Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

I calmly watched Jared and Emily below, my she wolf’s expression growing colder by the second.

Emily was whimpering pitifully, her scent a mix of fear and self–pity, while Jared’s face shifted from anger to concern, his own scent wavering between aggression and protectiveness.

Suddenly, he looked up at me, his eyes blazing with resentment and accusation.

His wolf snarled low in his throat, a palpable shift in the air around him.

It was always like this.

Whatever Emily said, they believed it without question.

My own wolf bristled; the pack’s inherent bias gnawed at me.

Emily is right; we’re family.

Family shouldn’t be so calculative.

If you warned us, we wouldn’t have lost!” Jared’s voice rose, his wolf’s frustration evident in his tone.

Isabella, you really have a narrow mind!”

‘She’s magnanimous, but she should be the one who got kicked out of the hunt first.

Only someone who can predict a packmate’s mistakes due to scent–weakening can talk like that.

Anyone can offer soothing words, but if you lack the skills to back them up, it’s just disgusting.” My voice was even, controlled, but the icy flick of my gaze sent a chill through them.

My wolf felt a surge of righteous anger.

Emily flinched, looking aggrieved.

Her scent betrayed her nervousness.

Isabella is right…”

ared had already lost his temper, pulling Emily into his embrace.

His wolf’s comforting scent enveloped her.

Isabella, enough! Her brother saved your life; how can you target Emily like this? Do you have any respect for Marcus?!”

Emily buried her face in Jared’s chest, secretly smiling as she curled her lips.

My wolf scoffed at her transparent display.

My brother would always stand by her side; they expected my fury, my collapse.

But to her disappointment, I had long since transcended my emotional turmoil, my expression betraying nothing.

My wolf remained calm, powerful, and unyielding.

“She lost her brother; I gave her five brothers in return.

Isn’t that enough?”

The words were sharp, cutting through the tension.

My wolf felt a cold satisfaction.

“It’s not the same! Emily’s brother died saving you;

he’s

gone forever.

We merely disciplined you for your actions–we still considered you our sister.

left the pack on your own; what do you mean you gave us to Emily!”

And you left

His wolf bared its teeth in a silent challenge.

He’d given me an opening; I should apologize and return to the pack, right? Emily’s skills were indeed lacking;

even if she got to hunt in the future, I needed to guide her properly first.

Although he could coach her himself, it was troublesome; it was more suitable for me–I used to do this all the time and did it well!

My wolf reminded me of the power I held within the pack.

I was the one who messed up and hurt Emily, yet I was still throwing a tantrum.

It was ridiculous! My wolf acknowledged the truth of this, a grudging respect for my own self–awareness.
