The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Wanting To Protect Their Mommy

"But then again, wasn’t it said that the Luna of the Midnight River Pack had run away or gone missing? Did they finally find her—and bring her here? For what? To face punishment?" The Royal Beta nearly rolled his eyes but restrained himself. The entire situation was baffling, a tangled mess of half-truths and unanswered questions. It felt like walking through a maze with no end in sight—they no longer knew what to believe.

"Or... could he have hired a fake to take the punishment in her place? To protect his Luna?" the Alpha King murmured, though even he sounded unsure. Too many things didn’t add up. The more they tried to piece everything together, the more tangled the situation became. And the only person who could truly connect the dots was Addison. Everything else was just speculation.

But whether that woman was truly the Luna of the Midnight River Pack or a fraud impersonating a princess, one thing was certain—she wouldn’t leave the Capital unscathed. Both crimes carried the sentence of execution. Impersonating royal blood was a grave offense that threatened the sanctity of the royal lineage, and harming one was even worse. Unfortunately, Claire has done both, so even if she has hundreds of lives, it will not be enough to save her from her fate.

While the Alpha King and his Royal Beta were discussing Zion and Claire, Addison was on her way to pick up her twins from their defense training at the palace grounds. She also wanted to see who their instructor was. But by the time she arrived, the instructor had just left, and the twins were already preparing to return with their chaperone.

Their chaperone happened to be one of the same Royal Guards who had been assigned to protect them back in the Sacred Lands. With the Alpha King’s birthday celebration fast approaching and numerous guests arriving at the Royal Palace, security had been tightened, especially around Addison’s palace and the twins, now officially recognized as royal princes.

Although the Alpha King had yet to finalize the formal documents for their official acknowledgment and archival record, the process was already in motion. This legal recognition would secure their royal status and, in the future, give them a legitimate claim to the throne, should Addison, as the next Alpha King, name one of them as heir apparent.

But all of that could wait. It wasn’t something Addison wanted to burden them or herself with just yet.

"Mommy!" Kyle squealed in delight upon seeing his mother. He nearly leapt out of his guard’s arms, but the guard’s quick reflexes caught him just in time. Gently, the guard set him down, and the moment Kyle’s feet touched the ground, he bolted toward Addison like a little cannonball. Aiden wasn’t far behind, chasing after his brother with equal excitement.

Addison crouched down and opened her arms wide just in time to catch them both in a warm embrace. "How was your training today?" she asked, smiling as she scooped them up into her arms.

"Hehehe, I bitch Kyle in the shord training," Aiden said proudly in his little childish voice and with his not so perfect pronunciation. "But—but he tried to cheat! Sho I ran, and then we almost got scolded for playing around..." He puffed out his chest like it was some kind of badge of honor, clearly unfazed by the idea of getting in trouble.

The royal guards behind them scratched the backs of their necks awkwardly and gave Addison apologetic looks. But Addison simply gave a gentle nod, reassuring them that she understood. After all, it wasn’t their fault. No one could fully control young children, not all the time. It was perfectly normal for the twins to be playful.

In fact, considering how young they still were—barely three years old—their progress was impressive. They were only receiving this early training because, for their age, they were surprisingly well-developed.
