The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Not Enough

With deliberate slowness, he brought the fingers that had been inside her to his mouth, sucking them clean. Addison’s lower abdomen tightened again, a mix of frustration and desire flooding her. She knew Levi was teasing her, and she couldn’t resist.

Swallowing the lump in her throat, she watched him, his free hand stroking his cock, the hard length of him on full display beneath his pants as it created a tent. Just seeing it like this made her ache even more. She knew she still hadn’t had enough.

Levi hadn’t meant to tease Addison or deliberately tempt her, but the sight of her so undone stirred something fierce inside him. Before he could stop himself, he brought his fingers to his mouth, slowly licking them clean of her sweet love juice.

He knew she was watching, and instead of looking away, he met her gaze head-on, his eyes dark and taunting as his other hand moved in a slow, deliberate stroke over his cock.

He watched her closely, waited until he could see his own reflection mirrored in her eyes, which looked glassy, heated, and filled with want. He hadn’t known he could be like this, so unrestrained, so intoxicatingly aware of the effect he had on her.

"Addie..." Levi drawled, his voice low and magnetic, like a siren’s call pulling a sailor toward ruin.

Just hearing her name on his lips made Addison’s lower abdomen churn violently. She sucked in a shaky breath, biting down on her lower lip as she struggled with the temptation curling inside her, knowing full well they couldn’t go any further, yet aching to do exactly that.

"P-Princess...! Where’s the Princess?!"

The distant shout cut through Addison’s tangled haze of lust and rational thought like a blade. She stiffened, the sound snapping her fully back to reality. Even Levi paused, his gaze lifting toward the direction of the voice, his brows knitting together.

He wasn’t truly angry that their moment had been interrupted, but disappointment flickered unmistakably in his eyes. They had been right on the edge of going further; the two of them had been wanting to do it since earlier, and part of him had wanted to really go for it.

Unfortunately, the situation had never been on his side.

Levi exhaled slowly, forcing his breathing to steady as he withdrew, pushing down the heat still coiled tightly inside him. It took effort, far more than he liked, but he knew he needed to calm down.

Because they needed Addison.

Standing up, he reached into his magic bag and pulled out a fresh pair of pants, handing them to her without a word. He turned slightly away as she cleaned herself up and changed, and he used the moment to take several deep breaths, grounding himself, forcing his thoughts back under control.

Once she was dressed, Addison stepped out from behind the tree. Levi stayed where he was, lingering in the shadows, giving himself a few more moments to rein in his still-raging desire before following after her.

Addison shot him a reluctant look. She could tell, far too clearly, that he was still struggling, the unmet desire leaving him tense and uncomfortable, maybe even in pain. Yet Levi only offered her a gentle smile, lifting a hand to ruffle her hair in quiet reassurance.

"Don’t worry about me," he said softly. "I’ll take care of it myself. Just go, attend to your duty. I’ll be fine." His voice was deep and husky, steady despite everything simmering beneath the surface.

"But—" Addison started, unwilling to leave it at that.

Levi cut her off with a light squeeze of her hand and a look that brooked no argument, warmth and resolve mingling in his eyes.

"Don’t worry," Levi said quietly. "I’ll be fine. I’ll take care of it."

The moment the words left his mouth, an image flashed through Addison’s mind, unbidden, vivid enough to make her breath hitch. Heat rushed to her face as understanding dawned, and the sudden rush of flustered thoughts only made the tight coil in her stomach twist even more.

Levi caught it instantly, the subtle scent of her arousal mingling in the air, and his eyes darkened, a storm brewing beneath the surface. Before either of them could think better of it, he leaned in and captured her lips. The kiss was brief but fierce, stealing her breath all over again.

"Damn it, Addie..." he muttered against her mouth before pulling back with effort. "Don’t look at me like that. And that scent... how am I supposed to calm down when you’re doing this to me?"

Someone who ran like that only did so for one reason.

Something important had happened.

The moment the warrior noticed her presence, Addison spoke without preamble. "Follow me."

She turned and headed straight for the pack house. Earlier, before Alpha Hue left for the temporary shelter with his pack members, he had also left her a note, granting her full use of his office to convene important meetings, especially those that needed to remain classified rather than discussing it in the open.

Seeing the warrior now, Addison was certain this was one of those situations. Whatever he had to report was not meant for public ears.

"Yes, Princess," the warrior replied immediately, falling into step behind her.

As they left, the guards working on the hot-air balloon caught sight of them. Noticing the seriousness in both Addison’s expression and the warrior’s demeanor, none of them spoke. They simply lowered their heads and returned to their tasks, instinctively understanding that something significant was unfolding.

Addison and the warrior moved quickly, returning to the now-deserted pack house with no one else in sight. By the time they reached Alpha Hue’s office on the first floor, the silence felt heavy and suffocating.

Addison didn’t hesitate. She crossed the room and settled into Alpha Hue’s leather chair as naturally as if it had always been hers, showing not a trace of awkwardness. Turning the chair to face the warrior, she rested her chin against the backs of her intertwined hands, her posture composed and commanding.

"Please report," Addison said, her tone calm but serious.

Any lingering restlessness from earlier was long gone, swept away by the chill of the night air and replaced with sharp focus.
