Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 280

Chapter280.

The council meeting ended.

I remained seated, while others departed one by one.

Soon, only Fave and I remained in the vast chamber.

I sat in the Alpha’s chair, my fingers lightly drumming on the obsidian table, still pondering Dustin’s potential listening device and how to discreetly remove it without raising suspicion.

Fave finished organizing her notes and approached, whispering,

“Ms. Miller, should we inform Alpha Mason about what transpired with Dustin today?”

Her worry was evident; her brow furrowed, as if she carried my burdens. My gaze turned to her. I conversation with Mason would be intercepted by the listening device. Now, it appeared not.

“Ms. Miller….?” Faye faltered. My gaze hadn’t changed, yet she seemed nervous.

Dustin’s

It was as if she sensed she’d revealed something.

My time spent with Grayson seemed to have given me an almost unnerving authority.

“Isabella… Faye whispered again.

My mind drifted back to my past life.

Faye had been so kind to me then.

In the Miller Pack, everyone treated me as a tool, exploiting and humiliating me.

But Faye was different. When I was wrongly accused, she, a lowly pup, helped gather evidence; when Jared injured me, she tended my wounds and comforted me; when I was ostracized, she quietly stood by my side; when I faced challenges in hunts, she assisted me…

Reflecting on my past, I saw the depth of Faye’s selflessness, like an older sister constantly caring for me. Even when I was wrongly imprisoned, only Faye visited, hoping to help.

So, in this life, when restructuring the Fire Clan, I immediately promoted Faye.

One, because of her abilities; two, because she was the one I trusted most.

But now, I wondered about Faye’s initial kindness; it seemed…too much.

Faye grew increasingly anxious under my gaze. Her paw instinctively touched her data–pad.

She wanted to ask what to do; she seemed to suspect she was discovered! My wolf sensed my power unnerving her.

That’s when it clicked: the signal wasn’t from a listening device! It was Faye!

Because of her past kindness, I’d never doubted her.

But I wondered who she’d contacted during the meeting.

My silence amplified Faye’s anxiety.

*What to do? What to do?* If I suspected her, she couldn’t remain at my side!

“Who did you contact just now?”

My voice was calm, sincere, devoid of suspicion.

In my past life, I’d seen the worst of the world; even if Faye communicated with someone, I knew it was without malice.

Faye’s eyes

welled up.

Even now, I hadn’t doubted her! I am truly too kind‘, my wolf mused.
