Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 566

Chapter 566.

Up on the top floor of the Blaze Clan high–rise, in my Alpha office, I was watching the fallout. My mind–link was buzzing with reports from the territory borders. I heard through the pack network that Wendy and Carson were both hunting for Leo like bloodhounds on a cold trail.

“Forget about Wendy,” I signaled to my lead sentinel. “Discreetly leak Leo’s coordinates to my uncle.”

“Understood, Alpha Isabella.”

I knew Leo was holed up in a derelict rogue den on the outskirts of the Los Angeles territory. He’d been kept there for days, and from the scents my scouts picked up, he was curled in a corner, trembling like a pup caught in a silver trap. Though he hadn’t lacked for raw meat or water, he was trapped by a perimeter he couldn’t break.

Today, he’d apparently received a mind–link burst from Wendy, demanding a tribute transfer. That’s when he realized the jig was up. I knew he wouldn’t be mourning the exposure; in fact, I imagined his wolf feeling a twisted sense of relief. His warped logic would tell him that since he couldn’t fleece Wendy for more tribute, his captors would finally have to release him. I pictured him, calmly eating what he probably considered his last meal in that hellhole, fully expecting to walk free as a rogue.

But then, a sudden, jarring crash erupted from the den’s iron door.

BANG!

The heavy door was violently kicked open by an Alpha’s strength. Blinding light spilled into the dim space, and then they appeared: several dark–suited pack enforcers, flanking a tall, imposing figure silhouetted against the harsh glare as they stepped inside.

Leo flinched, his eyes squeezed shut against the brilliance. I watched him throw an arm up, instinctively shielding his face, his wolf whimpering in the back of his throat.

asped, “Who are you? Stay back! I have pack protection!”

the towering figure advanced, casting a long, oppressive Alpha shadow over him, did Leo dare to peek through his splayed fingers. The ned from his face as he finally recognized the male standing over him. A choked gasp tore from his throat. Carson.

error seized his heart–core, his entire body trembling so violently I thought he might shift involuntarily. The sheer disbelief etched on his face creamed the silent question: How could the Alpha of the Grant Lineage have possibly tracked his scent here?

Bro-… Brother–in–law…” Leo managed a smile that was more of a submissive grimace, trying to scramble to his feet. “What brings you here? L.. I’m ust here… experiencing a different side of the rogue life…”

Carson’s eyes were like silver daggers, slicing through the stagnant air of the den. He didn’t utter a single word, merely tilting his chin upward in a silent ommand to his enforcers. The bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward, one on each side, hoisting Leo off the ground as if he weighed othing more than a runt pup.

Ah! Brother–in–law! Brother–in–law, what are you doing?! Let’s talk this out under the Ancient Laws!” Leo shrieked, his voice laced with pure

Error.

Carson slowly walked up to him, his presence a dark, suffocating cloud. I could almost feel the chilling lack of warmth in his voice, even through the sental link, knowing his Alpha nature as I did.

Where’s the 2.6 billion in pack tribute Wendy transferred to you?” That was his first question, the one I’d been expecting

A pack enforcer, without a shred of mercy, delivered a stinging slap across his face, cutting off his pathetic lies mid–sentence. I knew Carson wouldn’t tolerate any more of a Beta’s nonsense. I knew Leo’s face would swell instantly, blood blooming at the corner of his mouth, his ears ringing from the impact as his wolf recoiled.

Carson remained utterly expressionless, his voice flat and terrifying, vibrating with a low growl. “I’ll ask again,” he stated, the words chillingly calm. The tribute. Where is it?” I knew he wouldn’t stop until he got his answer or Leo’s spirit broke.

Carson’s terrifying gaze, the sheer dread of an Alpha’s execution, instantly seized Leo by the throat. He knew Carson wasn’t here to reason with his kin today. If he dared to utter another ‘no,‘ he might never walk out of that warehouse with his head still on his shoulders.

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Leo completely broke down, tears and snot streaming down his face as he cried out, his wolf howling in submission. The money’s not with me! I didn’t get a single penny of the tribute!”

‘All the money was taken by Isabella! It was her! She grabbed me, forced me to transfer all of it to her pack accounts!”

‘Brother–in–law, I was forced, too! She threatened me, said if I didn’t do it, she’d make me disappear from the wolf world! I was so scared!”

To save his own skin, Leo spilled everything, holding nothing back, his scent reeking of betrayal. Carson’s brow furrowed tightly.

Me? How could this involve the Alpha of the Blaze Clan?

You better be telling the truth,” Carson’s voice turned even colder, the temperature in the room dropping.

Every word I’m saying is true! The absolute truth by the Moon Goddess!” Leo wailed, going as far as to make a blood–oath.“If I’m lying, may the Moon strike me down and let me die a rogue’s death!”

Carson stared him down, his gaze unwavering. His Alpha stare practically pulsed with disbelief; I knew he wouldn’t buy Leo’s desperate oath for a second. I knew Leo for exactly what he was–a mangy gambler who’d squandered his lineage’s fortune. And I knew Carson, for all his sternness, was ust as aware of that rotten truth. A male who’d blown his entire family’s tribute couldn’t be trusted, not for a second. That much was crystal clear to

ne, and I was sure it was to Carson too.

Everything I’m saying is true…” Leo whimpered, practically in tears as he saw Carson’s skepticism.“Wendy and I haven’t been on the same page for ages.

was genuinely bought off by Isabella!”

Desperate to save his own skin, Leo started frantically selling out his sister, throwing Wendy under the Alpha’s feet with every frantic word.

Wendy also did a lot of things behind your back! Remember when Lola and Wendy tried to get the Grant Pack to buy that piece of land? That wasn’t a

ood project at all! That was a setup orchestrated by Wendy and Gavin’s former fated mate, Susan!”

Carson listened, his face betraying nothing, but I could almost feel the ground shaking beneath his feet as Leo spoke. A tempest of emotion must have aged within his wolf, despite the steely calm he projected. He’d only suspected Wendy was problematic, but hearing the truth spill from Leo’s mouth oday, I watched Carson’s face, his carefully constructed composure cracking like frozen earth. The Alpha was clearly reeling, a silent shockwave itting his heart–core.

Carson’s unnerving stillness, his face a perfect mask, clearly terrified Leo. He practically tumbled over his words, desperate to continue, rushing his

onfession like a coward.

They knew that land was cursed all along. They set up the whole scheme just to trick you, to trick the Grant Pack into buying it at an exorbitant price! They wanted to fleece the Grants for their gold! Wendy… she’s been plotting against you, against the Grant Lineage, from the very beginning of the

Hood Bond!”

The final words, a thunderclap, seemed to detonate in Carson’s mind. I saw his shoulders tense, his jaw clench, as if the sound had physically struck his volf. His tall frame actually swayed, a barely perceptible tremor of a wounded Alpha, but I caught it.

watched Carson, saw the dawning horror in his eyes, a slow, painful realization spreading across his face. This was it. This was the devastating truth: hat from the very beginning, his mate had been plotting against him. Teaming up with outsiders, all to bleed his own pack dry. The she–wolf he’d hared his den with, the one he’d trusted with his lineage, was nothing more than a venomous shadow–serpent, coiled silently at his side.

in that moment, I saw the raw, towering fury and profound disappointment erupt within Carson, consuming his human reason and leaving only the Alpha.

Take him back to Los Angeles. Put him in the pack cells.”

I watched as Carson simply waved a hand, and the enforcers in black immediately seized Leo.

Leo screamed, his voice raw,‘I told you! Let me go! I won’t help Wendy and Isabella anymore! Please!”

He was dragged away, his desperate pleas growing fainter with every step. I watched him get shoved into a black transport, and with a sharp thud as the foor slammed shut, his cries were finally cut off, leaving behind a chilling silence in the rogue den.

A hush fell, and only then did Carson slowly brace his legs and rise to his full height. He made no move to mind–link me for confirmation. I knew be anderstood that in a do–or–die situation, someone like Leo would never dare lie to an Alpha. And since Leo had claimed I took the tribute, Carson would accept that as the truth.

But I also knew he didn’t believe I was scheming against the Grant Pack. He certainly wouldn’t confront me about it. Instead, his most probable onclusion, I figured, was that I’d discovered Wendy’s machinations and taken these steps to prevent any unnecessary losses to the family bloodline. And the fact that he’d located Leo so smoothly only served to underscore that very point.

knew the thought of that traitorous she–wolf, Wendy, would have Carson’s fists clenching, his knuckles cracking and veins bulging on the back of his ands. He would have turned, walking out without a word, his scent thick with the promise of a reckoning.

Meanwhile, I knew Wendy was still back at the hotel, frantically mind–linking everyone she knew, begging for tribute like a headless chicken. And of ourse, her so–called “friends,” the ones who used to fawn over her as a Luna, had already heard about her impending Blood Bond Dissolution and the rozen assets on the Howlnet. They were dodging her frequencies like she had the silver–rot.

ust as she must have been teetering on the brink of despair, the suite door was swiped open from the outside.

Vendy, probably thinking it was hotel staff, didn’t even lift her head, just yelled, “Get out! Who let you in? My wolf will have your head!”

It’s me.”

That icy Alpha voice would have made her entire world freeze.
