The Alpha King is My Mate?

19

"Luna" one of the women cleaning up breaths with shock, they all of course knew she was there weeks ago but she hadn't interacted with any of them on a regular basis other than with Hunter and Jackson - if they did see her she was always with Hunter so they were apprehensive of approaching.

"Isabella... please" Isabella says trying to sound confident but failing miserably

"What can we get for you? What do you want for breakfast Luna?" another woman asks with the brightest, greenest eyes Isabella had ever seen

"Call me Isabella" she repeats as politely as possible "And I'm not hungry but could you point me in the direction of the coffee?" Isabella smiles awkwardly, she didn't want servants - she wanted a pack, a family.

"I could make it I-Isabella" the first woman pipes up straining to say Isabella's name like it pains her to say it

I'm not Voldemort

Isabella thinks to herself but she realised that in a normal pack the Alpha would usually be titled as that and not their name, it was even more important for them to do it for Isabella and Hunter because they were royalty but Isabella stuck by her guns wanting them to call her by her name.

"No honestly, I'd like to do it. I just need to know where to go" Isabella replies smiling, as nice as these women were she really needed to find pack members her own age because she gathered her and Leila wouldn't be sharing clothes and painting each others nails for a while.

"Louis can help you, he's a whizz in the kitchen and knows where everything is" a third older woman smiles nodding her head towards the extremely tall guy who was bent over the stove cooking

"Ma, I have to go and train" the man sighs turning round to throw a glare at the third woman who was apparently his mother

"You promised" she chuckles walking to his side

"Yeah and there always seems to be more people on my cooking day than any others at this time" he sulks but continues with what he is doing

"That because you're the best and they want your cooking before you go off and train - men have to take part too, not just women" his mother grin before pressing a kiss to his cheek before walking off

"Ma!" he yells wiping his cheek furiously but with a small smile on his face while Isabella just watches the scene with a grin on her face, this is how she wished her life had been

"I'm.." Isabella starts but he interrupts her

"Isabella, I heard" he smirks before wiping his hands on his pants before holding out a hand for her to shake which she does

"I'm.." Louis starts but Isabella interrupts him this time

"Louis, I heard" she smirks straight back

"I like you" Louis says before throwing his head back to laugh.

This friendship thing was a piece of cake.

In the end, Jackson - who had been running the training session - had to come in and drag Louis away from Isabella. They had an instant friendship connection and they had spent the best part of 20 minutes just laughing at each other.

Less than two minutes after Jackson had demanded Louis go outside to train (With a grin of his own sent in Isabella's direction as a sorry and a hello) Leila had appeared almost as if out of the shadows, like she had been waiting until she could get Isabella on her own.

"You said you'd tell me today" she  mutters from behind Isabella making her jump

"Oh... Hi Leila, um yes I can tell you but not here" Isabella shudders at the thought of the whole pack finding out about her past

"Lets go out and get breakfast" Leila says with a sweet smile, although Isabella had wanted to trust her there was something that stopped it

"I'm not hungry" Isabella muttered trying to unnoticeably look around for an escape

"Well I am" Leila smirks in a sinister way

"I'll go and tell Hunter then" Isabella says standing up but Leila grips her arm

"One of you ladies can tell him when he wakes up can't you? I knocked on the door before to tell him and he shouted at me, he's in a foul mood so don't bother him before he wakes up and comes down himself" Leila says shouting orders to the women and men left in the kitchen who nod numbly wanting to oppose but are too scared too.

Without an excuse not to go, Isabella follows Leila out of the house and climbs into the car beside her, something is telling her this is not going to be a normal breakfast.
