Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 245

Chapter245.

Emily expected comfort, a torrent of blame directed at me.

Instead, Jared merely murmured, “Mm,” his gaze fixed on Caleb’s pale face.

My wolf felt a thrill of satisfaction as Emily’s carefully constructed facade crumbled.

Emily’s eyes widened.

He thinks I’m wrong? Did she say something?*

Jared caught her shocked gaze, his own eyes widening in recognition of the resentment he finally saw reflected there.“You….” His voice was laced with disbelief. Her wolf’s facade was collapsing.

Emily stammered, “Jared, I-”

He raised a hand, silencing her.

He recalled his past mistreatment of me, his quick acceptance of Emily’s lies.

The weight of his own failings pressed down on him. He remembered countless times Emily had casually spoken, subtly manipulating him, leading him to wrongly accuse me. My wolf reveled in his dawning understanding.

*How much injustice has she suffered at our hands?*

A wave of suffocating guilt washed over him.

He stood abruptly, turning to leave. Emily reached out, but he violently flung her hand away, almost knocking her down. He left without looking back.

He stopped, turned, and glared at her.

Emily stared, blankly. He grabbed her arm, shoving her out.

“Get out.”

“Jared?” Emily struggled, “Why are you…”

He didn’t speak, his gaze cold. He recalled Emily’s earlier chilling stare at Caleb, the predatory intensity. She wanted to kill him!*

He remembered her inaction when he first saw Caleb covered in blood.

He forced her out, slamming the door. Emily pounded on the door, pleading for an explanation. Jared ignored her. He sat by Caleb’s side, a chill gripping him.

*Caleb saw something. Emily hurt him. She tried to kill him!*

The terrifying thought rooted itself in his mind.

He frantically called Andrew, again and again, only to hear the same message:“The number you dialed is currently unavailable…” He repeated the action mechanically, until his own communicator buzzed to life. My wolf sensed the potential for truth and justice.
