The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Three Years Later

Three Years after....

"Addison, are you really leaving?" Silas asked softly, her crimson eyes filled with sorrow as she watched Addison prepare to depart. The younger woman stood tall, her long silver hair tied in a high ponytail, her golden eyes—bright and warm like molten gold—turning back to meet Silas’s gaze with a gentle smile.

"Silas, I’ve spent three years here in the Sacred Land. It’s time I return to my own domain," Addison said kindly. "My father needs help managing his territory—and more than that, he deserves time to spend with my mother. He’s been begging me to come back, honestly."

She let out a lighthearted chuckle before stepping forward and pulling Silas into a heartfelt embrace. "You’re always welcome to visit me, you know."

For three long years, Silas had treated her like a beloved younger sister. But Addison had never forgotten who Silas truly was—the Saintess of the Sacred Land, a woman whose status surpassed even the pope, whose words were revered as divine truth. To the people, she was a living miracle, loved and worshipped. Yet in these quiet moments, she was simply Silas—the one who stood by Addison’s side through healing and hardship.

After eight months of arduous travel, Elric, Maxwell, Hue, and their entire entourage finally arrived at the Sacred Land. They moved with haste, driven by urgency. Though they were granted entry by the Saintess herself, their towering forms and distinctly powerful presence made it clear to the human inhabitants that they were not ordinary men—they were werewolves.

The difference in species did not go unnoticed. Whispers followed them, and wary gazes trailed their every step. But with the Saintess’ permission securing their stay, no one dared voice an objection.

Their group paid little mind to the suspicious stares as they made their way to the temple where the Saintess resided. The temple was breathtaking—entirely white with elegant gold plating embellishing the pillars, doors, chairs, and especially the sacred chamber. Inside this chamber, waist-deep holy water filled nearly the entire room, shimmering under the divine light.

At the far end stood a throne, the place where the Saintess would sit or kneel in prayer to the gods. A single, narrow bridge stretched across the water from the grand entrance to the throne, serving as the only path through which one could approach the Saintess when summoned.

When they arrived, the Saintess welcomed them as if she had been expecting their arrival all along. Without waiting for any explanations or requests, she immediately gave an order—to bring Addison to the Sacred Land. There was no need for formalities, proof, or persuasion. Elric was stunned. He stood there speechless, unable to grasp how the Saintess already knew their purpose.

Still reeling from surprise, Elric sent a report to the Alpha King, detailing the unexpected development. Shortly after, Addison was sent to the Sacred Land under the escort of the Royal Guards, sparing Elric and his entourage from the need to make a return journey.

To Elric’s astonishment, Addison was warmly welcomed by the Saintess’s people upon arrival. He couldn’t understand why the Saintess treated Addison with such reverence and care, but it soon became clear that her healing was no simple task. The Saintess devoted immense time and energy to the process, and Addison’s path to recovery was long, difficult, and filled with unseen challenges and danger.

Now, after three years of healing, Addison was finally well enough to return. She looked radiant, just like she had before her coming of age. Seeing her like this, Elric couldn’t help but shed a few tears. He was overjoyed and even more eager for the Alpha King and Queen to see their daughter again. They had been waiting anxiously for her return, counting down the days.
