The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 A Curse?

The Alpha King furrowed his brows. Too many things weren’t adding up—and others were starting to notice as well.

It was clear that the situation was far more complicated than it appeared, and they needed to proceed with extreme caution. At the same time, they had to keep the incident strictly confidential and ensure Addison remained hidden for now.

He immediately sent a mindlink to his Royal Beta. "Inform one of the Convoys that was close to head to the Midnight River Pack and quietly assess the situation there. And keep the princess’s return a secret—no one must find out. Make sure the rest of the Royal Convoy doesn’t suspect anything unusual. Report everything directly to me."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

For now, all he could do was wait for the report from the Royal Convoy sent to the Midnight River Pack. It seemed that the root of all these anomalies originated there, and he was determined to uncover the truth.

After receiving the Alpha King’s instructions, the Royal Beta successfully relayed the message to the Royal Convoy, who happened to be stationed in a neighboring pack.

Unaware of the true situation, the convoy proceeded directly to the Midnight River Pack, still believing their mission was simply to retrieve the princess and escort her back to the Royal Palace.

Although they were late compared to the previously agreed time, the Midnight River Pack would likely remain unsuspecting. Unfortunately, their timing couldn’t have been worse—at that moment, the pack’s Alpha was in a state of frenzy looking for Addison, making it far from ideal to receive visitors.

As for Addison, she had fallen into a coma after dissolving her mate bond with Zion. After seven hours of treatment, both the royal doctor and the royal healer emerged from the medical ward looking utterly drained—so exhausted they could barely stand.

Despite their condition, they immediately went to meet the Alpha King and Queen, as they had urgent information to report.

At that moment, the Alpha King was still in the middle of a discreet interrogation with the two werewolves who had found Addison. According to them, the Alpha who carried Addison was named Maxwell Ackerman, and his Beta was named Hue.

The two had come to the Midnight River Pack searching for the dark witch. After years of hunting for a lead, they had finally uncovered a clue—one that, by chance, and it happened to be located within the Midnight River Pack’s territory.

However, for reasons unknown, their search unexpectedly led them to the princess instead.

Given the circumstances, they could only assume that the princess was under a curse cast by the dark witch. However, they had no idea what kind of curse it was.

Their plan was to bring her back for further testing, hoping to learn more about the curse itself—which they believed might lead them to the dark witch. At that time, they had no idea she was the missing princess; their only focus was uncovering the truth behind the curse.

"Why are you even searching for the dark witch? She’s nothing more than a legend from over five hundred years ago. As far as I know, she was purged and killed by the saintess during her crusade centuries ago," Elric suddenly interjected as the two were explaining the events and the reason for their appearance.

Alpha Maxwell glanced between the Alpha King and Elric before pulling out a necklace. It was enchanted with a spell designed to react in the presence of the dark witch or traces of her curse.

They had been using this necklace for years to search for remnants of the dark witch, but until now, it had never shown any signs. Finally, they had found something—only to discover that the one affected was the princess, which made the situation far more complicated. Even Maxwell seemed troubled by the revelation.
