The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Ending So Abruptly

Their eyes followed the fish’s trajectory as if time itself had slowed.

Then...

Slap!

The fish smacked squarely into Maxwell’s face.

Instinctively, Maxwell swiped back. His paw sent the unfortunate fish flying out of the river and straight toward Alpha Hue’s feet, where it landed with a frantic flop.

Silence fell over the riverbank.

Everyone stared at the fish flailing on the ground... then slowly looked back at the two massive wolves.

Zion and Maxwell locked eyes with each other.

For the first time since the fight began, neither of them moved.

The sudden, awkward silence lingered in the air.

Just moments ago, both Maxwell and Zion had been drowning in aggression, their emotions stretched taut to the breaking point, but the fish’s untimely appearance shattered that tension completely. The rage that had fueled them faltered, leaving neither of them quite sure how to continue.

They stared at each other for a heartbeat longer.

Then Zion looked away.

A faint glint flashed in his eyes as the corners of them curved upward. He stepped out of the knee-deep water and shifted back into his human form, his shoulders trembling as he struggled to hold back his laughter.

Walking over, Zion picked up the fish by its tail and casually waved it in Maxwell’s direction.

"Looks like sparring works up an appetite," he said lightly, his tone dripping with mockery. "Thanks for the treat."

The jab was unmistakable.

Before Maxwell could even react, Zion had already turned and headed back toward the temporary shelter, the fish dangling from his hand, leaving behind a riverbank filled with stunned silence and one very humiliated Alpha.

No one had expected the heated battle to end so abruptly, much less be broken by something as ridiculous as an icebreaker, or for Alpha Zion to casually tease Alpha Maxwell and dismiss what had clearly been a vicious fight as mere sparring.

Yet no one said a word.

In truth, many of them were fighting the urge to laugh. And more importantly, none of them wanted to risk provoking either of the two Alphas again, especially now that the suffocating aggression had finally ebbed. So, one by one, they scattered like startled chickens, retreating with remarkable speed.

Even Alpha Hue, who found the situation far funnier than he cared to admit, turned on his heel and hurried back to his duties, shoulders shaking as he held in his laughter.

Soon, the riverbank was empty.

Silence returned, broken only by the sound of water flowing gently past the stones. Maxwell remained where he stood, staring ahead, still trying to process what had just happened, only realizing the full absurdity of it all once everyone was gone.

Only after everyone had left did Maxwell shift back into his human form. The cold, indifferent mask he usually wore cracked slightly, a faint smile briefly crossing his face.
