The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Interrogation Turning Into...

Then her gaze caught his golden eyes, and in them, she could almost see the wolf within him, eager to break free and greet her. His chiseled jaw tightened as he realized she was studying him silently.

Every muscle in his body tensed; he was painfully aware of her scrutiny. Would she be disappointed to have a mate like him? Or worse, would she reject him? The weight of possibility made his wolf stir frantically, wild and restless beneath his skin.

"You... are Chase?" Addison’s soft, trembling voice reached his ears. He watched her closely, noting every micro-expression on her face, while Levi stood beside her, coiled and ready to tear him apart in his barely restrained rage.

Who would have thought things would turn out like this?

They had prepared for everything, even a sneak attack, but never had they prepared for a mate recognition to occur the moment they met. The realization caught both Addison and Levi off guard. Levi, in particular, felt as though he had been openly challenged, and he couldn’t accept it so easily.

Fortunately, Maxwell and Zion weren’t present. If they had heard what Levi had just heard, true carnage might already have broken out.

Addison couldn’t believe it either that she had another mate. The realization struck her like a physical blow, making her sway on her feet. Luckily, Levi was there to support her.

Her mind buzzed, as if rebooting after the impact, but she was also overwhelmed by Chase’s intoxicating scent. She couldn’t even pretend it was fake. The powerful pull of the mate bond was unmistakable, the same undeniable sensation she had felt when she recognized her other three mates.

There was no way to claim Chase was using witchcraft or deception to pull this off. Her body, her instincts, and the mate-bond itself told her the truth. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Levi, however, wasn’t so quick to believe it.

He knew Chase was working with their enemy, and that enemy had close ties to Dark Witches. Dark Witches were infamous for their vile spells, like making love potions that could forcibly convince someone they were in love, compelling them to obey every command in the name of affection; or curses that stripped the victims of their free will and ensured absolute obedience.

If such spells existed, then faking a mate bond didn’t seem impossible.

Because of Chase, Levi was reminded of Leon, the bastard who had once dragged Addison before his god and forcibly bound her to him. That memory alone was enough to make Levi believe there had to be other methods, other rituals Dark Witches could use to imitate or fabricate a mate bond’s connection.

There was no way Levi could accept this so easily. Unlike Addison, he couldn’t feel the mate bond at all. What he felt instead was something far more primal, and that is, someone trespassing on his territory, attempting to claim what was already his.

Levi had only just begun to accept that he might actually be worthy of Addison, and now, another obstacle had appeared. That was why it was so hard for him to accept this, or perhaps he was simply refusing to. Denying Chase’s claim was easier than facing what it meant.

A low growl rumbled from Levi’s chest, growing louder as his eyes flared gold, as his wolf peered through his gaze.

The thought alone made his wolf bristle, rage flooding his vision until all he could see was red. Panic set in as countless what ifs tore through his mind.
