The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Time Alone

To say Levi’s wolf wasn’t wounded in its pride would be a lie. The moment Greg managed to one-up them, the wolf’s confidence was the first thing that took the blow. But even then, it forced itself to push that humiliation aside and stand tall, because Greg hadn’t beaten them with strength or honor. He played dirty, refused to face them head-on.

So doubting their own strength was unfair... yet the damage had already been done. Its pride was hurt, and once that shadow of doubt settled in, it clung stubbornly, a lingering whisper that refused to be shaken off. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Levi... talk to me, will you?" Addison’s voice drifted through the door again. It was soft, gentle, and laced not with impatience, but with hurt and sadness. That tone alone felt like it reached straight into Levi’s chest. Both he and his wolf felt their hearts twist, shattering under the weight of her sadness.

Levi couldn’t hold out any longer.

A moment later, the door creaked open from the inside. The room was dim and heavy with gloom, but the instant Addison saw Levi’s pale face and downcast eyes, she didn’t hesitate; she threw herself forward and wrapped him in a tight embrace.

"Levi, talk to me... hmm?" Addison coaxed softly as she nuzzled her cheek against his solid chest. His scent grew stronger with every brush of fabric against his skin. It was warm and refreshing, a familiar citrus note that instantly soothed her anxious little heart.

It was the same scent she clung to back in the Midnight River Pack when loneliness threatened to swallow her whole.

The same scent she breathed in every morning she woke up after working herself to exhaustion. The same scent that lingered in her office because Levi was always there, quietly supporting her.

And even during the nights she cried herself to sleep, or when she was in the forest after feeling Zion’s coldness when he brought Claire home, every morning, without fail, it was this scent she woke up to.

This scent that comforted her.

This scent that pulled her back together.

So staying by Levi’s side when he was feeling down was the least Addison could do. "Come on... let’s go inside. Even if you don’t want to talk, let me stay with you, okay? Hmm?" she murmured gently.

She tilted her head up to peek at him, but with their height difference, all she could see was the sharp line of his chiseled jaw and the steady rise and fall of his prominent Adam’s apple.

When Addison acted like this, Levi simply couldn’t say no to her. Without a word, he stepped back, a quiet gesture that told her she was welcome to stay with him, even if he wasn’t ready to talk.

Maybe he still hadn’t sorted through his thoughts, or maybe the storm of emotions inside him hadn’t settled enough for him to understand them himself.

Addison understood.

She didn’t push him to open up. There were moments when silence was the only comfort someone needed, the assurance that they weren’t fighting their battles alone, that someone was there, steady and patient, ready to listen when the words finally came.

And that was the feeling Addison wanted Levi to have. She could sense the subtle guard he had put up, the uncertainty in him. His emotions were tangled and raw, and forcing him to speak now might only make him more confused.

So instead, she offered him quiet companionship, giving him the space to breathe at his own pace.
