The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Their Departure

"We’re ready to depart," Alpha Hue reported the moment he saw them approach. "The only ones remaining are the guards you brought and the warriors stationed at the borders for support. Once they receive the signal to retreat, they’ll fall back together with the mages’ group."

He noticed the gloom shadowing their expressions and the heaviness in their aura, but he chose not to comment on it.

"Understood. We’ll head out now. The other Alphas have already left their territories. We need to reach the rendezvous point as soon as possible," Zion said, casting one last look back.

"Prepare to depart!" he commanded, his voice booming. Without even bothering to remove his clothes, he shifted into his wolf form in an instant. Maxwell followed right after, equally silent and tense.

Alpha Hue could tell their minds were elsewhere, their thoughts far heavier than the task at hand, so he didn’t attempt to stop or question them. Instead, he signaled the convoy to move and walked alongside the warriors escorting the carriages.

「Back to Addison’s side...」

After hugging Addison as tightly as if his life depended on it, Levi slowly loosened his hold. He pursed his lips before speaking. "Addie... I really don’t know what I should do right now. But... can you give me more time?"

He had already made a silent decision in his heart to grow stronger and change, to do something different from what he used to be. But he still wasn’t sure if it would work out. And despite everything, he hadn’t fully given up on the rejection yet.

After all, they hadn’t marked each other, and that meant there was still room for both him and Addison to maneuver if something happened in the future. If it ever came to it, he could let her go to free her from the burden.

But earlier, hearing what she said about needing him, Levi felt his heart warm, his resolve wavering. At the same time, it made him want to become someone better for her.

But right now, he couldn’t tell Addison any of this. He knew it would only dampen her mood, especially when she believed they were finally okay and had already talked things through. Maybe she even thought he was asking for more time just to sort out his feelings, not because of the rejection.

And he didn’t want to clarify that now.

"Alright, take as much time as you need..." Addison said as she gently patted his head. Then she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of his lips. It wasn’t like the kisses they used to share, those heated, breath-stealing kisses filled with hunger and desire.

This one was light, innocent, almost tender... and somehow, it warmed Levi’s heart even more. That feather-soft touch sent a tingling sensation through him, like his heart was being brushed by the gentlest whisper of a feather.

But before he could even react, Addison had already slipped out of the room.

The moment she stepped into the hallway, the faint scents of Zion and Maxwell brushed against her senses, proof that the two of them had been standing outside for a while, likely hearing little bits and pieces of her conversation with Levi.

It didn’t matter to her, though.

She glanced around, searching for them, but there were no lingering presences nearby. With a small frown, she headed to her room, but it was empty. She then went to their own rooms, but that too was vacant, and even their magic bags, where they kept all their belongings, were gone.

She exhaled softly, forcing her logical side to take over. ’They couldn’t wait for her forever. They were running out of time.’
