The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Addison’s Return

Since Addison was returning to her home continent—and the journey would take an exceptionally long time if done through normal means—Silas permitted Elric to create a direct portal from the Sacred Land’s temple, where Silas resided, to the Werewolf Royal Grounds. This way, Addison’s newly healed body wouldn’t be strained by a journey that could take at least six months, depending on their pace.

Given Addison’s recent recovery, Silas knew Elric would likely slow their travel for her sake, possibly extending the trip to a full year. That’s why she made the decision to allow the portal: to spare Addison the hardship. After all, Silas now considered Addison her sister.

Because of this return, Elric had to prepare a long-range teleportation spell, which took him an entire week to complete. At present, only Addison, the Royal Guards assigned to protect her, and Elric’s original entourage were returning with him. Maxwell and Hue had already returned six months earlier due to their own circumstances.

Unfortunately, while Silas was able to help Addison heal, she couldn’t provide any assistance with Maxwell’s inquiries. What he was seeking was far more complex, requiring more concrete clues and specifics before Silas could intervene. As a result, Maxwell and Hue had no choice but to return early and continue their search.

They chose to trace Addison’s path from when she went missing three years ago, leading them to the vampire territory—or more precisely, the border between the Vampire and Werewolf domains—hoping to find signs of the dark witch they were after.

"Princess Addison, the portal is open. We can leave anytime," Elric reminded gently.

Addison, however, was still holding Silas in her arms, comforting her as the Saintess quietly cried. The two had grown close during their time together, and the thought of parting made it difficult for both. Still, knowing she could visit Addison anytime brought Silas some comfort.

But as the Saintess of the Sacred Land—essentially the governor of the entire continent—Silas carried enormous responsibilities she couldn’t easily set aside. Though she was free to visit in theory, in practice, it would require extensive preparation, and such a visit wouldn’t happen anytime soon.

Silas gave a final nod to Addison and those accompanying her. She had prepared many gifts for Addison, including several vials of holy water for protection, especially against vampires. Silas remained fearful that the vampires, having failed once before, might attempt to kidnap Addison again.

Once Addison returned, the Alpha King would surely announce her arrival in a grand and public manner. If the vampires truly had spies within the Royal Grounds, they might see this as a perfect opportunity to strike again.

But even knowing the risks, why would Addison still choose to return without first rooting out the spy to prevent another incident?

The truth was—Addison knew there was a spy. She just didn’t know who it was. And so, instead of waiting passively, she decided to use herself as a bait, to lure the traitor out and expose them.

Silas, aware of Addison’s plan, could only support her and help her prepare. Yet even without Silas, Addison had already made up her mind. She had been bitten once—she wouldn’t allow it to happen again. If she did, she’d be no better than the "stupid mutt" the vampires had once mocked her as. And Addison refused to ever let those words become reality.

Addison gently pulled away from the beautiful woman in front of her. Silas had long, straight, silky pink hair like the soft hue of blooming pink rose petals, that cascaded down to her calves. Her eyes were a serene sky-blue, and her features were delicate and ethereal. No matter how one looked at her, she was breathtaking.

But while Addison’s beauty was bold, seductive, and radiant, Silas’s was soft, comforting, and serene. Their appearances contrasted, yet somehow complemented each other perfectly.

"We’ll see each other again soon, okay?" Addison said softly, offering a warm smile as she patted Silas’s arm reassuringly. Then, without another word, she turned and walked steadily toward the portal.

In the Royal Grounds of the Werewolf Territory, the Alpha King and Queen stood anxiously before the portal, accompanied by the Royal Beta, Gamma, and the King’s most trusted advisor—those few who were fully in the know and could be relied upon without question. Tension hung thick in the air as they waited.

Finally, the portal’s swirling blue energy pulsed brightly, signaling that someone was about to step through. The Alpha King and Queen unconsciously held their breath, eyes fixed ahead.

The first to emerge was Elric, followed closely by his entourage, then several Royal Guards. Just as the anticipation reached its peak, a smaller figure began to materialize amidst the towering forms of the male werewolves—delicate, but unmistakably familiar.

"My baby!" the Queen cried out joyfully, breaking free from her mate’s embrace and rushing toward the familiar figure.

Addison had barely stepped out of the portal when she was nearly knocked off balance by her mother’s enthusiastic hug. Arms wrapped tightly around her neck, the Queen clung to her as if afraid to let go. For a moment, Addison stood stunned, but then her arms came up and she returned the embrace with a soft smile.
