The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Badge Of Honor

He kept it vague on purpose, skirting the edges of what he could say without triggering the curse again. Rather than revealing plans or details, he offered only what his instincts allowed, a warning, nothing more. Chase leaned back slightly, still fighting for air, while his wolf worked desperately within him, trying to mend the damage he suffered; neither of them could fully see.

Levi furrowed his brow. He knew Chase couldn’t say more, but that didn’t stop his mind from racing. The only thing Chase had given them, intentionally or not, was a hint. The locust swarm.

Which meant whatever was coming was tied to it.

A cold thought crept in. What if their enemy had already anticipated every move? What if their preparations, their plans, even their sense of urgency had all been accounted for? What if, without realizing it, they had been playing along with the enemy’s design from the very beginning?

The realization sat heavily in Levi’s chest.

Across from him, Addison had gone quiet as well, her expression tightening as the same possibilities unfolded in her mind. She didn’t say it aloud, but Levi could tell she was thinking exactly what he was.

Even so, they didn’t know what to do or what to prepare for, to avoid being caught off guard. Asking Chase for more wasn’t an option. With no answers to grasp, both Levi and Addison fell into silence.

Addison’s gaze shifted to Chase. He looked weaker now, his breathing shallow, his posture unsteady. She raised her hand and signaled to the warrior standing a short distance away.

The warrior, still dazed by everything he had witnessed and heard, was staring at them with his mouth slightly open.

"Ahem," Addison cleared her throat.

That snapped him back to his senses. He hurried to the guard holding the key, then rushed back and presented it to Addison with both hands, his posture respectful.

Earlier, his slight distance didn’t really help much.

With a wolf’s heightened senses, he couldn’t simply shut off his hearing. And he couldn’t stray too far either; he was still responsible for backing Levi up in case Chase attempted something reckless.

But instead of a sudden attack, what reached his ears was something far more shocking. What he heard hit him like a blow. He froze where he stood, as if he turned to stone, having completely forgotten to move at all.

Realizing he had overheard more than he should have, the warrior tactfully retreated, moving back to where the other warriors stood guard. He gave Addison, Levi, and Chase the privacy they needed, though his mind continued to churn with restless thoughts.

Meanwhile, Addison took the key and stepped toward the cell. She unlocked the door and reached for the silver cuff...

But before she could touch it, Levi gently took the key from her.

"I’ve got it," he said quietly.
