Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Contempt flashed in Linda’s eyes. She arrogantly tilted her head, assessing me with disdain.

“I do not require your assistance; I prefer hers!”

Her scent was a potent cocktail of arrogance and open hostility.

My wolf felt a prickle of annoyance, but I suppressed the urge to unleash my own fury.

She pointed at me, pride shining in her eyes.

Her scent was sharp and challenging.

The young she–wolf selling the items appeared even more hesitant, her gaze shifting nervously between us; her paws fidgeted. The scent of her fear was strong.

I noted her discomfort and waved her off again. My wolf advised patience; this was a game of wills.

I said calmly, “Very well, I shall procure the new collection.”

My voice was even, my scent neutral, betraying nothing of my inner turmoil.

I addressed the she–wolf.“I am unfamiliar with the storage area; might you guide me?”

She visibly relaxed, signaling a colleague to attend to Emily and Linda, then hurried after me.

The relief in her scent was palpable.

Linda watched me go, a triumphant gleam in her eyes; she smirked, her scent a mixture of satisfaction and smugness.

Emily, feigning disapproval, concealed a satisfied smirk. Her scent betrayed her true emotions – a mixture of amusement and malice.

I returned, pushing a rack overflowing with clothing and accessories. The rack held a variety of garments, from ceremonial robes to casual wear. The she–wolf carefully carried several jewelry boxes.

Linda reclined on a plush divan, legs crossed, arrogance radiating from her. She lifted her chin and commanded, “She–wolf, bring me that crimson robe to try on.” Her tone was imperious, her scent sharp and demanding.

I smiled politely, taking the robe, shaking it gently, and handing it to her.

My wolf noted the subtle power play, the way Linda used her position to exert dominance.

“How does this appear?” Linda twirled before the mirror, smugness evident in her posture.“Does it not suit me?” Her scent was one of self–satisfaction, oblivious to the undercurrent of tension.

She shot me a challenging glance. I maintained a neutral expression, replying evenly, “The robe truly complements your scent remained calm, a carefully constructed mask.

Emily, sitting nearby, finally spoke after Linda had tried on several items. “Linda, cease troubling Isabella.”

Her tone sounded like a warning, but her eyes twinkled with malicious glee.

Her scent held a hint of menace.

She addressed me, “Linda is merely assisting you in boosting sales. You are not offended, are you?”

The question was laced with sarcasm.

I remained silent, my wolf patiently waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Linda, emboldened, pointed to an extravagant gown. “I wish to try that as well. Expedite the process!”

Her scent was a mixture of arrogance and impatience.

I silently retrieved the gown, maintaining a professional smile. My wolf was sharpening its claws.

Emily’s lips curled into a smug grin. She pointed to an expensive necklace and said softly yet authoritatively, “Isabella, would you assist me in trying on these earrings? I believe they will complement the necklace Alexander provided me.” Her scent was one of subtle manipulation.

I turned to retrieve the earrings and helped Emily put them on.

She looked in the mirror.“They truly match perfectly.”

Her scent hinted at triumph.

“Naturally. I selected them meticulously. Do you find them pleasing? You will purchase them later, won’t you?” My voice was calm, my smile perfectly formed. My wolf saw the flicker of doubt in her eyes.

Seeing my smile reflected in the mirror, she sensed a trap! But I turned to get accessories for Linda. Perhaps she misjudged me after all.

My wolf, however, remained vigilant.
