Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

“This limited–edition accessory set,980,000 silver coins.”

The she–wolf’s voice was neutral, but my wolf sensed Linda’s growing panic.

Linda’s eyes widened; had she truly tried on so many items? Her heart pounded as she surveyed the array of goods around her.

She wanted to refuse, but with so many witnesses, she was paralyzed.

Her scent was a potent blend of fear and humiliation.

“The total is twelve million silver coins,” my voice was cold and precise.

“Credit or clan payment?”

My wolf basked in the power of the moment.

Linda’s legs weakened; she nearly stumbled. She looked at Emily, her scent pleading for help.

Emily’s face turned ashen; her claws were white from gripping her pouch. She had already transferred her funds–there was no way her clan credit could cover this. Her scent was a sharp mix of panic and betrayal.

I stood, cold and impassive, my gaze fixed on Emily. A smirk played on my lips as I said, “What? The heiress of the Miller Clan cannot

afford this?”

My wolf’s satisfaction was palpable.

Emily bit her lip, anger blazing in her eyes. Her scent was a volatile blend of fury and desperation.

Just as she was about to respond, her communicator buzzed; it was a video call from Alexander; her eyes lit up as if a lifeline had appeared.

ངས་

Her scent shifted, a desperate hope replacing the previous despair.

‘I must answer this,” she hurried out of the trading post, her claws clicking against the stone floor.

Linda attempted to follow, but the she–wolf assisting us quickly blocked her path. “Miss, the transaction has not yet been completed.”

“Move aside!” Linda stamped her paw, her scent a volatile mixture of frustration and anger.

But the she–wolf remained resolute; other she–wolves also arrived, forming a barrier. She craned her neck, worried that Emily would leave without paying, leaving her to bear the humiliation alone.

Emily reached a secluded area, answering Alexander’s video call, her voice laced with despair.

“Alexander, I encountered Isabella. She saw the necklace you gifted me and desired it. I refused; then she…”

Her voice broke; she paused, allowing Alexander to imagine the details.

Her scent was a mixture of tears and desperation.

“Is she causing you difficulty?” Alexander’s voice was chillingly cold.

His scent, even through the communicator, was menacing.

Emily bit her lip, tears welling up; she remained silent; this enraged Alexander further.

“It is not Isabella’s fault,” she sobbed. “It is mine. I observed Isabella working for the Smith Clan; I wished to support her. But… my funds

are insufficient…”

Her scent was a raw expression of vulnerability and shame.

“Did she defraud you?” Alexander’s voice was icy.“How much? I will transfer the funds immediately. My sister will not be subjected to

disdain!”

His scent was a chilling promise of retribution.

“Alexander…” she sobbed.“Thank you; you are the best.”

Her scent was a mixture of relief and gratitude.

“Remain there; I am coming!” Alexander snapped before terminating the call.

His scent, even through the communicator, radiated power and anger.

Emily wiped away her tears; the hurt momentarily forgotten. She swaggered back to the counter, her eyes daring me.

Her scent now held a hint of defiance.

“Proceed with the transaction,” she handed me her clan payment token, pride coloring her voice.

Her scent was a mixture of defiance and barely controlled anger.

I wasn’t angry.

I swiftly took the token, smoothly processing the payment. When the transaction was complete, I exhaled quietly. “Whew–finally cleared out last season’s inventory!” My wolf chuckled inwardly at the successful maneuver.
