Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617.

At that moment, I was in the specialized healing den I’d established within my mobile pack–command trailer.

I stood before a massive shimmering spirit–mirror console, my gaze fixed intently on the glowing surface. My wolf shifted restlessly beneath my skin, her claws itching to puncture the tension thick in the air.

The essence–rune upgrade was almost complete, just a few minor adjustments left to make to the micro–sentinels.

‘Faye.”

‘Yes, Boss.”

Faye, a loyal Beta who had been respectfully waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward.

‘Go retrieve the items on this list.”

I handed Faye a parchment.

Faye scanned the list I’d handed her, her eyes quickly confirming the ritual materials and specialized components we needed.

I knew we had some of the components already, but the more rare, silver–etched ones were stored within the Silvermoon Pack’s high–security archives.

Still, it shouldn’t be an issue. Alpha Miller had granted Faye full access to the pack’s resources, so retrieving them should be a straightforward process.

It should have been a routine task.

I watched as Faye, with her usual efficiency, opened the Silvermoon Pack’s internal materials dispatch mind–link portal.

She projected her blood–signature code and the dynamic psychic password, logging into the Howlnet’s administrative backend.

Then she pulled up the material list, confirmed every item was correct, and clicked the “Submit Application” icon on the light–screen.

Normally, the pack–link would verify blood–permissions within three seconds, generating a pick–up order automatically through the ancestral bond.

But three seconds passed.

Then ten.

On the screen, the ‘processing‘ circle of light just kept spinning, slow and steady, yet somehow… ominously. My wolf let out a low, guttural growl deep in my chest. The spiritual frequency of the pack–bond felt stagnant, like a frozen river.

I saw Faye’s brow furrow, just slightly.

A ripple of unease went through me. Something was definitely wrong.

The Silvermoon Pack’s system was state–of–the–art, globally renowned among the clans for its speed and reliability. There was no way it should be experiencing any kind of psychic delay.

Just as Faye moved to initiate a system diagnostic through her mind–link, a glaring red warning box abruptly popped up on the screen, making me

flinch.

It read: PERMISSION DENIED. APPLICATION REJECTED!”

Faye froze, rooted to the spot, her eyes wide with shock.

From her rigid stance, I instantly knew what the problem was: Insufficient permissions?

But that was impossible!

I realized Julia’s authority wasn’t just her own. It was a direct emblem of Alpha Miller’s power, and within the Silvermoon Pack, that was impossible to disregard.

I saw Faye’s eyes widen, a sudden realization hitting her. The Alpha’s access–the very thing giving me any power here—was clearly compromised. Grayson Blair’s suspicion had barely left her lips when she immediately set to work, digging through the Howlnet for answers. The moment she reported back, the truth slammed into me: Aurora had met with several Pack Council members last night. Despite Grandpa Miller’s critical condition, they had colluded to strip the Alpha of his authority over the territory.

Faye’s report was immediate.

“What now?”

Faye clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on me, the urgency in her amber eyes clear. This was no longer just about retrieving some materials.

“Julia, backed by Aurora, is about to call a Council of Alphas,” Faye said, her voice tight. “If she gets half the votes, the Silvermoon Pack will be…”

….taken over!” she finished, the word a stark pronouncement.

“Although Alpha Miller and you, Isabella, might not prioritize the pack’s earthly assets,” Faye continued, her voice urgent, that doesn’t mean you’ll accept some scavenger just snatching the leadership from under your noses!”

The den was eerily quiet, save for the faint, rhythmic hum of the spirit–machinery.

“It’s fine,” I said, my voice cutting through the silence.

I returned to the shimmering console, a casual indifference settling over me.

I saw Faye’s eyes light up as she watched me.

A slight tilt of her chin, and she looked as if she’d already ascended to the Smith Clan’s throne.

“Gentlemen,”

Hale Dong cleared his throat, then rose to his feet, taking the lead.

His gaze swept across the room, and just as planned, he was the first to speak.

We’ve gathered today to address the Smith Clan’s most severe crisis–a leadership vacuum!” Hale Dong announced, his voice booming. I propose we temporarily suspend Mr. Ward’s acting chairman duties and his status as heir!”

A chorus of support immediately rose from his faction.

1 second that someone shouted. “Grayson is completely irresponsible!”

Abandoning the entire pack enterprise for a she–wolf–a person like that doesn’t deserve to lead us!”

Julia’s faction buzzed with an almost manic energy, while those who claimed neutrality stayed utterly silent.

A subtle smirk played on Hale Dong’s lips. Those in favor of Ms. Julia temporarily assuming the role of chairman, please raise your hands!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than glances flickered between the Council members. And then, slowly, I saw the first hands beginning to lift.

[ could practically feel Aurora’s satisfied smile radiating through the surveillance feeds, her triumph palpable even from afar.

The timing was flawless. Everything was unfolding exactly as planned, completely within our grasp.

From this moment on, the Silvermoon Pack was undeniably ours.

Then I saw Julia. For the first time in what felt like forever, a genuine, utterly unrestrained smile finally broke across her face.

But just as Director Hale began to announce the results of the vote-

Suddenly, everything changed.

[ watched as the massive screen at the front of the conference room–the one meant for the presentation–suddenly let out a sharp crackle and flickered.

The screen, which had just been displaying the Silvermoon Pack logo, abruptly cut to pitch black.

What the hell?” someone muttered, then another voice chimed in,

‘Where’s the tech–shamans?”

As everyone exchanged bewildered glances, the black screen flickered back to life.

But it wasn’t a document that appeared. Instead, a high–definition, real–time surveillance feed filled the massive display.

The footage showed a luxurious, private ICU room in the Pack Infirmary.

And there, facing the camera directly, was Old Man Miller–the same Alpha who’d collapsed from a stroke just last night.

This is…” a voice started, trailing off in disbelief,

…the Chairman’s hospital room?” another whispered, the words barely audible.

‘Grandpa’s awake?” someone murmured.

Julia’s medical skills are incredible!” another voice exclaimed.

Praise rippled through the room, and I saw eyes full of excitement and hope fix on Julia.

But as Grandpa Miller’s sudden awakening registered, I watched both Aurora and Julia closely. The emotion on their faces wasn’t relief or happiness, it was a sudden, chilling premonition, a dark shadow of dread.

I watched Grandpa Miller’s lips part. His voice, raspy and weak, yet unmistakably clear, boomed through the conference room’s top–tier speakers, filling every corner and chilling me to the bone.

“I’ve been foolish,” he rasped, his eyes fixed on the camera. “In my heart, the only heir to the Silvermoon Pack has ever been my grandson–Grayson! Today, I officially declare that the Silvermoon Pack assets will be entrusted to Grayson! This is my signed declaration!”

With that, he raised a parchment document, holding it up for everyone to see on screen.

My own eyes widened in disbelief, fixed on the screen, my gaze snapping between the damning words and Julia’s equally stunned face.
