Her Heartless Alpha

What do you know?

Isabella just sat down there on the rug, shocked, scared and worse, dumbfounded. Her brain was trying to process what he had just said, and she was already praying fervently for it to be a dream. He didn't just call her Bella.

He did not!

" Why are you so shocked?" He asked, watching her carefully

" I'm not obliged to answer any of your questions" She finally replied after a minute more of silence. She managed to get her bearings straight again and decided that she wouldn't talk about it and just believe that it was her imagination.

" I wonder, Are you still trying to be Alexa, or is this Bella talking?"

Her heart jumped a little, but she didn't give anything away this time " How about you take your nonsense and leave, or I am going to scream"

" Imagine what I would do to you if you even try that" The gleam in his eyes intensified, " You're going to end up in the hospital, and surely I'm gonna visit you there again so let's see you try to scream now"

She took a step back. He was being serious about this, she could see it clearly on his face. She thought about the action to take next because she wanted him to leave that second! Whatever he was, he needed to stay the hell away from her.

She watched as he fully jumped into her room, walked up to the bracelet she was flung away and picked it up between his fingers. The man was putting on a cloth with a hoodie, and black leather pants... but he wasn't putting on shoes and some part of his feet resembled scales.

He faced her again, " I brought you this gift" he extended his arm towards her, " Put it on"

" Just how stupid do you think I am? " She stared at the bracelet, then at the man who was holding it up. For starters, she didn't even know who he was, he's manipulating James or whatever, and there was this dark energy that surrounded the man whenever he went. It wasn't as strong as Adrian's, but it also gave her the chills. She doesn't knows him, she's only met him once, she could be in real danger for all she knows, so why is she still speaking? Trying to provoke him? " Zayn or whatever you call yourself, How about you come back here when the sun is out, then state your business because I don't know what your problem is. Has no one ever told you it is not proper to jump into a lady's room in the middle of the night and offer her gifts?" She was one step away from raising her voice at him, knowing there might be consequences " Leave now, I would like to go to sleep!"

Then, he c****d his head one side like he was carefully accessing her " You speak like you're not afraid of me. Such Courage" He chuckled, the sound made her cringe a bit, " No wonder you're his mate. I can see now why you were the one chosen out of so many"

" Yeah thanks. It's a pleasure actually" then she pointed at the window, " Leave, Now"

" He hasn't marked you now, has he?" The man just wouldn't give up. Actually, she has noticed the slight change in his body movements, and there was a way the look in his eyes usually changes whenever she talked back at him, but it would instantly dissapear again. Something told her he wanted to do something bad to her Everytime she did that, but he was holding back.

" Marked me?"

" Of course he wouldn't. A man like him would never do that, it would hurt his pride and dignity. I'm just so fascinated at how you've managed to keep him thinking that you're Alexa Watson all this time"

Bella could feel a beat of sweat rolling down her face, " And what is that supposed to mean??"

" Stop acting so tough. I hate it when people lie, and continue to lie. It makes me want to rip their head off and have it as my next breakfast" his voice so thick with deadliness

" Well that doesn't makes sense!" No no no no, she cried Internally. What does he wants from her exactly?

" Isabella Vaughn. I wonder what would happen to you when Adrian finds out you're just pretending to be someone else all for money. It would be the show of a lifetime don't you think?"

" What...do you know?"

" You worked as a cleaner at Adrian's company for years to help your Kid, and sister. But the money wasn't enough since your sister needed surgery so when an opportunity to pretend to be Alexa came knocking, Isabella Vaughn jumped at it with open arms"

By now, her throat had gone dry and there was even more sweat rolling down her back. So many things were running through her head. How did he know? What was really going on? Does he knows Adrian? Would he tell him about her? What would happen if he tells Adrian? Would Jess be able to get her surgery? Who was he? Why does he has scaly feet? Why does his eyes turn diamond blue? What does he wants from her??!

" These days, people would do literally anything for money, don't you think?" He continued.

" Just tell me what you want already!" She croaked out of her throat.

" I already told you what I wanted before, didn't I?"

Right, he said he would take away the Alpha's mate.

" What are you exactly? And how did you know about me?"

" Your scent is different than the others. Adrian's also lingers a bit as well" Zayn said, then he walked up to her, and wore the bracelet on her arm, " I just pity you a lot" he said once he was done admiring it on her arm, his gaze reaching up to meet hers.

He could sense her fear, her courage, her confusion.

Her heart was beating fast. She was still trying her best to stay on her two feet.

" But don't worry, it won't be as bad when you're finally with me." Then, he leaned in close till there was hardly any room between their faces. She wanted to punch him hard, and kick him, and tell him to get the hell out of her face. But, the next words he said almost made all her defenses crumble away.

" Just, don't die"
