The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Escaped

Dwarves are deceptively strong despite their short stature. It was said a dwarf’s hammer could weigh anywhere from 20 to 50 kilos, yet they wielded them with ease in one hand, forging metal into near-magical creations. Born craftsmen, most dwarves became engineers or blacksmiths. The man before him could probably crush his skull with one hand if provoked, and that wasn’t a gamble he was willing to make.

As everyone continued to chat and speculate about Addison’s current position and what Mila’s next move might be, no one noticed Mila silently standing at the back of the hall until she quietly slipped away, vanishing without a word.

Addison, however, heard every murmur. Each word felt like a dagger to her chest.

She was well aware of her vulnerability. Without Aurora, her wolf, she wasn’t at her full strength, and there was no telling when, or if, the curse would be broken. In this condition, she truly wasn’t in the best place to claim her rightful role.

And if the court or the public were to learn of her situation, she feared that discontent would grow rapidly. Some might not hesitate to rally behind Mila instead, even submitting appeals to the Royal Court to name her the new heir.

Addison took a shaky breath, trying to steady herself. Her gaze shifted to the three men still staring at her with unwavering intensity, then to her father, whose expression offered her no guidance.

She didn’t know what to do.

A part of her wanted to reject Zion right then and there, to spare herself from the complications and pressure. But the werewolf law was absolute: no one was allowed to reject their fated mate. Such an act was said to invoke the wrath of the Moon Goddess herself. If she defied fate, her bloodline could be cursed. Her descendants might never be granted a fated mate, not even generations into the future.

And that possibility terrified her.

She couldn’t risk that, not for her children.

Her hesitation wasn’t just personal anymore. It carried the weight of the future of her children and grandchildren.

If a monarch never met their fated mate and instead chose a partner, their bloodline would gradually weaken. In time, that decline could lead to the rise of a new Alpha King from another pack, someone strong enough to bear the weight of leading all werewolves across the land.

And now, with everything that happened in front of so many witnesses, word was bound to spread quickly that she had three mates. If she made any reckless moves with so many eyes on her, she would be seen as setting a bad example. The elders and the devout followers of the Moon Goddess would surely condemn her for it.

So even though she felt deeply uncomfortable standing near Zion, especially with the intensity of his gaze, as if he wanted to claim and mark her right then and there, she forced herself to remain composed and push aside the unease.

But then something changed.

Addison saw Levi flinch. It was subtle, but after three years by his side, she could read him like an open book. He was agitated, clearly trying to suppress it, but it didn’t escape her notice. He must have received a bad report from the warriors they had brought along.

His expression hardened, and without a word, he turned to Zion and delivered the information via mindlink.

Zion’s entire demeanor changed in an instant. His face darkened, tension radiating from him like a coming storm. Without delay, he looked toward the Alpha King with urgency.
