Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 56

“Jared, it is… insufficient.”

Jared frowned.

Twenty thousand was a considerable sum; she resided at home; she shouldn’t require such a large amount.

His wolf was confused; the sum seemed more than enough for a she–wolf in her position.

“Insufficient? What do you require? Is two hundred thousand not sufficient?”

She seemed hesitant, finally whispering, “The sky–talon repair was quite costly previously; I depleted all my savings.

This time… it may not be enough…”

He frowned.

“Twenty thousand is insufficient? Does repairing a sky–talon truly cost that much?” When I was part of the pack, I never requested funds from him.

“How much did it cost previously?” He scrolled through his communicator, ready to transfer his own fifty

thousand to her.

Emily looked down, her fingers twisting together, clearly distressed.

She bit her lip, her voice barely audible.

Jared, I… I expended one million five hundred thousand previously.”

She adopted an expression of reluctance, as if forced to reveal this embarrassing information.

Her wolf was cringing inwardly.

Jared’s fingers froze mid–action.

His eyes widened, believing he must have misheard.

“What? One million five hundred thousand?”

Emily looked up, her eyes red–rimmed, nodding.

She didn’t even feel awkward about exaggerating the previous cost from 1.2 million to 1.5 million.

Tears welled in her eyes.

‘I apologize, Jared.

I aspired to emulate Isabella, capable of repairing the sky–talon myself, avoiding the need to trouble you.

But the cost is excessive; I am truly unable to afford it…”

His expression shifted from shock to bewilderment as he looked at Emily, unable to comprehend why repairing a sky–talon would be so exorbitant.

When I repaired sky–talons, it never cost that much! His wolf was baffled.

Seeing his expression, Emily’s tears finally flowed freely.

Jared must be thinking she couldn’t compare to me!

Merxt

Her wolf whimpered with despair.

Jared, I understand I am not as skilled as Isabella.

Her abilities are far superior; repairing a sky–talon would not cost that much for her.

Perhaps… perhaps I should beseech her? I will leave the Miller pack, abandon the team, and allow her to return…”
