The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482: Chapter 482 The Three Having Disagreement

This was as far as they were willing to compromise, and only because of her.

Especially for Zion.

If not for Addison, he wouldn’t have shown even a fraction of this patience. Under different circumstances, he would have beaten the truth out of Maxwell without hesitation, even if it meant mutual destruction.

"Alright. If you’re not ready to share, then so be it," Zion said, gritting his teeth as he forced his temper down. "But I hope you won’t hide it from us for long. Otherwise... it’ll only hurt Addison."

He held his anger in, not because it wasn’t there, but because he didn’t want to risk the fragile peace between them that Addison mended with her presence. Fighting among themselves now wouldn’t help anyone; it would only make things worse. So, for the moment, Zion chose restraint over confrontation.

Maxwell, suddenly thrust into the center of the conflict, said nothing. His expression remained cold and indifferent, as if Zion and Levi’s questions had touched his reverse scale. A chill spread through the air, subtle but unmistakable. Everyone felt it, yet no one acknowledged it.

Especially Zion.

He had long been aware of Maxwell’s cold aura. In the past, Maxwell rarely spoke unless directly addressed. Only recently had he begun to open up, even initiating conversations on his own.

But now, because of this probing into his secret, he had reverted to his former self. Worse still, there was a faint trace of aggression in his dark eyes, as if, should Zion and Levi push any further, he might strike simply to silence them.

Zion and Levi exchanged a confused glance.

"Alright. Don’t look at us like we’re already dead enemies," Zion snarled, Maxwell’s behavior pricking at his ego as if it were a direct challenge. His temper flared, but after taking several deep, steadying breaths, he forced it back down. That restraint alone was proof of how much he’d changed.

"We’re not trying to pry into your past or gossip about your secrets," Zion continued, his tone firm but controlled. "We’re asking because it might help Addison. Don’t forget, she’s still carrying a curse, and we don’t even know whether it could endanger her life in the future. Anything we learn about the dark witches or curses could make a difference."

He finished speaking, though a part of him sensed Shura bristling inside him, itching to snap back and challenge Maxwell outright, for baring his fangs at them at a time like this.

Even after Zion finished explaining, Maxwell showed no reaction. His eyes merely glinted, sharp and dangerous, as if he were on the verge of attacking. It was then, only then, that Levi stepped between them.

The air was already crackling with tension. He could feel it clearly: two Alphas standing at the edge of their restraint, each seconds away from losing control.

"Don’t start a fight now," Levi said calmly. "Calm your wolves."

He was on edge himself, but he forced his emotions down. If all of them lost control, nothing would be resolved, nothing would help. A full-blown fight would only make things worse for Addison.

"Alpha Maxwell," Levi continued evenly, "if speaking about your situation is a no-go zone, we understand. But if there’s any information you can share that might help Addison, we hope you’ll consider it. We don’t intend to pry into your secrets, nor do we wish to force your trust if you don’t feel we’ve earned it."

His gaze softened slightly.

"And I’m not trying to morally pressure you or tell you what to do. I just hope you’ll think it through. You’re not alone anymore."

Then Levi turned to Zion.
