Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

“Isabella! Finally found you!”

A thunderous howl shattered the stillness.

I looked up to see Jared and Alexander striding towards me, their faces grim, their auras heavy with unshed rage. My gaze flicked to the Pack Council’s security rune, my demeanor calm, as if facing strangers, not my brothers.

My wolf felt the tension, but remained outwardly still.

They were furious. Caleb was ill; not only had I not visited his den, but they’d had to track me down!

A wicked gleam appeared in Alexander’s dark eyes as he focused on what I held, reaching for it.“You’re here for your competition entry, right? Hand it over!”

I deftly evaded his grab, raising an eyebrow.

“I thought you were here to ask me to visit Caleb.

“No,” I replied, my voice firm.

As I turned to leave, Jared blocked my path. Anger flashed in his eyes; his voice was low and accusatory. “Isabella, when did you become so heartless? Before, if Caleb was unwell, you’d make him broth, soothe his pains.

Now he’s collapsed, and you ignore him.

Do

have a conscience?”

A smirk touched my lips.

I lifted my chin, meeting Jared’s gaze, my voice icy.“You remember my kindness. But how did you treat me then? Now I refuse, and you blame me? Is that your pack law? Small kindness repaid with bitter resentment?” My wolf snarled silently, a low growl rumbling in
