Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 76 - Seventy-six : The Alphas

Maya's POV

Annabelle's scream was so loud that I had to shield my ears with my hands. Then before my very eyes, she jumped on Pedro with a surprise hug , knocking him over in the process while screaming,

"Big brother Pedro !"

"Big brother Pedro ?! " Izzy and I chorused at same time with shocked expressions.

After recovering from the shock, I helped Pedro to his feet after Annabelle got off him but still staring at him with this excited twinkle in her eyes.

"How do you two know each other? " I asked genuinely surprised, I never thought the both would be acquaintances.

As usual Annabelle was the one to explain " We both met at this after-party at the Alvin and the chipmunks premiere in France.There was a competition held for kids and Pedro and I happened to perform the same song and dance "

Then she moved towards Pedro and asked " You still remember that song brother Pedro ,

'Gotta love Cheese balls, ah, ah, ah, ah, get in my belly , Cheese balls, get in there, ah, ah, ah, ah ' "

Annabelle reminded him and before my very eyes, these kids started singing and performing these choreographed dance and it was quite hilarious considering the way they were both moving their butts and all.

I was happy the kids were having a good time - well not everybody considering the fact my eyes mistakenly zoomed in on Izzy - her expression was deadly.

Her amber eyes had darkened and her features stony as she shot Annabelle an intense glare.

Wait a minute, was she jealous? No way !

Oh no, I realized at once. Izzy was as possessive as her father and if I was right, she had clearly marked Pedro as her's and I came to an startling conclusion : Isabella is an Alpha female

If there was one thing that stood out with Alpha characterised people, It was definitely their extreme possessiveness and dominance. I massaged my temples, It's going to be one hell of a bumpy ride training this girl up - what have I gotten into.

I have quite enough headaches handling Niklaus and now I have another alpha on my plate and not only that, but an alpha who would probably murder her niece if I don't do something at the moment.

"Pedro " I called , successfully tearing away his gaze from Anabelle " You never told Izzy about that? " Isabella was truly startled but at lest her murderous expression softened.

Pedro scratched his scalp awkwardly and put on a sheepish grin " It wasn't exactly that fun but we might go there one day if you want to, albeit for another animation probably? "

But Izzy rolls her eyes skyward and snorts "Pfft, me? go? thanks but no thanks " She shot an eyebrow " I don't do childish things "

So he suggested instead " Perhaps, we go for a movie instead? "

This time I noticed Izzy's interest was piqued cause she cleared her throat and asked " Are you suggesting we go to a cinema? "

Pedro lit up " You want to go to the movie theater with me? "

"You were the one who said so " Izzy clarified and I shook my head, tsk tsk, she really knows how to turn the tables on somebody.

"Sure, my mom wouldn't have a problem with -"

"And I'm sure my dad wouldn't have a problem with that either " Annabelle chimed in and I was about to say a silent prayer on her behalf when Amanda arrived and salvaged the situation, barely.

"Breakfast is ready " Amanda announced and I quickly urged the kids to the dinning room before someone receives a tongue-lash of the century. Little did I know the main war was going to begin at the dinning table.

As usual the ever cheerful Annabelle was the first to arrive and push out a chair which she easily slide into and sat down awaiting the others.

I dragged out the head seat and sat down while Isabella sat opposite Anabelle and since Pedro was the last to arrive, he had yet to choose a seat.

He was still standing and contemplating where to sit when Annabelle pulled out a dinning chair and tapped it with a smile saying " Brother Pedro, come and sit with me "

My mouth quirked as I watched Izzy who was with a blank expression on her face watching Pedro who sauntered towards Annabelle. But just as he was about to sit down, three clear words were heard

"Pedro. Here. Now "

I've always wondered what's so scary about Izzy? was it her voice? gaze? aura? but I've come to realize that Izzy is equivalent to a Grimreaper , the girl was never an angel and would never be one, probably everyone knows that which is they steer clear of her. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Pedro was struck dumb for a while before his feet quickly drove him towards the seat Izzy had set aside for him.

Even Annabelle was dumbfounded too, she probably couldn't understand why Isabella was too possessive of this boy.

Well she wasn't the only one , I was too. I've thought of many reasons but it doesn't seem to make sense, there was no way , period.

There was so much tension at the table that even a knife could slice through it, so I cleared my throat and said a short prayer for the food.

" Dig in " I said to the kids after I was done but no sooner had the words left my mouth did Anabelle grab the bowl of meat and said " Brother Pedro, try this beef, they taste awesome "

She tried to add some meats to his plate but Izzy stopped her progress with a swipe of her spoon as she glowered " What do you think you're doing? "

" Can't you see I'm trying to feed him ? " She sassed back

Even if Anabelle wasn't smart as a whip , she was a human with feelings and was bound to notice sooner or later that Izzy was intentionally sabotaging her every actions.

But Izzy's expression?hardened as well asking,

"Are you just dumb or don't you know that eating beef products is a good way to expand your waistline and increase your chances of becoming impotent and developing?heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and other health condition?"

Annabelle was stupefied, the bowl almost slipped from her hand had I not taken it from her in time.

Now speak of Izzy, how did she even know all this?

"B-but I eat it everyday and nothing happens, besides Dad said it will make them grow up big and strong - " Annabelle tried to defend herself but as usual, Izzy didn't let her recover one bit.

Suddenly I saw a sinister smile curl up Izzy's mouth. Uh-oh, this is not good.

"Then my dear cousin, you are on your way to an early grave cause red meat eaten in large quantities is closely related with higher levels of colorectal cancer. Meaning , death ; bye bye Annabelle "
