Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Jared’s outburst startled the butler. He instinctively explained, “Miss Miller didn’t ask for it; it’s Second Master…”

“I swear, my brother has lost his mind!” Jared’s eyes were bloodshot; his wolf snarled silently, a raw, possessive rage. He stormed upstairs, the wooden stairs groaning under his heavy paws. My wolf felt a tremor of fear. This was not the calm, collected Jared I knew.

Emily, at the bottom of the stairs, softly tried to dissuade him. “Jared, Caleb is ill; don’t argue with him…” But her steps were slow; she wasn’t truly trying to stop him.

My wolf felt a pang of something akin to pity for her.

Jared shot her a glare, his voice sharp, “He’s taking things from you; are you still sympathetic towards him?”

Emily lowered her head, appearing resigned.

Those were Isabella’s things…”

Jared reached Caleb’s door, pushing it open with a violent shove; the handle slammed against the wall.

“Caleb! What’s the meaning of this? Those were things Isabella gave Emily; why do you want them back?!” His voice echoed with anger, raw and untamed. His wolf was clearly in control.

Emily, hands clenched, listened silently.

My wolf felt a strange mixture of apprehension and anger.

Caleb, pale and with dark circles under his eyes, sat on the bed. He was silent for a long moment, then said wearily, “Maybe we were wrong, Isabella…”

Jared interrupted coldly, “She’s a cold–blooded, ungrateful she–wolf! Ruthless and unfeeling!” His fists were clenched; his nails dug into his palms. His wolf’s aggression was palpable.

Caleb frowned, his gaze stern.

Jared, have you forgotten how much Isabella contributed to your scouting team?”

“But she left!” Jared gestured wildly. “Do you know how much trouble that caused me! If it weren’t for Emily, I wouldn’t know what to do!”

Caleb frowned disapprovingly. “Isn’t that because you attacked her first? And Emily took…”

“Enough! Caleb, have you lost your mind from your illness?!”

Jared’s eyes were bloodshot; he approached Caleb aggressively.

“Is Isabella the only one who made healing broths for you? Emily has done it, too. How do you think that makes her feel?”

Caleb’s face paled further; he leaned against the headboard, his voice weak yet firm.

“Emily is sensible; I know that. But…”

He paused, a hint of pain in his eyes.

“I only learned today that Isabella’s broth cost three thousand silver in herbs daily and took six hours to prepare. She never mentioned the hardship…”

“Ha!” Jared sneered.

You believe everything she says? Three thousand silver a day? She’s full of lies, not a single truth! She’s been without her allowance for ages; where’s she getting that kind of silver for your medicine?”

“What?” Caleb sat up, shock written all over his face.“She has no allowance? How is that possible? Doesn’t everyone in the family receive a stipend?”

Jared snorted.“Caleb, don’t you remember? She was punished for attacking Emily.”

Caleb’s expression was even more shocked; his lips trembled.

My wolf felt a chill of fear for him.

Jared said disdainfully, “She doesn’t have that much silver; so she’s just lying to you!”

“How long ago was that?” Caleb’s voice trembled.

“Hasn’t she received any since?”
