Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493

The white report page laid out the data from both blood–essence samples in stark, undeniable clarity. My wolf, sensing my sudden spike in adrenaline, stood alert in my mind, her tail twitching with anticipation.

But it was the bolded line at the very bottom of the report that felt like a lightning strike directly to my brain.

‘Based on the blood–essence lineage results,” it read, “Sunny is confirmed as Miles’s biological mother, with a 99.99% probability of a parent–pup relationship.”

A parent–pup relationship confirmed! The words screamed inside my head. My wolf let out a sharp, joyous yip, her spirit swirling with a sudden, >verwhelming sense of belonging.

My eyes shot open, wide with disbelief.

practically threw myself into Carson’s arms, my voice catching with a sob I couldn’t hold back. My scent–usually soft and floral–now radiated pure, nadulterated relief.

I found him! I found my brother!”

I really found him!”

Carson was trembling too, I could feel it through his embrace. He held me so tightly, and when I looked up, I saw his eyes were red–rimmed.

You found him… It’s good you found him…” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.

Should I just slam the report onto his desk? Would that be too jarring?”

I kept talking, practically spilling out all the nervousness and excitement churning inside me.

Grayson’s hands gripped the steering wheel, his gaze unwavering on the road ahead. All he offered was a soft “hmm” from deep in his throat.

His voice was devoid of emotion, a low, steady rumble, a stark contrast to the way I felt like I was practically flying. My wolf tilted her head, sensing the cold wall he was building between us.

Moments later, the black transport glided to a smooth stop right in front of the restaurant.

I practically sprang forward to unbuckle my safety harness, my hand already hovering over the door handle, itching to get out.

The second before I could push the door open, my wrist was suddenly caught.

Grayson’s fingers were looped around my wrist. It wasn’t painful, but I couldn’t pull free. His skin was hot, his Alpha touch sparking a familiar, unwanted hum through my veins.

My movement stalled. I turned my head, my gaze a bit bewildered as I looked at him.

What is it?”

The transport fell silent all at once, the only sound the soft hum of the climate control.

Grayson didn’t say a word, just watched me.

His eyes were so deep, it was like the bright daylight outside couldn’t even penetrate them. Something churned within–his wolf was pacing, hackles aised, a territorial growl vibrating in his chest that only I could feel.

For a long moment, he was silent. Then, he finally spoke, his voice low and ráspy.

le rarely called me by my full name like that.

My smile, which had been so eager moments ago, faltered, shrinking under the sudden seriousness in his tone.

Grayson’s gaze

locked onto mine, unyielding. He spoke slowly, each word deliberate, like a heavy stone.

You found your biological brother.”

I was a statement of fact, but it felt like he was testing me, seeking confirmation of his own displacement.

Then what about me?”

The words hit me like a splash of scalding water, My brothers in the Silvermoon Pack had never treated me well; I’d cut blood–ties with them long ago. He had always been my only brother–the one who protected me.

But now, with my real older brother found, he wasn’t my only one anymore.

I instinctively recoiled, but my back hit the cold door, leaving me trapped with nowhere to go.

I dropped my gaze, avoiding his eyes, which were so deep they threatened to swallow me whole

“You… you’re differen.”

My voice was barely a whisper, tinged with a barely perceptible tremor of panic.

‘How am I different?”

Grayson pressed, his voice dropping even lower, a dangerously seductive magnetism in his tune

My heart hammered.

It pounded so hard, I thought it might burst from my throat.

Just then.

Knock, knock.

Someone rapped on the transport window from outside.

Seizing the chance like a lifeline, I shoved Grayson away, yanked the door open in a frantic rush, and practically tumbled out of the vehicle.

Miles stood outside, his gentle gaze landing on my slightly flustered face before sweeping to Grayson inside, whose expression was anything but riendly. A cold frost instantly settled in Miles’s eyes.

He looked at Grayson, his voice restrained yet laced with a warning.

Alpha Grayson,” he said, his voice level and cutting. “Even if you’re adoptive siblings, you’re still brother and sister in the eyes of the Pack. When you’re ogether, the clan won’t gossip about you; they’ll only talk about Isabella. If you truly want to protect her, you should keep your distance.”

le didn’t know I was the sister he’d spent years searching for–I was sure of it. But in that split second, his instincts took over. He stepped in front of he, a fierce, protective older brother, pulling me behind him as if I was the most fragile pup. The irony twisted in my gut: he was shielding me, ompletely oblivious to the years he’d wasted looking for me.
