Her Heartless Alpha

Mr and Mrs.

Isabella was all curled up in her bed into a ball under the sheets.

Zayn was finally gone, but now she's left to think about so many things, things that bothered her. The minute he had leaped back out of the window she had quickly moved forward and shut it back up, then she had taken off the bracelet and threw it across the room again.

So far, she had figured out that she's the Alpha's mate, but what confused her was if that MATE was Alexa, or her. Zayn had clearly been talking about her since he knows about her secret. He knows everything!

What would happen onwards now? Does this mean her cover has been blown away?

Remembering one more thing he had said, she picked up her phone and browsed on it. He had mentioned something about Adrian marking her, which she hadn't understood anything that it. From what she learnt, it was either he mated with her, or he bites her to indicate ownership. They've had s*x before...Well, partly.

But he's never bit her before.

' it'd hurt his dignity and pride' She recalled Zayn's exact words again. The mark bonds wolf mates together, even though it's just temporarily till the mark is renewed again. She's not Alexa, Why should she care about all this? It's not like she wants him to own her or anything.

She didn't sleep well for the rest of the night. No matter how much she tried to convince herself that she didn't care about anything, that it was all an act she's putting on till Alexa returns, that she's better off if The Alpha doesn't marks her... Something kept prickling inside her chest and a lump suddenly grew inside her throat.

Warm yellow rays of lights wafted in through the glass window with dust modes floating, suspended in the air. Beautiful, yet normal. But what didn't seem so normal was the woman who just laid there on her bed, looking like a log of wood with her big eyes wide open. She didn't even get a drop of sleep.

Bella threw the covers away and got up from bed, headed for the bathroom. She wore her slippers and walked in, picked up a brush, added some toothpaste on it and began drowning all her misery onto her teeth.

She looked like someone who had been sucked off her energy, and was just barely running the brush alongside the plane of her white teeth. Her face looked gloomy, and her hair was completely out of place. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, then sighed.

Why? Why did she have to fall in love with Adrian?

After that she took a quick shower and walked out of the bathroom. She would have loved to go and see Jess and Dave this morning in hopes that it would lighten her mood, but they must be getting ready to leave for school by now.

So, she collapsed back on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. She had a silly heart for doing this to her. She would have put up all her defenses when she was with him, but one look at him and they would all crumble into pieces. It must have started from the moment she had walked into his office and had set her eyes on him.

Love at first sight huh? Uggghhhhh...!! She began pounding on the bed in frustration. What was she even thinking? The man didn't like her back in that way, all he wants from her is sex...it's very clear. And if she's really his so called mate and felt that bond to her, maybe he would have marked her by now.

Whatever! She doesn't cares anymore. He can do whatever he wants.

The sound of her phone ringing made her pause. She stretched her arm and picked the phone from the drawer beside her bed, and looked at the caller.

Adrian Kingston, it said clearly.

Grunting, she picked up the call and placed it on her left ear, "Hello "

" Let's meet today. I have something to ask you"

" What is it?" She grumbled.

" It's what I want"

" Where are you now? At work?" She inquired to know where she was supposed to meet him.

Suddenly, a scream cut through the call so loudly that she had to pull the phone away from her ear before her eardrums get damaged. Panic kicked in when she realized something was going on around where he was right now, " Adrian, where are you? What happened? Who screamed??"

Silence. Low breaths came from the other side before he finally replied, "I can take care of myself. "

Ahhhhhhhh, He's an Alpha. " Sure you can, but where are you?"

Another silence. When she looked at the screen of the phone again, he had cut the call.

Soon, she was informed to come have breakfast at the dining table. And when she arrived, she was met with a face she had never seen before, a woman with short dark hair, and a face that almost resembled a doll. James was there also, and he was looking a bit grumpy.

" Hi" Bella said, taking her seat and feeling very awkward with the way the woman kept staring at her.

" Bella, Meet My mum Natalie Watson" James introduced, " Mum, this is Isabella Vaughn" He finished and plastered his attention on the breakfast in front of him.

"Oh dear, It's nice to meet you "

" Same here Miss Watson" Isabella replied. She wished the woman would stop gawking at her that way. Maybe it was because she looked so much alike to her daughter.

" My oh my, James told me you looked like twins but I was having a hard time believing him. I guess seeing is believing" she held her chest, looked between both of them " Wow, you're beautiful too"

" Thank you, and so are you Miss Watson"

Her hands immediately flew to her face, and she smiled brightly like she had just won some award, " Oh thank you dear, Such a sweet compliment from a sweet girl. James has told me a lot about you"

" I see"

" What about your parents?"

Isabella blinked. Didn't she just say James had told her about her? "They passed away about six years ago "

"OMG! I'm so sorry dear. What happened? "

" Miss Vaughn died in a car accident, and Mr Vaughn passed away in the hospital about three months later"

Bella must not have realized what she had said, till Natalie asked. Even James had raised his head from his breakfast in curiosity, "You call your parents, Mr and Mrs?? "

Isabella paused. She couldn't believe she had made that Mistake again " It's a habit " she replied simply, then began munching down on her food indicating that the conversation was over. She didn't feel the taste of the food in her mouth, everything just felt plain.

Mr and Mrs Vaughn. How unfortunate. The only good thing they ever did for her was giving birth to Jessica.

After she had eaten, she excused herself and took her plates to the kitchen. She didn't like remembering those people...It only makes her angry. The topic was sensitive to her. To her, those people aren't her parents and will never be!

She can never accept them.

Later that day when she was inside her room, a knock came from outside and when she opened the door, Miss Watson was the one on the other side.

"I'm about to leave, just came to see you one last time "

" Oh, So soon?"

" Well, I know someone who doesn't wants me here and has been urging me to leave since yesterday I arrived""

" James?"

" Forget about him. How have you and Adrian been?"

" We are getting along just fine. He has no idea I'm not Alexa"

She nodded softly, " That's very good. And I bet Alexa might soon be back to take her place. You just keep doing what you have to do"

" Of course. That's no problem" Alexa would soon be back to take her place??

"Great " the woman then gave her a look "Just one more thing " Slowly, Natalie raised her hand and placed it on Bella's cheek, looking her deep in the eye " Would you like to meet up sometime?"

That sounded gross to her ears, real gross. She gently pulled the hand away from her face " Have a save flight, Miss Watson"

" Adrian isn't easy to handle. Make sure you try your best to get past him still healthy and breathing okay? "

Bella could only nod.

It sounded to her like the woman was telling her not to die.

By three in the afternoon, Bella arrived at Adrian's house. She had first gone to his office, but was informed he left just a while ago so she had headed straight for his house. Surprisingly at the office, she had recognized his secretary, it was the same man he had been choking to death the first time she had seen him.

Bella walked into the house, and was about to go hunting around for him when a door opened to her right, and A man walked out of it. He looked up at her, then ignored her and began walking towards the kitchen.

He had flame red hair, and his eyes were sea green. His nose was just perfect, and so was the rest of his face.

Broad shoulders, tall and walked even more graciously than Adrian.

Holy hell.

Then, he stopped

" Who...are you? " Bella asked softly.
