The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Why Can’t It Be Him?

If their bond was truly broken, why did she still feel this pull toward him? Why did the connection feel just as strong, if not stronger, now? Was it possible that the Moon Goddess had given her a second-chance mate... only to throw Zion back into the mix, along with two more as compensation?

The idea made her head spin.

Was the Moon Goddess so determined to tie her fate to Zion’s? Or was this some divine test, an orchestrated challenge meant to force all four of them to face something greater than themselves?

Addison bit her lower lip, frustration coiling in her chest. She didn’t understand any of it, and worst of all, there was no one who could give her the answers she so desperately needed.

Then her father leaned closer and whispered, "Sweetheart, what’s going on between you and this Greyhound mutt?"

The sudden question snapped her out of her swirling thoughts.

Right.

She hadn’t told her parents anything about her past with Alpha Zion yet. She had planned to. She meant to. But the twins had fallen ill, and all her energy and worry had gone into them. Telling her story had taken a backseat to being a mother.

As the image of her twins flashed through her mind, Addison froze. Her gaze locked onto Zion again, and a tremor ran through her body as her face drained of color. Panic surged within her. What if Zion found out about their existence?

He had once thrown her into the dungeon and ordered a hundred lashes, as if she were some traitor guilty of an unforgivable crime. She had nearly died that day. If he could be that ruthless toward her, what might he do if he discovered that she had given birth to his children?

’No,’ she told herself firmly. ’I can’t let him find them. I won’t risk it.’

But then, a flicker of doubt crept in. ’Even lions don’t harm their cubs... Maybe he wouldn’t hurt them? Maybe he’d accept them?’

Her heart ached. Her twins, though mature for their age, were still children. They needed love, love from both their mother and their father. There were things only a father could teach. Sure, they had their grandfather and other strong male figures in their life, but none could truly take the place of a father. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Still... was it worth the risk?

The weight of uncertainty crushed her. She couldn’t afford to gamble, not when it was her sons’ lives on the line. The "what-ifs" were too dangerous to even imagine.

Seeing the color drain from his daughter’s face, the Alpha King turned to look at Zion again, this time, truly seeing him.

Earlier, he’d barely spared Zion more than a dismissive glance, writing off the faint sense of familiarity as a resemblance to Zion’s father. But now, as he studied Zion closely, something clicked. That face... it was far too familiar. How could he have missed it?

Zion looked almost exactly like the two little boys the Alpha King had come to know and love, his grandsons. Eight parts out of ten, if not more. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he quickly looked back down at Addison, realization hitting him like a thunderbolt.

He wasn’t the only one stunned.
