The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Brainstorming

"And for the biochemical agent to contain a demonic component... with a demonic creature showing up all the way out here... was Leon part of this conspiracy? Or was he just used, turned into a tool to deliver this thing straight into our hands?"

"So that once we used it, once we realized we’d been dancing in someone else’s palm, the despair would hit even harder? Because knowing we brought this disaster into our own kingdom with our own hands... that would devastate anyone."

Maxwell’s brows drew together so tightly it looked like he could crush a fly between them. The moment Zion mentioned Leon, a bitter taste spread across his tongue. He remembered that bastard, how he tried to force himself into Addison’s life, claiming to be her mate and defying the very order set by the Moon Goddess.

Maxwell hadn’t even settled the score with him yet, and now Leon was causing trouble again.

He didn’t know whether Leon was working with their enemies or if he’d simply been used as a pawn, but either possibility made Maxwell’s stomach twist. And the worst part? Addison had even invited Leon into her kingdom... like welcoming a threat straight into their own home.

Was this the enemy’s intention from the beginning?

Maxwell couldn’t help but think so.

"Do you think that arrogant tiger knew about this? That he played us?" Maxwell muttered, suddenly feeling the strength drain from his body. Exhaustion settled on him like a weight.

Zion shook his head. "That bastard? I doubt it. If he did, then he deserves an award because he acted damn well. He even managed to cling to our mate and get himself invited here. But honestly... if Leon were truly involved, then bringing him into our territory would’ve been the same as inviting a tiger into our house, literally."

Zion exhaled sharply as he sorted through the possibilities. "Think about it. The Tigren Clan is arrogant and prideful, sure, but they’re brutes at heart. All brawn, little brain. Leon might be a bit more cunning than the others, but even his schemes are limited by his own arrogance."

"If he ever thought he could take on the werewolf kingdom, he wouldn’t sneak around or conspire in the shadows. He’d go to war with us head-on. And if not for his obsession with forcing himself on Addison, he probably would’ve declared war just to take her."

Zion shook his head again. "No... a plot like this? It’s beneath him."

"So, even he’s been played like a pawn, delivering the biochemical agent to us as if he were helping us deal with a disaster, never realizing that he was only pouring oil on the fire! And we, foolishly, even gave him some of our cattle and food..." Maxwell roared, his voice rising several notches.

Those around them were startled and turned to look, prompting Zion to jump and clamp his hands over Maxwell’s mouth. If Maxwell’s outburst spread, it would surely incite panic, fear, and chaos, and they couldn’t afford that.

"Don’t get overly excited..." Zion whispered through gritted teeth, struggling to contain the fury bubbling inside him. Maxwell’s eyes were already glowing gold, his wolf Reagan on the verge of bursting free, ready to wreak havoc as it stewed in anger. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"We need to think. We have at most an hour before the other packs arrive, and then we’ll have to move again. Once we set off for the temporary settlement, it’ll be even more impossible to reach Addison before they release the biochemical agent." His voice grew darker with every word. "And if we are being monitored, leading them toward that settlement would expose everyone. We’d get attacked from both sides."
