Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522

As they reached the front door of the Pack Manor, Alpha Carson was just coming out as well.

I noticed Carson’s steps falter slightly when he saw Lola. My wolf, Nala, bristled inside me, her sensitive ears twitching as she picked up the sudden pike of uncertainty in his pheromones.

Alpha Evan proactively explained, Dad, Mom said Lola is going to the company to get familiar with the environment.”

Carson glanced at Lola. Today, she was dressed in a proper business suit, which, I had to admit, looked a little less put–on and artificial than the overly rilly, affected dresses she usually wore. It was tailored to hide a she–wolf’s natural lithe muscles, making her look more like a specialized dministrator of the territory.

He didn’t say anything, just gave a subtle nod and a quiet ‘hmm,‘ which I understood as his unspoken approval.

ola’s face lit up, and she quickly chirped, “Good morning, Dad,” her voice sickeningly sweet and obedient, her scent flaring with a saccharine musk that nade Nala snarl in the back of my mind.

Carson didn’t acknowledge anyone, just heading straight for his own spirit–steed.

ola trailed behind Evan as they entered the national headquarters of the Grant Clan. Her eyes, as she surveyed the imposing stone and glass citadel and he pack elites hurrying past–their scents a whirlwind of aggression and productivity–were alight with a deep, almost palpable sense of satisfaction

nd vanity.

I was clear, just by the way she carried herself, that she believed this opulent world was precisely the life she was meant to have as a high–ranking he–wolf of the Silvermoon.

At first, she stayed glued to Evan’s side, following his every move and listening intently as he explained the functions of each department within the ack’s governance.

lut Evan was so distant, his tone all business, his Alpha aura shielding him from her cloying advances so effectively that I quickly lost interest.

o, the moment Evan stepped into a meeting of the High Council, I decided to take matters into my own hands and started wandering around the clan erritory’s central hub.

moved through the different office areas, gliding with an elegance I imagined a Luna might possess while surveying her domain, soaking in the curious lances the pack members threw my way. My wolf held her head high, asserting our presence in the hierarchy.

is I passed the Business Department, a sudden commotion erupted from inside.

What do we do? Catherine suddenly came down with acute lunar–fever and was rushed to the healers!”

The mind–link conference with the Henry Group is about to start, and we need someone to immediately translate these supplementary clauses in German!”

Doesn’t Walker know German?”

His German is only good enough for basic trade–howls. We’re talking about a professional blood–bond contract translation of this caliber, he’s ompletely out of his depth! One wrong word, and the pack will be ruined!”

nside the office, a group of people were practically spinning in circles, their panic palpable, their pheromones sharp with the scent of sour fear. Then, Lola stood by a doorway, listening to the conversation happening inside. A subtle, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips.

A sudden realization hit me: this must be the opportunity Wendy had arranged for her. Nala let out a low, mental growl of warning She smoothed her outfit, adjusted her expression, and then, with a confident, almost regal stride, she walked in on her heels. If no one minds, perhaps… I could give it a try.”

The Director of the Business Department looked up, his eyes widening in surprise “And you are…?” he asked, a hint of hesitation in his voice as he

scented her rank.

I’m the Grant family’s eld–Lola bit her lip, catching herself. -I mean, the Grant family’s second daughter. You’ve probably heard of me I just started at the company today, getting acquainted with everything. I grew up abroad in the European Pack territories, so I’m fluent in foreign languages and have even studied German. Perhaps I could be of assistance.”

The director had, of course, heard the rumors on the Howlnet about the Grant family taking in two daughters. With the situation clearly spiraling out of control, they were obviously desperate, willing to try anything as a last resort.

Then… then that’s wonderful! Miss Lola, please, come right in!”

A cynical thought crossed my mind as I watched the director usher Lola forward: even if she didn’t succeed, at least he’d have someone else to blame when the Alpha demanded answers.

I watched Lola glide over to the mind–link terminal, her movements impossibly smooth. She sat down and stared at the screen, dense with German clauses, yet not a flicker of panic crossed her face. Not even a hint.

Her eyes scanned the document with unnatural speed, and a sickening thought bloomed in my stomach. This wasn’t a challenge for her. This was the exact business contract Wendy had forced her to memorize, every single clause. German? No, she didn’t need German. She had the translation burned into her memory as if it were engraved in silver.

My stomach twisted. This was Wendy’s arrangement, just as she’d planned for the full moon’s rise.

But she remained perfectly calm, looking utterly professional, her gaze sharp and focused as she typed, translating it into English.

In less than twenty minutes, a fully translated document appeared on the silver–glass screen for everyone to see.

The director, who frequently dealt with international pack contacts, couldn’t translate precisely, but he could certainly verify the terms.

He scanned through it and immediately praised her. “You’re incredible, Miss Lola! This time, you really saved the pack!”

The surrounding employees also cast admiring and grateful glances her way.

That’s right, Miss Lola, you’re our savior!”

Who knew Miss Lola had such hidden talents!”

Lola basked in their praise, a triumphant look on her face. “It was nothing, I’m just glad I could help everyone.”

Just then, the office door swung open.

Carson was just emerging from the conference room with an important business partner from a neighboring territory. The Business Department door at the end of the hall was open, and a faint buzz of activity drifted from within.

His interest piqued, his Alpha instincts drawing him toward the commotion.

The door swung open, and the sight that greeted me was sickeningly familiar. There was Lola, bathed in the spotlight, surrounded by a throng of people, each face alight with admiration, their words gushing with compliments.

The Director of the Business Department, ever the opportunist, spotted the Chairman and practically tripped over himself scurrying over to him. His face was stretched into a sickeningly sweet grin, and he proceeded to recount the incident, spinning the tale with a generous helping of exaggeration painting Lola as nothing short of a miracle worker for the Silvermoon.

Chairman,” a voice–one of the employees, I presumed–began, “you wouldn’t believe how dicey things were just now! If Miss Lola hadn’t been here, our deal with the Henry Group would have almost certainly gone south!”

Carson finished listening His gaze, heavy with the scrutiny of a pack leader, landed on Lola

He offered Lola an emotionless nod

The pride on Wendy’s face was practically radiating, impossible for anyone to miss.

I just knew it! Our Lola is simply the best!”

She slipped her arm through Lola’s, then turned to Carson and started singing her praises.

Menu

That’s why I adore this pup, Lola! She’s just like me–smart and always eager to learn. At home, she’s so sweet and unassuming, but when it counts, she always rises to the occasion!”

I noticed Carson’s slight wince, a flicker of discomfort crossing his face as he listened to his mate. It was just translating a few documents, after all; her praise felt wildly over the top, and I figured his wolf must have felt the same irritation at the hyperbole.

But the genuine joy on Wendy’s face was undeniable, and Carson, probably not wanting to embarrass her in front of the pack members, simply offered a noncommittal hum in response.

Wendy, her voice bubbling with excitement, chimed in, ‘Carson, Lola did such a great job today. Shouldn’t we take her out for a nice dinner, a little reward?‘

Lola, clearly thrilled despite her efforts to play it cool, protested, ‘Oh, Mom, it was nothing, honestly! You’re making too big a deal out of it!‘ Wendy, however, wasn’t deterred in the slightest. Her eyes were locked on Carson, demanding he acknowledge their “daughter.”

i was just dinner, really, and Carson was on the verge of agreeing to maintain the peace of the blood bond.

Then, a young he–wolf in a tech department uniform burst in, his face etched with panic, his scent sharp with the smell of ozone and burning silver. Mr. Grant!” he gasped, his voice tight with urgency. “We’ve got a massive problem! Our internal mind–link network is under a brutal attack from inknown shadow–hackers, and the spiritual firewall’s about to collapse!”

Carson heard him out, and his face instantly darkened, his pupils bleeding into black as his Alpha wolf surged to the surface.

An attack on the pack network meant Grant Group’s most sensitive clan secrets and all their client data would be exposed to rival packs. The thought lone sent a jolt of dread through me.

The consequences? They were absolutely unimaginable. Catastrophic for our territory’s sovereignty.

What’s going on? Get me up there, now!” he demanded, already striding toward the cybersecurity department upstairs, his presence so heavy it made he air vibrate.

Wendy’s grip tightened on his arm, her voice tight with annoyance. “You don’t understand that tech stuff, anyway,” she insisted. “Let the IT department andle it. You just promised us you’d take Lola out to dinner!”

watched as Carson winced, rubbing his temples. It was clear he was in pain, not just from the emergency, but from Wendy’s reaction. I knew what he was thinking–that his mate, who used to be so considerate and understanding of the pack’s needs, had completely lost her mind when it came to Lola.

He forcefully shook her hand off. “When can’t we eat?” he snapped, his voice sharp with Alpha frustration, a low growl vibrating in his chest Is dinner more important than pack secrets leaking, than losing hundreds of millions–billions–of credits? If you’re so desperate, you take her to dinner!”

Wendy stumbled back, her good mood instantly shattered.

For her, nothing could possibly be more important than celebrating Lola’s success and solidifying her place in the clan

And this, I realized, was her painstakingly crafted opportunity to finally make Carson see Lola in a new light, ruined by a sudden crisis.

Lola’s eyes darted, sensing the shift in the Alpha’s temper, and she spoke with a feigned understanding Mom, we should go with Dad to check it out How can we possibly enjoy dinner when something this big is happening to the pack? Maybe I can even help
