Her Heartless Alpha

Breakfast.

Isabella had been too sleepy to realize what the call was about, till it dawned on her. She almost screamed inside the bathroom, beginning to panic a little bit. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, panic still rising inside of her. Breakfast with Alexa's friends? Why??

"Breakfast with her friends? And I said yes? " Isabella grabbed a handful of her hair, looking devastated.

"Yes you did " A voice wandered into her ears. She simply assumed it was her inner voice replying her.

"What do I do? What do I do? "

That's right, an excuse! If she can't make it, she would have to come up with her excuse. Good thinking, inner voice! But what excuse would that be? There's a lot she could go on with right?

"I'm gonna feign being sick. I'll just tell them that I was busy yesterday, and I'm having a little headache. I am having a headache actually " Isabella said out loud again, beginning to feel hopeful. There's no one that doesn't gets sick right? They'll just have to go on with their breakfast without her. Isabella began giggling to herself, the perfect excuse!!

"Good, now just stay at home all day so I don't have to keep stalking you " the voice whispered again. This made Isabella paused for a second, she hadn't said anything about stalking anyone. With her eyes now wide open, and her senses completely alert, She realized that there was something insanely wrong with her. How is she hearing that voice that didn't even belong to her in the first place? Those were never her thoughts!

"Stalking...who? " She asked softly, looking around the bathroom for any sign. She looked around a bit, but couldn't find anything and after that the weird voice stopped, and she was able to use the bathroom in peace. But, she still felt insecure.

After that, she texted James about the breakfast invitation and he replied in less than a minute.

"Alexa would never miss it for anything. I'll call Nancy right away to dress you up! " He had replied.

Isabella did scream at that time, but she luckily buried her head on a pillow so most of the sounds were muffled. Several minutes later, Nancy arrived and picked out the dress she was supposed to wear to this breakfast they were making a big deal out of. Bella's eyes almost popped out of her socket when she saw the kind of dress she was supposed to wear.

It was only a breakfast, so why on Earth are they making her dress like she was going to attend some grand ceremony? She wanted to ask Nancy whether the dress was right, but she later decided not to.

Nancy was only her dresser. All her questions about be referred to James. So, she texted him again when she was done and almost ready to leave for the address she had been texted.

"If it's just a breakfast meeting stuff with friends, why am I being dressed this way? "

" Today happens to be a death anniversary of one of Alexa's Friends father, Connie Patrick...I told you about her before"

" Really?"

" So they gather friends and family every year to have breakfast in his memorial. I don't know why but that's how they do things there"

" But if it's a memorial, why aren't I dressed in black?"

" You'll understand everything better once you get there. No one wears black there. They mostly see it now as a special morning to pay dues, then have fun. I heard that Mr Ville lived like that when he was alive"

Bella dropped the phone when Nancy informed her that it was time to leave. It was only 7;35am in the morning.

She stared at herself once again in the mirror. The woman that stared back at her was putting on a crop top striped blouse, and a skirt that went with it. The materials seemed very expensive, and the designs on them were extremely stunning. White heels on her foot, and to top it all off there was a white soft jacket she had been made to put on, to cover some of her exposed skin.

Her blonde hair had been made to fall down her shoulders and back in curls.

"Where are you? " Nancy came poking her head through the door again.

Coming! " Bella smiled as she lead the way to the car that awaited for her. It wasn't the normal car that usually picked and brought her back...it was a white BMW! Just how far where they taking this little ' breakfast' of theirs?

It had to be a joke. She knew it was no joke when they arrived at the venue. They were having the event at the most expensive hotel in the city, and a whole floor had been rented just for that morning. The moment the elevator opened to the third floor, Bella's lips fell in shock.

The place resembled a big restaurant, with so many tables around the four walls. Waiters walked around with drinks on their trays, and many people had already filled their seats and eating the food served.

Just as James had told her, they weren't putting on black and it seems they were having fun. Everyone was looking so exquisite and super rich from head to toe.

On their way here, James had reminded her of the possible people she might meet in the gathering, apart from Alexa's friends. He even sent her pictures of them, and she had done well to memorize them. Now, all that was left from her to to behave exactly like the arrogant, pompous and proud Alexa would at these type of events.

She held her black designer bag with style, tossed her hair backwards, raised her chin and shoulders before she finally revealed herself to the room. The sound of her heels clicking was the only thing heard as she sighted her friends and made way towards her.

She even flashily picked up a drink from one of the passing waiters, twirling the drink in her hands before she got to her destination, a small smile on her face. She pulled out an empty seat, and sat down, placing her bag on her laps before taking a sip of the drinks.

Each round table was big enough to hold five people, and the other tables were already occupied with ladies she recognized from the pictures. They were also rich, daughters of top notch politicians and other men that ran their business across the country.

"So, you made it " Blaire Vincent was the first to speak. She didn't sound entirely Happy that she was here. Infact, all the girls could smile all they want but Bella could see the frown that laid behind it all. James already warned her about them, they didn't get along that well with Alexa.

"It would have been nice to Skip it though. I know lots of someone who would do anything not to see me show up " Isabella replied, taking another sip of her champagne.

"I guess you do know " Blaire said again.

" Of Course Blaire, I'm nowhere as dumb as you "

" What??" Blared flared

" Now now, We didn't invite any of you to come start up a fight here" Riley Kentucky said as she took a bite of her food. Everyone had one, but since Bella was just arriving hers was yet to be served.

" Let's talk about something else instead of fighting. It's my dad's memorial after all" Connie Patrick spoke. James and told Bella that Connie and Alexa had known each other for a very long time, going back to the time they were kids... but there were still a few dramas going on between the two women, so she shouldn't let her guard down for any reason.

"Yeah, The fights you guys have are usually amazing, but now it's just so boring " Emilie rolled her eyes biting down on her meat.

Just then, Bella's breakfast was also served.

"That's right. Let's talk about Money, or life...or uhhhhhhh, romanceee...! "

" That's right Blaire. I heard your dad's been making you go on blind dates. Tell us about how it went" Riley said.

Blaire frowned, " All a bunch of losers. They keep saying the same thing over and over again. 'You're my type, its fate we met, blah blah blah'. I still can't believe that damned old man would make me go on more than ten blind dates in a day!"

" Ten? He must really want you to get married as soon as possible then. But that's a bit too much for just a day"

" Yeah I told him, but he wouldn't listen to me. He's beginning to compile another list of eligible men in the state. He even said he would arrange some that aren't even in the country. Can you imagine??"

" My own prince charming left after my mum handed him a huge amount of Money to stay the hell away from her daughter. Now I hate my mum, and when I find him...He's gonna get what's coming to him" Emilie jabbed her plate with the last words, her eyes going a little Fierce.

All this while, Bella quietly concentrated on her food Hoping they would all keep talking till she was done and announced she's about to Leave, but Someone just had to look her way when she was only halfway done with her meal.

"It's very unlike you to be quiet, Alexa " Connie said, pulling everyone's attention back to her. Bella raised her head to stare at them, "Common, won't you tell us about your own love life?? " She placed an elbow on the table and palmed her cheek.

" Tell us yours first, and maybe I'll consider sharing mine too. If you're That into me giving you my own spices, drop yours first like the others did" Bella retorted. She could see a gleam in Connie's eyes, like she was trying to Target her or something.

"I'm sure mine is not as exciting as yours Alexa, after all I'm single, and loving it! " Connie picked up a drink and took a sip, smirking at the end of her lips.

From what she heard from James, Connie has had a crush on Adrian for as long as he could remember, and that was the reason why she was still single. She had this hope somewhere at the back of her mind that she would be able to make him hers. She was delusional.

If only Isabella could be herself around them, she would have been nice. But she has to be another person, and unfortunately that person isn't all nice!

Bella chuckled softly, shook her head and took a sip " loving it? Fine, let's go with that. I won't spill the beans on you that easily, but what I would say next might come as a shock, so brace yourself"

The four women gave Bella a curious look.

"I do have a boyfriend. And you all know him. "

" Who is he?" Emilie demanded, looking curious and excited at the same time.

Isabella smirked.

But Wait a minute, Is she really Adrian's girlfriend? Are they even in a relationship?
