Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 307

Chapter307.

“There are pups born under a bad moon every full moon, but seeing two such strange ones in one place is a first.”

My wolf grumbled, a low growl rumbling in chest.

my

The scent of fear and excitement hung thick in the air, mingling with the musky aroma of other wolves.

“Yeah, the best part of this auction isn’t the items, but this showdown!

Tonight’s definitely worth the howl!”

“I wonder how many silver marks this project will go for… over 20 million?”

“If it goes over 20 million, it’ll be the Silvermoon Pack’s biggest joke! At least a month of howling laughter!”

The laughter around me faded.

All I wanted was to wrap this up at 16 million silver marks and end this farce! My heart pounded, a frantic drum against my ribs.

My wolf was restless, pacing in my mind.

“Thump thump… thump thump…”

“16 million, third call!”

“16 million, sold!”

“Yes!” Relief washed over me, but then the cold dread hit. Despite winning, I was about to shell out 25 million silver marks! And this project should’ve been mine in the first place!

A wave of nausea rolled over me. My wolf snarled, a low protest at this injustice. Emily, oblivious, excitedly hugged my arm.

Her scent, normally comforting, felt cloying.

“I knew brother is the best! You’ll get everything I want!”

“Mason, I’ll work hard to make this project successful and earn back the money!”

“Mason, you’re the best brother ever!”

Emily’s praise, usually a balm, felt like a bitter herb tonight. Spending money on my sister was natural, but this….this was different.

The pain clawed at me.

My wolf whined, a low, heartbroken sound.

I forced a smile. The pack scribes, with their ever–present quills and scrolls, were kind enough to keep recording our images.

Some seasoned scribes were already brainstorming headlines for tomorrow’s Howlnet.

“Brotherly Love or Romance? Alpha Mason Spends 26 Million Silver Marks on His Sister.”

Emily posed, showcasing her perfect profile. She was sure she’d be trending number one in the Silvermoon Pack tomorrow! That was enough for her.

Whether I could afford 26 million silver marks wasn’t her concern; a good brother wouldn’t let his sister worry about money. But I didn’t have enough.

My wolf whimpered, the weight of my debt pressing down. I forced a smile.“I need to make a call,” I said, my voice tight.
