Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 416

The old she–wolf squinted, scrutinizing me.

“Who knows if you’re telling the truth? If you take her, I have nowhere to turn.” I smirked.

“So, what do you mean?”

Her cloudy eyes flicked around.

“Taking her away isn’t impossible.

But, she’ll make big silver someday, right?

You

gotta give me 100,000 silver first! Consider it an advance on her wages.”

One hundred thousand silver.

Disgust hardened my gaze.

I didn’t speak, releasing Ava’s paw and turning to leave.

My movements were sharp, decisive.

Ava trembled, thinking she was being abandoned again.

Her eyes dimmed, her paw hanging limply.

Seeing me leave, the old she–wolf panicked, shouting, “Hey, how can you just leave like that?”

I kept walking, slowing my pace to let her catch up, panting.

“Don’t… don’t go! The price… we can negotiate!” Her tone treated Ava like a commodity.

I turned, my gaze calm and unyielding.

She felt guilty, her bravado fading.

She lowered her price, from 100,000 to 80,000, then 50,000, finally 30,000.

I remained unmoved.

On the verge of breaking down, she settled on 20,000.

“Twenty thousand, no less!” I looked at her.

“That other she–wolf only gave twenty thousand and didn’t say to take Ava away,” she pleaded.

I reluctantly agreed.

“Fine, let’s sign an agreement.” She nodded repeatedly.

She couldn’t read or write, but she was happy to get the 20,000 silver.

The viewers saw that Emily’s grand gesture only benefited the old she–wolf, changing nothing for Ava.

I, with the same twenty thousand silver, had effectively rescued Ava.

The Howlnet exploded.

“Miss Miller is amazing! That’s how you get things done!”

“Emily’s twenty thousand silver was wasted, and it raised the old she–wolf’s expectations!”

“Amazing, Miss Miller wins!”

Ava stood beside me, tears streaming down her face, her tiny shoulders trembling.

She felt hurt–her grandmother was so harsh–yet she felt a flicker of hope for the future.

I’d minimized the harm.

I gently patted her back.

I didn’t speak, just softly took her paw again.

“Come with me.” Ava nodded, gripping my paw tightly.

My wolf felt a surge of protectiveness, a fierce loyalty to this brave little she–wolf.
