The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Will He Find Out?

"Who would need wooden toys?"

The words echoed in Addison’s mind like a broken record, a faint buzzing filling her ears. Panic surged, her thoughts overheating, yet her face remained carefully blank.

On the other end of the communication crystal, the Alpha King and Queen had also heard the familiar voice and fallen silent. Even Archmage Elric pressed his lips together; he hadn’t heard any footsteps approaching the tent.

As for Addison, the excitement of talking about her children had made her relax her guard. She had let herself grow too at ease and failed to notice the soft footsteps drawing closer.

Now, a chill crept up her spine. She had no idea how much the newcomer had overheard.

"Z-Zion..." Addison stammered, studying his face for any hint of what he might have heard.

But Zion looked calm, far too calm, as if he’d caught nothing beyond her chatter about crafts and wooden toys. She watched him a moment longer before releasing a quiet, careful sigh of relief.

"You’re back?"

"Um, I came back to check on you. How are you feeling?" Zion said softly as he crossed the room and sat beside her bed.

Without thinking, he reached for Addison and drew her into his arms. The moment her warmth settled against him, the tension in his body eased. He inhaled her familiar, comforting scent, released a quiet breath, and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"I’m feeling better now, so I asked Archmage Elric to come and help me warn my parents..." Addison said, a trace of nervousness and guilt slipping into her voice.

She had already decided to tell Zion about the children, but she knew this wasn’t the right moment. Telling him now would only stir his emotions and cloud his judgment. She needed a safe, private place where they could speak openly.

If Zion grew emotional, at least it wouldn’t endanger him or push him into making reckless decisions, especially now, when a single distraction could cost him his life or make him rush back to the royal capital before it was safe to do so.

Even though Addison hadn’t heard the information Zion shared with Maxwell and the other Alphas, she could piece things together on her own. With what she witnessed this morning, she was sure that the biochemical mist would have affected the wildlife around the Golden Hue Pack and the neighboring territories.

Animals were far more sensitive to danger than humans or other species, so many would have already fled their habitats.

For so many creatures to migrate toward this area or other places, it could only mean one thing, and that is the danger around them had increased. Powerful monsters might now be lurking nearby.

And if Zion learned about the children and decided to rush back to the Royal Capital at any cost, razing monster nests and charging through the wild without regard for his own safety just to speed up their search for materials, Addison didn’t know how she would stop him... or where she would even find the strength to break down afterward.

Zion nodded. "A group of monsters has established a new nest upstream, so I asked Levi to warn the teams in charge of food and supplies to boil all drinking water, especially for the children. We can’t be certain whether those creatures carry parasites or infectious diseases." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
