The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Unlocking A Different Side Of Him

That deep, familiar hunger stirred again; it was hot, insistent, and Addison felt panic clawing up her spine.

She knew this feeling too well.

It was the same craving that had once driven her past the point of control, the same reckless pull that had made her drain Zion nearly dry. Her breath hitched as fear tangled with want, because Levi wasn’t Zion. He wasn’t an Alpha built to withstand that kind of strain, that kind of devouring need. If she lost herself again and if she let the hunger take over, she could hurt him. Break him even.

Was that why Levi was acting like this? Why he looked torn between restraint and surrender, as if something inside him was screaming to claim her while another part of him knew the danger?

Maybe. Or maybe not.

Right now, Addison didn’t know what was going through Levi’s mind.

All she knew was that if she didn’t stop him soon, she wouldn’t stop herself either.

The mate bond burned hot and tight around her chest, urging her closer, whispering that he was hers, that she should take, taste, consume. And beneath it all, that hunger — slow, vicious, and aching — scraped at her insides, begging to be unleashed, to feed, to drown both of them in something wild and irreversible.

And the terrifying truth was... part of her wanted to let it happen.

"L-Levi, we can’t..." Addison gasped, her voice trembling with heat and strain. "Th-that entity... it’s trying to take control of me again..."

Her chest rose sharply as she fought for breath, even as Levi continued to rain desperate kisses along her lips and jaw, chasing her mouth as if he couldn’t bear to let her go. Addison turned her head aside, denying him, not because she didn’t want him, but because she wanted him too much.

They were out in the open. The moment was wrong. And worse, the thing inside her was stirring.

That entity that feeds on a man’s vitality, thriving on carnal desire and surrender, was waking again, and it was drawn to Levi’s closeness. Fear tightened her grip on reality. What if the sudden blaze of want in Levi wasn’t entirely his own? What if the mate bond, or that hunger coiling inside her, had reached out its claws and pulled those feelings from him without his knowing?

Was that even possible?

She wasn’t sure. As far as Addison knew, compared to Zion or Maxwell, Levi possessed far more restraint and reverence toward her. He was not the type who would touch her lightly or think of mating in the open; his respect for her ran far deeper than the fleeting thrill of sex.

That was precisely why his current behavior felt so... different. It was this subtle shift, this unfamiliar intensity, that made Addison entertain such thoughts in the first place.

And that thought hurt more than the restraint.

Because Addison didn’t want Levi’s desire if it was something that was pulled out from within him, summoned, or stolen by forces beyond him.

But at the same time, that burning desire was what fulfilled her. Perhaps she was being too greedy, wanting everything at once. Was this truly her own longing, or was it the influence of the entity within her?

But... if she was going to make amends... if she was going to give herself to him... then she wanted his clearest thoughts. His truest emotions. Not passion warped by instinct, magic, or a ravenous entity whispering between them.
