The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Now Or Never

After a while, the warriors’ distant murmurs faded into silence. Still, the vampires didn’t move. They remained hidden in the shadows, choosing to wait longer as they studied the patrol pattern.

They needed to memorize the rotation schedule to avoid crossing paths with any warriors by accident. Changing their route wasn’t an option; it would only extend their journey and expose them to greater risks. Besides, no matter which path they took, the borders were tightly guarded.

Their only choice was to stay the course, using this time to carefully observe and time their escape through the cracks in the patrol coverage.

The thought of slipping past the werewolves undetected, right under their noses, thrilled the three vampires. The boldness of it, the sheer audacity, made them giddy with excitement. The more they entertained the idea, the more determined they became to make it happen. And so, they did. They successfully bypassed one pack, and by the next day, their confidence had grown dangerously high.

With adrenaline coursing through their veins, they became bolder, convinced they could escape the werewolves’ detection so long as they masked their scent. The thrill of the challenge made them reckless, arrogant even, and Addison noticed it. She began to wonder if she could take advantage of their overconfidence. But she also knew that any opportunity to escape would need to be swift and decisive.

Still, her body was paying the price. Battered and sore, especially around her abdomen, Addison struggled to remain limp as they carried her like a sack of grain.

The vampire holding her had skin like metal, and every time he moved, ran, leapt, or walked briskly, her stomach slammed against his shoulder, sending jolts of pain through her already numb core. It was getting harder and harder to keep up the act. Her body trembled under the strain, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep pretending much longer.

But since she couldn’t remember anything, nothing about her past, her skills, or her limits, Addison didn’t even know if she could fight, let alone run fast enough to escape. That uncertainty weighed heavily on her. She needed answers she didn’t have. All she could do now was pray.

’Moon Goddess, please... give me a sign. Help me escape. Please,’ she begged silently, her lashes trembling as her thoughts turned desperate.

"Shhh. I think another patrol’s coming," one of the vampires warned in a hushed tone.

Addison instinctively held her breath. Then, faintly, she heard it—"Alpha..." Just that one word made her heart skip a beat. The rest of the murmurs were too soft to decipher, but that word alone was enough to stir something deep within her.

There was an Alpha nearby.

The vampires realized it, too. Their expressions turned grim, and their movements grew more cautious. Only when the Alpha’s presence faded into the distance did they make their retreat, faster, tenser than before, eager to get far away.

Addison hadn’t caught the full conversation, but judging by the vampires’ reaction, they had heard it all. Their enhanced senses, especially hearing, gave them a clear edge. A cruel reminder of how much she lacked in this fight for her freedom.

Seeing how hastily the vampires retreated, without even pausing to study the warriors’ patrol sequence, Addison realized something crucial: either the Alpha nearby was powerful enough to defeat them, or they simply weren’t confident enough to face him in a fight. That realization sparked something in her.

’This must be the Moon Goddess’s sign.’ She thought. The further they moved from the Alpha, the more anxious she became, her instincts screaming at her not to waste this opportunity.

Then, in a single sharp moment, Addison moved.

During their rush, the vampire holding her loosened his grip just enough. Addison, who had been playing dead all along, finally acted. While they had gone off to eat earlier, she’d secretly worked a shard of bone against the rope binding her wrists, weakening it little by little. Now, with a sudden twist of her arms and a silent surge of effort, the rope snapped.

She bolted toward the direction where she sensed the Alpha.
