The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Who Was Their Real Enemy?

"They pass through the communications department first, then get sorted and filtered through several hands before reaching the right offices... only then do they make their way to the Alpha King. Now, think about how many eyes could see that report. If word of this artifact leaks out, it could cause chaos instead of helping us. For all we know, there might be spies or individuals with hidden agendas inside the palace. If we aren’t careful, we’ll end up sabotaging ourselves."

Zion’s voice was steady, but his thoughts were racing. Too much was at stake.

"Alpha... what do you mean by spies and sabotaging ourselves?" Levi asked, clearly baffled. He understood each sentence his Alpha had said—but when taken all together, it felt like he was trying to piece together a completely different language.

"Do you honestly believe the Princess’s abduction six years ago was pulled off by vampires alone, without help from the inside?" Zion said, his voice low with conviction. "Vampires are our enemies—they wouldn’t know the layout of the Royal Grounds well enough to slip in unnoticed. And the palace is one of the most heavily guarded places in the entire domain. Even an elite werewolf would struggle to get past its defenses."

He paused for emphasis, then continued. "My father once told me that the Royal Grounds are protected by a barrier cast by none other than Archmage Elric himself. That barrier was created when he formed his alliance with the Alpha King to show his loyalty—just a few decades ago. And barely a handful of people know how to even weaken it, let alone deactivate it."

Zion’s eyes darkened as he added, "If someone did bring down that barrier, even for a moment, they would have to know how to do it without alerting Elric. Which means there was someone inside the palace—someone with knowledge, access, and motive—who wanted the princess gone. They handed over the Royal Grounds’ layout, timed the breach perfectly, and covered their tracks. So no, Levi, we can’t trust everyone in the palace. Not anymore."

Levi’s eyes widened with sudden realization as Zion’s explanation sank in. It made perfect sense—Zion’s deductions weren’t just based on suspicion, but on a deeper understanding of palace politics and history, much of which he had inherited from his father.

After all, Zion’s father, the former Alpha of the Midnight River Pack, had once ranked second only to Alpha Damon of the North. Both had been regularly summoned to the royal palace by the Alpha King due to the immense responsibilities they carried.

Alpha Damon was the stalwart protector of the North, guarding the sealed gate to the Demon World—a barrier locked by the Pope and Saintess thousands of years ago. His role was nothing short of legendary.

Meanwhile, Zion’s father had been stationed at the borderlands leading into the Vampire Domain. This was no coincidence—his strength and leadership were necessary to hold the line against the vampires, a race infamous for their arrogance and hostility.

Vampires viewed every other species as mere blood banks, and their near-immortality gave them an inflated sense of superiority. Especially the high-ranking ones—unlike werewolves or most other races, they had no natural lifespan, making them believe they were closer to gods than mortals.

Understanding the weight of his Alpha’s words, Levi felt a chill run down his spine. If Zion was right, and someone within the palace had helped orchestrate the Princess’s abduction... then nothing about their current situation was as simple as it seemed.

Perhaps the Alpha King recognized that strength and allowed Zion to retain the post. Or maybe, Levi thought, the King was deliberately making things difficult for Zion—not out of hostility, but as a harsh method to push him to grow, knowing time waits for no one. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
