The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Preparations

"Alpha Zion," Levi said boldly, "if the Alpha King really intends to hold Luna Addison responsible for what happened to Princess Claire three years ago... and sends a hunter after her, then maybe we can use that to our advantage."

Zion looked at him, startled, as Levi continued, "We could track the hunter—follow him from a distance. When he finds her, we use that moment to step in and get to her first. We take her away and protect her before he can make a move."

After all, they say no one can find someone faster than a Hunter. If they were going to find Addison, this might be their only chance.

Zion shook his head. Using a hunter could only be their last resort—no matter what, it was too dangerous. Hunters were ruthless; they knew exactly how to exploit their target’s weaknesses.

They couldn’t risk Addison’s life like that. What if the hunter was the type who always killed their target, especially when the Alpha King hadn’t specified whether he wanted her alive or dead? That uncertainty made the idea too risky.

As Zion’s expression grew darker, Levi realized the same thing. He immediately dismissed the thought from his mind. No matter how desperate he was to find Addison, he couldn’t afford to endanger her. So, he forced himself to stay still and think.

"Let’s think this through more seriously. For now, we should prepare to head to the Royal Capital. It seems we can’t afford to reject this invitation," Zion said as he stood by the window, leaning his whole body to the side with his arms crossed. "Besides, this might be our only chance to report our findings directly to the Alpha King."

His eyes were red and weary, evidence of too many sleepless nights. Zion hadn’t rested properly in days—haunted by the same recurring nightmare of Addison, bloodied and crawling, over and over again.

"Alpha Zion, I think you should rest. You’ve been working nonstop without sleep for days. Even if werewolves have strong bodies and fast healing, you can’t keep pushing yourself like this," Levi advised, frowning as he looked at Zion.

He noticed Zion had lost weight. Even though Levi was still angry at him—for what he had done to Addison—he couldn’t ignore the exhaustion in his Alpha’s eyes.

It was Zion’s neglect that had led to Addison’s suffering, and while Levi had every right to resent him, he had also served at Zion’s side for three years. He could see how deeply Zion regretted everything.

But regret didn’t change the past. It didn’t erase the fact that Addison had endured years of torment because of their decaying mate bond—or that she’d been tortured by Gerg. What Zion was doing now looked less like perseverance and more like self-destruction.

Was this his guilt consuming him? Was he punishing himself? Maybe. Or maybe his conscience had finally caught up with him.

Zion didn’t answer right away. He stood in silence, staring out the window for what felt like a very long time. Levi stepped closer and followed his gaze.

Zion was looking straight at the garden—the one Addison used to tend when she was still with the pack. It was still lush, vibrant, and just as beautiful as it had been before she disappeared. That was because Zion had been caring for it every single day. He watered the plants himself, loosened the soil with his own hands.

After all, Levi didn’t want to place another sycophant in a position of power—someone others could manipulate, like what happened with Greg. Even though there was no solid evidence proving that Claire and Greg had conspired against Addison, Levi trusted Addison’s character deeply. He knew she wasn’t the kind of person to betray or mistreat anyone, let alone deserve the treatment she endured. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
