Her Heartless Alpha

You are Crazy.

" Who are you?" As far as she could remember, Adrian had told her that he was living alone.

The stranger had stopped, but he wasn't even minding her. His attention was on the device he was operating in his palm. He looked so engrossed in what he was doing, she was beginning to doubt whether he was aware that she was standing right across him.

She tried again, "I came to see Adrian, but I've never seen you here before "

Finally, he spared her a glance. It was the weirdest thing that had ever happened to her. He gave her a sharp look, and it was as if something just stung her from out of nowhere. He had this bland look on his face, he was even much more harder to read than Adrian...His eyes remained on her face for about two seconds, before he took them back to his phone and walked off into the kitchen.

" I see you've met my guest"

Bella looked up to see Adrian walking down the stairs. His hair was wet, and he had a towel around his neck. She wondered if he looked more gorgeous with dried or wet hair.

"Who is he? " She asked.

"Someone of not much significance compared to me " he replied.

Just how great does he views himself? She asked herself as she shook her head. He took a seat on the couch and so did she. Once again, she looked behind her to see if the man would walk out of the kitchen. When she turned back to the man in front of her, he was glaring.

"You haven't told me the unusual thing that happened to you? " He went straight to the point immediately.

" You called me here to ask me that?"

"Is there any other reason for me to call you here? " He questioned. There was zero softness in his voice, infact it sounded as hard as a rock. It seems he just wants to jump into business, no time for play.

"I guess not " She was more dissapointed in herself for expecting something from him. What is she? Ten or something?

"You know, I don't like repeating myself over and over again. " He gave her a glare that had her swallowing. Why does he has to be this hard on her? What happened?

' it'd hurt his dignity and pride'. Why was she suddenly remembering those words again?

She decided to shove the thought down her mind and try to lighten his mood a bit. Her lips stretched into a smile, and she leaned in playfully, "you know, you haven't yet told me where you were when someone screamed? What has this Alpha been up to these days huh? Hunting? " She said in a loud whisper.

He didn't even bulge, instead his voice took on a harder edge and the next glare he shot at her direction made her jump a bit, "You... " His voice came out warningly.

It wasn't enough to stop her, " I told you before didn't I? There's nothing you can do that would scare me. I'm no longer afraid of you, so go ahead and glare all you want. Change your eyes into those red colors, and you can even transition into your wolf form. Adrian, you can try all you want but you don't scare me and till you are yourself again, you're not getting a word out of me!"

She crossed her legs and gave him a bold look, shrugging like she didn't care.

" Till I'm myself again?" He placed both elbows on his laps, and leaned his upper body forward, then he arched a brow questioningly, "It seems I've been giving you the wrong impression these past few days right? As from now on you'll get to know the real Adrian Kingston, and you would learn what real Fear is" His voice was so dark, and lethal.

Bella was quiet for some seconds. He was being serious. He sounded like a real devil, and her insides were currently summersaulting.

" I'll ask again for the last time, Did something...or someone unusual come to see you?"

" If only you could read minds, then you would have been able to extract the answers yourself. How unfortunate, Oh great Alpha!" She retorted, feeling resented. He could try all he wants, but she wasn't afraid of him. The slight change in heartbeat was more than normal, and her legs weren't even trembling, not even a bit. He can't get answers from her by acting like this,and even if he wasn't this way...she doubted of she would still tell him anything.

Not when the person involved knows about her secret.

She can't get exposed now. Alexa isn't back, and Jess hasn't gotten her surgery, she just needs to hang in here for as long as she can.

" If you need to know that badly, nothing unusual happened to me. I just don't understand what's happening to you, guess that's what making me a bit shaky "

She thought about picking up her bag and walking out of his house right this second, but... another part of her wanted to stay. She was in love with this man, and she wanted to stay with him. She wanted to hug him again and just stay like that for as long as it takes, but he wasn't in the mood.

At the end, she did pick up her bag but headed the opposite direction of the door. She walked into the kitchen, where that weird good looking man had earlier went into, found him leaning on the wall still operating his phone, ignored him and walked up to the fridge and picked up an apple.

Before she could even take a bite, a strong arm grabbed her from behind and pulled her along with him. She dropped the apple and her bag and she fought to make him let go of her.

" What are you doing? Let me go this very second!"

He flung her carelessly back on the couch she had stood up from, and then his hands were already wrapped around her neck as fast as lightening. This time, he didn't care to hold back on her...he began squeezing the life out of her.

Isabella couldn't even begin to fight back. She could feel her light slipping away, his red eyes watching her intensely. She couldn't breathe, there was this nerve wrecking pain running from her neck through her entire body. Does he wants the answers that bad? Going so far to even hurt her? He really is the devil.

The heartless devil he told her he was.

Weird, even on the verge of death she didn't still believe him. Everyone has a heart.

"I hope your problems would be solved when you kill her " Came a deep voice from the other side of the room.

" Shut up Zach!" Adrian snapped behind him, then he looked back at the almost motionless woman he was trying to kill.

Almost... motionless?? His hands trembled for a second, and something unfamiliar gripped him Like a vice. He had realized what he was doing, but realizing again must have done something because his grip lessened, and he was about to curse at himself when her small weak arms came around him, and she pulled him into her arms.

His eyes flew open in shock. Just...Who is she? He had clearly just tried to kill her for making him repeat himself and for walking out of him. He had Showed her no mercy when he began choking the life out of her, he had seen her eyes turn watery and red and big, pleading with him to let go. He had done all that to her, and instead of her to push him away and take off, she...she...

" You're clearly the one who's being disturbed." She managed to say with a burning throat, then she laughed, feeling silly and bad at the same time.

" Why are you so stiff? You need to be calming down sometimes, you know that right? " She continued, while gently patting his back with a newly found strength.

" You're Crazy " Was the only thing he could say.

She laughed again. Yeah, she's very crazy.

That anger he had succumbed to had suddenly dissipated and the longer he stayed in her arms, the more unacceptable it felt to him. He pulled away by himself, then he turned around and went straight to his room.

This woman, this mate, She was definitely a handful.

Even for him. He recalled the call he was having with her this morning, where he and five Gammas of his pack where down the lane getting on with the investigation, while he sat down alone far away from them. There had been a scream from a bit far away, something that anyone around him-a human wouldn't be able to hear with their ordinary ears.

It was definitely too far to be heard. But, She had heard it.

And now, and now...She does what? He was beginning to doubt if that woman was really human, she wasn't even that scared of him anymore.

She's really, really a handful. Maybe that's why she was chosen to be his mate, but too bad it's not going to work out that way for any of them.

Even before he got to the room, he knew a message was waiting for him there. At last, one of his Gammas has found something useful. He fisted his hand, thinking once again about the enemy. All he has to do is to get his hands on the person and it's automatically game over for him, but the person was too careful to be caught that easily.

All Adrian knew so far was that The enemy was a Shapeshifter, and he must have found the one thing that Adrian himself has been searching for, just that right now it wasn't in good hands and needed to be retrieved back.

Getting to the room, a piece of paper had been placed just by the window. The words were written in blood, and it read, "......"

Once he was doing reading it, he leaped out through the window.
