often. In a term you understand, it's called H435.] The system nodded and watched the cars speed past her, one after another. She remained still, experiencing the same emotion again. [Or should I teach you a few tricks for crossing human roads?] [Hold it. I can do it myself.] She stepped forward, but a car honked loudly. She immediately jumped back. After several minutes, she finally managed to cross the road and reach the pavement on the other side. Meanwhile, across the road, a black Maybach was parked by the roadside. A tall, incredibly handsome man leaned against it, holding a cigarette in one hand. He had been watching the system woman for several minutes, his eyes fixed on her. The system woman sat on a bench to process everything she had experienced. [42G, tell me about the woman whose appearance I currently possess.] [Glad to be of help, 42F.] [The woman whose appearance you currently possess is named Cara. She died a year ago. She was murdered by her fiancé and adopted sister.] [Murdered?] Cara sighed, then felt something touch her leg. Looking down, she saw a puppy licking it. Her eyes widened. She sprang to her feet and jumped onto the bench. The handsome man standing beside the Maybach watched her reaction, his lips curling into a smile. [Animal detected,] 42G announced. [I know,] Cara replied, staring at the dog as it barked at her. She lifted her leg and frowned. Feeling the same emotion her system colleague had mentioned, she raised a finger, seemingly ready to strike the puppy with her power. Just then, its owner appeared. "I'm sorry, miss," the woman said as she picked up the puppy and carried it away. Cara sighed and tried to climb down from the bench, but she lost her balance and fell backward. Caught off guard, she felt fear fog her mind. She couldn't use any of her abilities to stop herself from falling. But before she could hit the ground, a strong arm caught her by the waist. Her eyes flew open, and she found herself staring into the beautiful eyes of the man holding her. Her heart began pounding hard against her chest. Then, she heard 42G's voice in her head. [A new emotion detected.] [Love. In a term you understand, it's called ######.] Cara's eyes widened.

Chapter 2 Could she be the Luna

The guy straightened her up and sighed. He gently cupped her face, guilt written all over his expression. "I regret it, Cara. I regret leaving you with that jerk. I regret listening to you. You said he loved you, so why did he marry another woman?" Cara stared at him in confusion, gazing into his beautiful eyes. "Now you're homeless. Can't you come to me? Do you hate me that much?" [42F, your core is overheating. Are you sure you can still analyze this human? Should I help you?] She heard 42G's voice in her head as she continued blinking, still staring at the guy. [Okay.] Analyzing... [This human is named Draven Blackwood. He is the richest man in the city and the Alpha of his pack. If you want to survive in this human world, you really need to stick with him.] Draven stared at her. "Are you okay? Why aren't you saying anything?" [42G, I need a reaction. What should I do?] [Which reaction do you want? There are two options.] [Any reaction! Just give me one, or he'll take me for a fool.] [Option One activated.] Cara moved closer and wrapped her arms around him. Draven stared at her with wide eyes. He swallowed hard. Suddenly, she rose onto her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his. Draven's eyes widened in shock. She had kissed him! [42G, what kind of reaction is this? This feeling is so foreign.] [It's not my fault. You said any reaction was fine.] [All right, get out of my head. I'll take it from here!] Cara pulled away and lowered her head. 'I'm sorry,' she wanted to say, but no sound came out. Draven stared at her. 'She must be extremely sad. I'll give her some time.' He smiled and gently patted her hair. "It's okay. We can talk when you're ready. Come on, let's go. I'll take you home." He took her hand and led her toward his car. Cara stared at his hand wrapped around hers. 'So warm and soft.' The feeling was strange, but she liked it. He opened the passenger door, and she got inside and took a seat. He walked around the car and settled into the driver's seat. Cara stared at him. Suddenly, he leaned toward her, making her eyes widen as she experienced the emotion 42G had mentioned. [######### Love.] She blinked as he fastened her seat belt. He pulled back and started the engine. The ride was relaxing. Cara leaned back in her seat, feeling her eyelids grow heavy. 'No wonder my hosts grinned whenever I gave them a car. This feels so comfortable.' A few minutes later, Draven glanced at her and saw that she was asleep, her head tilted to the left. 'Elias Moon, you bastard! How dare you betray Cara? Because of you, she rejected me back then. You made her cry. You made her suffer, you worthless Omega! I'll crush you beneath my feet!' The drive was long, and they arrived at his mansion a few hours later. His assistant, Noah James, approached the car. He wore a black suit and had a cold expression on his face. Draven stepped out of the car and walked around to open the passenger door. He unfastened Cara's seat belt and paused, gazing at her face. 'She's so cute. Always so cute.' He kissed her nose and carried her in his arms as Noah shut the car door behind him. Noah bowed. "Alpha, you're back." "Why are you here?" Draven asked as he walked inside, Cara curled up in his arms. The maids and cooks lined up on both sides of the entrance and bowed. "Welcome back, Alpha." Noah followed him. "Something came up that I need to report to you." "Wait for me in the study." Noah nodded and walked away in another direction. Draven climbed the spiral staircase and slowly made his way upstairs to the master bedroom. The maids exchanged glances and whispered among themselves. "Am I seeing this right? The Alpha brought a woman home?" "Not only that, but he had physical contact with her, and now he's taking her to his bedroom!" "This is unbelievable. Could she be the Luna?" "Wasn't the Alpha waiting for his childhood sweetheart? Has he already changed his mind?" The butler cleared his throat, and they quickly lowered their heads. "You two, follow me!" He walked away, and two of the maids followed him. They entered the elevator. The butler pressed a button, and the doors slid shut. Draven's room was enormous and screamed luxury. It was decorated in black and white. He placed Cara on the bed and kissed her forehead. "Sleep tight, baby." He pulled the duvet over her and walked outside, closing the door behind him. --- The next morning, Cara's lashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes. She scanned the room before slowly sitting up. 'So, I really became human.' She spoke nonchalantly. She didn't panic. She wasn't the type to panic. 'So, this is what humans feel like after a good night's sleep. I'm full of energy.' She looked around the room again and noticed a huge framed picture of Draven wearing a black coat, with a large black wolf-dog sitting on his lap. 'What is my relationship with this Alpha human?' She waved her hand in the air, and a blue panel appeared in front of her. After studying it for a while, she waved her hand again, and the panel disappeared. 'So, this Alpha and Cara were childhood sweethearts. After he went abroad to study, her mother moved to another city, and Cara met the pack's Omega, who turned out to be her mate.' She nodded and stood up from the bed. 'Fine. Since I'm Cara now, her life and problems are mine from now on.' She walked out of the room, and her eyes lit up. Of course, she had seen many luxurious mansions where her wealthy hosts lived. She had even given some of them these mansions, but she had never seen them so vividly. The Alpha's mansion was the very definition of luxury. Her stomach grumbled. She stopped and touched her belly, unable to understand the strange new sensation. 42G appeared. [Another sensation. It's called hunger.] [Hunger?] [In terms you understand, it's 5^H^2.] 'Oh, so this is what it feels like. No wonder my 229th host was about to die of hunger before I met her. It turns out this feeling is awful.' She walked down the spiral staircase and saw the maids wiping the dining table while others mopped the floor. When they saw her, they began whispering. "Oh, heavens! She's beautiful." "Look at her fair skin and long hair. No wonder the Alpha is so interested in her." A jealous maid raised her head and stopped cleaning the table. She stared at Cara and scoffed, crossing her arms. "What's so special about her? She's only good at seducing men. She has no real power. To become the Alpha's Luna, you need more than just a pretty face." Another maid, probably her minion, nodded. "That's right. Just look at her. She seems clueless. She's probably just an ordinary wolf. Our Diana is much better than her. Diana can transform into a full grey wolf. That's rare and impressive." The jealous maid, Diana, tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. "Oh, you're flattering me. I admit I'm a good fit to be the Alpha's Luna, but nobody can compare to Felicia. She's the Gamma's daughter, and she's a pure white wolf." "That's right. She's definitely going to be the Luna. This girl is a nobody compared to Felicia. She's probably just a temporary fling." The butler appeared, followed by two maids carrying shopping bags. He frowned. "Are you slacking off? Stop gossiping and get back to work!" He shouted, and they immediately resumed cleaning. All this time, Cara had been standing near the staircase, listening to their conversation. Her hearing was sharper than a wolf's. The butler walked toward her, followed by the two maids. He bowed slightly. "Good morning, Miss. Please freshen up and have breakfast." Cara nodded with a cold expression and walked back upstairs, the two maids following her. She entered the room. The maids set down the shopping bags and walked out. Cara checked the bags and found them filled with expensive dresses. She walked into the bathroom and stared at the shower, soap, shower gels, and towels. She waved her hand, and the blue panel appeared again. [Showering methods loading...] Draven entered the mansion wearing a double-breasted coat and black gloves. The maids at the entrance bowed. He stopped in the hallway and turned to the butler. "Is she awake?" "Yes, Alpha. She woke up a while ago. I told her to freshen up and have breakfast. She's probably still in the shower." Draven walked upstairs and entered his bedroom. He removed his gloves and approached the bathroom. "Cara?" He knocked on the door but received no response. Worried, he opened it and slid open the glass shower door, only to find her unconscious in the bathtub. "Cara!"

Chapter 3 I will never abandon you

He rushed toward her, but when he realized she was naked, he quickly turned around. He swallowed hard and grabbed the white towel from the counter. Then, he took a small step backward. With his eyes closed, he turned toward her and bent down to scoop her up. He wrapped the towel around her and effortlessly carried her in his arms. He returned to the bedroom and gently lowered her onto the bed, only to find her eyes wide open. He was startled and stepped back. She glanced at her half-covered body before looking back at him. Her face turned red. [Another emotion detected. It's called embarrassment.] [In a term you understand, it's called...] [No need. I'm already human. I can feel it now. I'm not that clueless.] Draven stared at her. "Are you okay? You passed out in the bathroom." She shook her head. 'I'm all right.' Once again, her voice refused to come out. Seeing that she wasn't saying anything, he sighed and patted her hair. "Get dressed and eat something. Then, we'll talk. Or do you want me to help you get dressed?" Her eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head, still experiencing the new sensation. He laughed and walked out of the room. She sighed, stood up, and pulled the duvet over her body. She grabbed a shopping bag and entered the walk-in closet. Meanwhile, Draven was already seated at the dining table, reviewing a document with Noah beside him. He raised his head and saw Cara walking downstairs in a simple white gown and sneakers. Her long, beautiful hair flowed loosely down her back. She walked toward him, while Diana, standing in the corner with the other maids, frowned. Draven smiled and patted the chair beside him. Cara walked over and sat down. Her eyes were glued to the dishes on the table, and her mouth watered. She was extremely hungry. Noticing her gaze, Draven picked up the chopsticks. He lifted a flaky, golden pastry and placed it on her plate. She swallowed and stared at the pastry. He handed her the chopsticks, and she took them, attempting to use them. However, they slipped from her hand. Diana scoffed inwardly. 'She can't even use chopsticks? Seriously, what lowlife wolf did the Alpha bring home?' Draven glanced at Cara and helped her break the pastry into smaller pieces. She picked up the spoon within reach and ate the pieces one after another. He smiled, but he couldn't help thinking, 'Cara can't use chopsticks? I taught her how to use them for the first time in her life, and she'd been perfect at it ever since. She's so different now.' He studied her, deep in thought. 'The last time I saw her, she was telling me to mind my own business and leave her alone. But now, she hasn't said a word. She's so quiet and behaving strangely. Is she okay?' Cara moved on to the fluffy pancakes. She had no time to study anyone's reactions. She had seen countless dishes through the eyes of her thousands of hosts, but tasting them herself was a completely different experience. Within minutes, she had finished everything on the table. Draven smiled. "What a big appetite! Would you like some more?" She shook her head. He patted her head and poured some milk into his mug. "Here, have some milk." She took the mug and gulped down the milk. Draven smiled when he noticed a little milk staining the corner of her lips. He wiped it away with his thumb, and she experienced two emotions at once. [Love and embarrassment.] [42F, your core is heating up again.] Her system colleague said in her mind. [It's none of your business.] "Cara, let's talk," he said. She blinked. --- His study was even larger than the dining room and incredibly spacious. He took her hand and led her toward the sofas, then helped her sit down. He sat across from her and clasped his hands together. "Cara, I know you told me never to show my face to you again, but I had no choice. As soon as I heard that Elias had gotten married, I rushed back to the country." She stared at him without blinking. "He betrayed you, so I have every right to reclaim what was mine. I know it'll be hard for you to get over him, but I can wait. Can you give me a chance? I promise I'll treat you better." 'Get over him? I don't even know him,' she thought. Of course, her voice still refused to come out. When he continued waiting for her response, she simply stared at him. [42G, could it be that he can't hear my voice?] Cara asked her system colleague. [You need to master human speech. Otherwise, people will think you're mute.] Draven sighed and took her hand. Her heart immediately began racing again. 'So soft and warm. I love his touch.' Cara thought. "I know you're sad and devastated right now, but it's okay if you don't want to talk about it yet." She shook her head and began using sign language. Fortunately, she already had the necessary knowledge. She had once helped a mute host communicate with high-ranking officials, enabling her to pass her first interview before her voice returned. Draven understood sign language. "You want to write something to me? What happened to your voice?" She lowered her head and shook it. Draven felt his heart ache. 'Elias got married a year before I returned. Could my Cara have suffered so much that she lost her voice?' His hands clenched tightly. He stood up and walked to his desk, where he retrieved a small notebook and a pen. He returned to her side, sat down, and handed her the notebook. She took it, wrote something, and handed it back to him. He read what she had written, and his eyes widened slightly. I'm done with him, and I won't push you away again. Please don't abandon me. He stared at her and shook his head. "How could I ever bear to leave you? I will never abandon you." He kissed her forehead, making her heart race again. He studied her face and smiled. "Why is your face so red?" She shook her head and looked away. He chuckled. "Cara..." She turned back toward him. 'She probably lost her voice because of an accident. If I ask her about it, she might not want to talk about it. Maybe I should give her some time.' He gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Never mind. So, are you saying you've agreed to be my woman?" He asked, silently praying that her answer would be yes. She nodded, having no idea what she had just agreed to. His eyes lit up. Suddenly, he pulled her onto his lap, making her sit sideways as he smirked. His Cara had finally fallen into his trap. Cara could feel her heart beating so hard that she could hear it pounding in her ears. "Do you know how long I've been waiting to hear that answer from you, Cara? Now that you've agreed, you can't back out." His hands moved from her waist to her chest, and he cupped her left breast like a starving beast finally set free. She swallowed hard. The sensation was strange, but she liked his touch. He captured her lips and deepened the kiss. Cara's eyes remained wide open. After a while, however, the overwhelming sensation became too much for her, and she finally closed them. She had never kissed anyone before, so she was completely inexperienced. He pulled back and stared at her. "Baby, don't tell me you were with that jerk for over five years and never kissed him?" She shook her head, recalling Cara's memories. She knew that Cara and Elias had never kissed. He smiled. "Good! I hate sharing. These lips..." He traced the shape of her lips with his thumb, then squeezed her breast. "And your body are all mine." She swallowed again as he captured her lips and parted them, slipping his tongue into her mouth. Her eyes flew open. She could feel her head spinning from the kiss. Just as his hand moved toward the zipper at the back of her dress, someone knocked on the door, interrupting them.
