The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Chapter 460 WereBear

Instead of looking down on Levi, Chase recognized something unusual about him, something remarkable. Perhaps Levi had grown used to being around Alphas, after all, Addison’s other two mates were Alphas. But no... if Chase was correct, it wasn’t experience or familiarity. It had something to do with Levi’s bloodline, his background.

Being an outsider and not one of those people who usually interacted with Levi allowed Chase to see what others hadn’t noticed. Those close to Levi might have thought it normal, but from Chase’s perspective, Levi’s confidence, his unshakable composure in the face of an Alpha, was extraordinary.

But he didn’t voice his suspicions. That was for Levi to discover on his own, knowledge that would surely help him in the future, especially now that Levi was Addison’s mate. As for himself, he had his own problems to deal with.

Still, he didn’t forget to acknowledge the help Levi had given, however small.

"Thanks."

The word came out cool and distant, but a faint sincerity flickered in his eyes. He simply didn’t know how to express what he felt. Years spent sleeping among vipers, surrounded by enemies he could never lower his guard around had taught him to bury his emotions too well. Over time, he had nearly forgotten how to feel at all.

That was also why, unlike Zion, Maxwell, and Levi’s reaction upon meeting their fated mate had been different from his. He had experienced it once before; he already knew what it felt like. So when he met Addison this time, his response was restrained, subdued.

Yet beneath that calm exterior, his chest was surely in turmoil.

Happiness, worry, and countless tangled emotions churned within him. It was quiet, deep, and impossible to ignore.

But before Chase could say anything more, Levi moved. He nearly hauled Chase up onto his shoulder.

Fortunately, Chase was a little larger than him. So instead, Levi ended up hooking Chase’s arm over his own shoulder, bracing him and pulling him to his feet. Yet Levi’s lingering jealousy and his little unresolved suspicions toward Chase made him rougher than necessary. He failed to rein in his strength, yanking Chase up from the ground with little care.

"Ugh..."

Even though Chase’s body had been hardened through countless battles, the abrupt movement sent a jolt through his already damaged insides. Pain flared sharply, forcing a muffled grunt from his throat. He didn’t know whether Levi had done it on purpose, but if he had, Chase understood.

After all, if their positions were reversed, he wouldn’t be pleased either, not when there were already two love rivals and then another came, which was now standing between him and the woman they all loved.

"I’m sorry..." Levi murmured.

The apology sounded half-hearted even to his own ears. He couldn’t help wondering if Chase was exaggerating, being a little too delicate on purpose, to make him look bad in front of Addison.

Still, Levi paused and reflected on his actions. Whether he liked it or not, Chase was injured, and more importantly, he had given them critical information. Levi adjusted his grip, this time moving with deliberate care, supporting Chase more gently as they guided him out of the dungeon cell.

As Chase emerged between Levi and Addison, the warriors stationed nearby exchanged knowing glances. Their lips pressed together in unspoken understanding as they deliberately looked away, pretending not to notice anything at all while allowing the three of them to pass.

Only after they had moved on did the warriors fall in behind them, leaving the original guards behind to resume their watch over the dungeon.

"We’ll leave everything here to you..." The warrior, following closely behind Addison and the others, said to the guards.

The guards immediately straightened, their expressions turning solemn as they nodded in firm agreement.

But the moment Chase was escorted out of the dungeon, a ripple of unrest spread among the remaining prisoners. Hope flared in their eyes, if Chase could leave, then perhaps they still had a chance.
