The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483: Chapter 483 A Fight

"Addie... I’m sorry if we were too loud, and if things got heated," Levi whispered. "I know you don’t like it when things spiral out of control, and when we fight among ourselves."

He spoke as if he were consoling her, yet it felt more like a quiet confession, as though he were reporting everything to her and waiting for her guidance. Only when Addison spoke, when she told them what to do or how to fix things, did Levi truly feel at ease. Because that meant she was fine.

But now, she was silent.

And that silence made his heart restless.

He hated seeing her like this. It felt as though something inside him was breaking.

Earlier, when he had asked Maxwell about such a private matter, it was surely out of curiosity and suspicion. But he only wanted to make sure nothing could hurt Addison again, especially if it was tied to secrets or a dangerous past. And given where Maxwell came from, anything involving him and the Dark Witches was bound to be dangerous.

That was what frightened Levi most.

Maxwell’s refusal to say anything felt like a problem waiting to surface, one that would only cause greater trouble later on. Yet Levi also knew it wasn’t something he could force, not with Maxwell being an Alpha himself. Some truths couldn’t be beaten out of a man, no matter how desperate the situation was.

Zion had reached the same conclusion. Even if he acted on those thoughts, there was no guarantee he would come out of it unscathed. Maxwell was just as strong as he was. Worse still, if Addison were to wake up and find them locked in a life-or-death confrontation simply to force Maxwell to talk, she would be dragged into the middle of it all.

And even then, there was no certainty that Maxwell would speak. In fact, it was far more likely that he wouldn’t.

That was why Zion had ultimately backed off and chosen to calm himself down.

They all understood it, even if none of them said it aloud: emotions were running too high because of Addison’s condition. In that state, any conversation, no matter how well-intentioned, was bound to set someone off. The tension was simply too tight.

For now, the best course of action was distance. To step away. To cool their heads, especially the two Alphas, who were far more prone to being provoked, angered, or pushed toward aggression.

But that didn’t mean Levi was ready to give up on Maxwell’s secret.

Judging by Maxwell’s reaction, it was something significant, perhaps deeply personal. Levi knew he might have stepped on a sore spot, but it felt unavoidable. That secret could be a crucial lead, one that might help them understand the Dark Witches better and, in turn, uncover the true nature of the curse placed on Addison.

If they could free Addison’s wolf from its seal, even partially, they would finally have room to breathe. Her body would become stronger, better able to withstand the strain of wielding the power of Light, a strain that was clearly taking its toll on her now.

And it was unrealistic to believe Addison could simply stop using that power. Not when the situation was spiraling out of control, not when the danger grew with every step closer to the truth.

The deeper they went, the darker and murkier the current beneath them became.

More than ever, Addison would need her wolf in the coming fight, especially when they still didn’t know who their true enemy was.

Levi pressed a gentle kiss to Addison’s forehead and drew a deep breath. "I just hope the two of them realize this... and stop causing trouble because of their pride and ego," he murmured, thinking of Maxwell and Zion in particular.

Not far from the temporary settlement, Zion and Maxwell stood face to face by the riverbank. Zion’s brow was furrowed, dissatisfaction etched across his features. Maxwell, meanwhile, regarded him with that same cold indifference that never failed to tick Zion off.

They stared at each other for a long, tense moment before Zion finally drew a steadying breath. "If you were planning to take a soak here, I’ll take my leave," he said, attempting to pass by.
