Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557

CRASH!

The reinforced heavy–oak door had been kicked clean off its hinges, splinters of wood scattered everywhere like bone fragments after bu

Silhouetted against the silver moonlight in the doorway stood a he–wolf.

He was dressed in a black trench coat that billowed like dark fur, and even before he fully stepped into the room, a wave of crushing Alpha powe vashed over me, pressing down until I could barely breathe. My wolf, Luna, whimpered deep in my subconscious, tucking her tail at the sher nagnitude of his power.

The light was too dim to make out his face, but I could see his eyes–they were glowing a predatory amber, cold as knives, glining with an undingsed illing intent that sent shivers down my spine.

n the room, the burly pack–warriors who had been closing in on me, ready to pounce, froze solid. Their predatory instincts, smally so sharp wer aralyzed by the arrival of a true apex.

ean’s face darkened, and he sprang to his feet, his hackles rising as he bellowed, “Who the hell is that?! Who dares kick down my door?”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the he–wolf stepped out of the shadows.

The instant the moonlight illuminated his face, Sean’s curses caught in his throat, as if someone had brutally choked them off. The menace on his face nstantly froze, then dissolved, replaced by a sheer, absolute terror. His pupils, dilated with alarm, shrank to pinpricks as his scent turned acrid with the mell of fear–pheromones.

He stood completely still, as if a paralyzing Pack–Elder’s spell had been cast upon him, frozen to the spot.

M–M–Mr. Miller?”

oss Shore’s voice trembled uncontrollably, barely a whisper squeezed through his teeth. It was beyond anything he could have ever imagined—the egendary, elusive underground Alpha–Emperor of the Silvermoon Pack Territory, personally descending upon his meager rogue den

Grayson, however, didn’t spare him a glance.

“Mr. Miller! It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all just a big misunderstanding!” He was snotting and crying, desperately slamming his head against the floor it a gesture of pathetic submission. I didn’t know who I was messing with! I didn’t know Miss Miller was yours! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!”

I could tell he was absolutely consumed by regret. What possessed him to try and screw me over for tribute–money? He’d underestimated me, thinking I was just the Grant family’s niece, completely oblivious that my true power, my real support and fated–mate, was Grayson.

It was Grayson, the Alpha no one in all of the Silvermoon Pack Territory dared to cross.

watched as Grayson’s gaze settled on him, utterly devoid of emotion, like he was looking at a dead thing

The money. His thin lips parted, and he uttered a single word.

It’s here! It’s here!” Sean scrambled to the iron–bound safe, fumbling frantically with the keypad. He was so terrified, his claws kept slipping, and he nessed up the password several times in a row.

Finally, he managed to open the safe and pulled out a heavy box of pack–tribute.

Mr. Miller! The money’s all here! Every single cent!” He shoved the case toward Grayson, then pointed frantically toward the cellar door. The… the irl is locked up downstairs too! I’ll have her released immediately!”

Grayson’s gaze swept over the case, then landed back on Sean’s face.

Do you understand my rules?”

jean trembled, his face turning ashen. He knew Grayson’s rules. In the Silvermoon Pack, the Ancient Law was simple: Anyone who dared touch what elonged to the Alpha faced only one outcome.

Death.

could barely make out the man’s pathetic whimper, “Mr. Miller… have mercy…” as he lay collapsed on the ground, his voice almost completely gone. Grayson didn’t spare him another glance. He took off his trench coat and draped it gently over my shoulders, the fabric saturated with his powerful voody pheromones, completely enveloping my small frame in its warmth.

Then he bent down, scooping me up effortlessly into his arms. His muscles felt like corded steel beneath his shirt.

He hadn’t uttered another word since he’d arrived, his silence a palpable force. But the sheer, invisible pressure radiating from his wolf had already ealed the fate of everyone in the room.

Grayson scooped me up, turned, and started walking towards the door. Grayson’s Guardian, Alexander, and another pack–guard immediately ollowed.

The black Obsidian–Stryder glided smoothly through the night.

“Grayson…. I managed to whisper, trying to shatter the suffocating silence.

Bur Grayson seemed not to hear me, or maybe he just chose not to. He remained utterly silent. He just held me, his grip so fierce it felt like he was trying to meld me into his very bones, to absorb me into his own spirit.

The Stryder sped on, a blur of motion through the night, until it finally screeched to a halt in front of a sprawling private Pack–Villa by the river.

Grayson didn’t even bother opening the door properly. He got out of the car, still clutching me tight, and slammed his foot against the villa’s main door, kicking it wide open.

Inside, every light was blazing, yet the house was eerily silent, quiet as a tomb.

He didn’t spare a glance in any direction, just charged straight up the stairs, carrying me in his arms. The master bedroom door slammed shut behind us with a deafening bang, kicked closed with the heel of his foot.

The world spun around me as he abruptly pulled me from his embrace. My back slammed hard against the cold, unforgiving door panel, and a sharp gasp of pain escaped my lips.

Before I could even catch my breath, Grayson’s tall, imposing Alpha–frame was suddenly looming over me. One hand slammed against the door right beside my ear with a sharp thud, effectively pinning me, completely trapped between the unforgiving wood and the hard expanse of his chest. The chill radiating from him, mixed with the scent of tobacco and his flared pheromones, felt overwhelmingly oppressive now.

One of his hands gripped my jaw like a vise, his thumb pressing against my chin with a force that threatened to shatter my bones. I felt the beat of his kin, and my own wolf pulsed with a mix of fear and fated–mate attraction.

He forced

Isabella.”

my head back, my gaze locking with his dark, brooding amber eyes that looked like they could drip with menace.

His voice was deep and hoarse, each word ground out through clenched teeth, vibrating with the growl of his wolf.

So you’ve grown some nerve,”
