Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155

I had Linda try on every single garment and accessory from the rack. Finally, she set down the last robe, her gare lingering on the remaining items, clearly wanting to try on more.

I caught the look in her eyes instantly–there would be no further opportunity for her to manipulate me.

So, I offered a smirk, dripping with sarcasm.

So, do you find these items agreeable?

Do not tell me that none appealed to you, and that you have no intention of purchasing anything.”

My wolf purred with anticipation; this was the moment of reckoning.

Linda’s anger flared. She stood, pointing at me.

“What do you imply? Do you look down upon us?!” Her scent was a furious concoction of rage and humiliation.

I remained calm, my smirk unwavering. Oh? So you are entirely satisfied?

Excellent, I shall prepare them for purchase.” My voice was even, controlled, my scent radiating confidence. My wolf enjoyed the subtle shift in power.

I gestured to the she–wolf assisting us.“Retrieve the carrying pouches; we are concluding the transaction.”

Linda froze, stammering. “W–wait, I never indicated that I intended to purchase everything.” She looked anxiously at Emily.

Her scent was a mixture of panic and embarrassment.

I said sarcastically, loud enough for all to hear, “What?

A lack of sufficient credit? Do you desire complimentary service?”

My wolf reveled in the public humiliation.

Boom.

The statement landed like a thunderclap.

Everyone nearby turned to stare.

The trading post fell silent.

While the Smith Clan’s high–end goods might not attract throngs of customers, the quality and clientele were undeniably elite.

They were too embarrassed to admit they hadn’t intended to buy anything!

I surveyed the clothing and accessories, my smirk cold and calculating.

“Even the heiress of the Miller Clan does not possess sufficient funds for this, does she? My wolf savored the moment.

Linda’s face flushed crimson; she stood, her claws tapping impatiently against the floor. You, a she–wolf of limited resources, lack sufficient funds! Emily is different!”

Her scent was now a venomous blend of anger and spite.

She looked at Emily. Is that not correct, Emily?”

Emily’s face darkened; she stared at the clothing and accessories, her claws tightening around her pouch. She had been so focused on humiliating me that she hadn’t considered the cost!

–

Her scent betrayed her distress a mix of fear and fury.

She couldn’t admit to insufficient funds; she couldn’t appear less favored by the Miller Clan. She couldn’t afford to lose to me!

Her scent shifted, a desperate attempt to regain control.

She took a deep breath, looking up. She couldn’t display weakness.

She gritted her teeth, her voice tight.“We will purchase them.”

Her scent was a combination of defiance and barely controlled fear.

“Anything else, esteemed guests?” my voice was sugary sweet, my expression a flawless smile.

My wolf enjoyed the theatrics.

“No!” Linda practically shrieked, glaring at me furiously. She felt I was deliberately inflating the cost!

Her scent reeked of anger and injustice.

“Very well,” I sighed, feigning regret. I couldn’t push the matter too far!

“The esteemed guests are checking out!” my voice was clear and laced with sarcasm. My wolf was triumphant.

I gestured to the she–wolf assisting us.

She was prepared, quickly approaching with the trading device.

She expertly scanned each item.

Linda’s face paled with each scan; sweat beaded on her brow; she fidgeted nervously. Her scent was a chaotic mix of embarrassment and rage.

“This haute couture gown,3.2 million silver coins.”

“This diamond necklace, 1.8 million silver coins.”

The she–wolf’s voice was even, devoid of emotion.

My wolf sensed Linda’s growing panic.
