The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - 5 Being Invited To Dinner

The next day, the sun glaringly pierced through the curtains. She couldn't remember when she had fallen asleep the night before, but as far as she recalled, she dozed off in the woods after crying the entire night.

But now...

She looked around and saw that she was back in the Alpha suite, she was baffled but she picked up a familiar scent.

Lemon and honey, she instantly knew who had brought her back. "Gamma Levi."

A smile spread on her lips, but her eyes looked dull and lifeless, it wasn't the first time Gamma Levi brought her back to her room, she often fell asleep in her Luna office when she was too busy to come back to her room to rest and would sometimes pass out, out of exhaustion.

Although she knew that Gamma Levi was looking out for her, she felt more pain in her heart, because it shouldn't be his responsibility to care for her, it should be her mate's...

Sadness spread to her heart.

Giggles-

A distinct giggle coming out from outside the ajar window caught her attention as she slowly stood up from her bed.

"Zion! This place is amazingly beautiful!" Claire giggled as she held onto Zion's arms playfully, Zion too looked worried but indulgent as he guided her to walk slowly on the stone path, coming from the side where Addison's flower garden was built, the garden she built and shaped with her own hands throughout the years.

"As long as you are happy, I'll always accompany you as much as you like." Zion's magnetic and deep chuckle tickled Addison's ears, it was gentle and warm.

Addison stared blankly out the window at Zion and Claire, one was looking dashingly handsome, tall and strong with his healthy honey-colored skin, midnight black hair, and striking emerald eyes, his chiseled features made his handsome face look rugged yet regal.

Beside him, Claire was like a breath of spring—full of life, radiant and captivating. Her golden locks fluttered in the gentle breeze, and her honey-brown eyes sparkled as she smiled under the sun. Together, they looked effortlessly perfect.

She didn't know how long she'd been watching them, but suddenly, Zion seemed to sense her gaze and looked up toward the fourth floor's alpha suite. His cold, piercing eyes met hers, and the warmth he'd shown moments before was gone, replaced by a searing hatred and even disgust. He made no attempt to hide his emotions, his lips curling into a snarl as he continued to glare at her.

"Zion, is everything alright?" Claire asked gently, placing her hand on his chest in an attempt to calm him. Zion held her hand, his fingers tightening around hers, but his gaze never wavered from Addison. With one last look of disdain, his voice slipped menacingly into Addison's mind through their mind link, dripping with contempt.

"Don't even think about trying anything while I'm here. Just stay silent and act like you don't exist," Zion's voice growled menacingly through the mind link, his tone laced with warning.

'Maybe his hatred for me, his disgust, is strong enough to make him override his feelings. Even the mate bond... can't reach him.' Addison thought, a weak whimper escaping her lips as a sharp pang of sadness pierced her heart at the very thought of it.
