The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Chapter 509 Levi Loosing Control

Maxwell, however, remained especially focused, his movements calm and precise. With enough patience and concentration, he eventually caught more than a dozen fish swimming in the stream.

The simple activity helped clear his mind of unnecessary worries. As he moved through the water, he was also able to sort through the information they had gathered so far, organizing his thoughts about the unfolding events with a calmer and more focused mind.

After the fishing was done, Maxwell had the warriors carry the catch back to the elders so it could be properly processed. The elderly carefully inspected each fish, knowing that even freshwater fish could carry parasites and should never be prepared carelessly.

Leaving the rest in their capable hands, Maxwell stayed behind by the river to wash up. He took a quick bath, unwilling to return to Addison smelling of fish. Once he was done, he joined the soldiers in their patrol around the camp’s perimeter.

Meanwhile, Levi returned to the tent to accompany Addison, who had just woken after nearly two hours of sleep. Though the nap had eased some of her fatigue, she still felt slightly drowsy. More troubling, however, was the growing discomfort within her, the gnawing hunger that refused to subside, lingering like an invisible weight in her chest and making her increasingly restless.

A wave of heat suddenly washed over her, making her feel as though she were coming down with a fever. The lingering drowsiness weighed heavily on her head, leaving her sluggish and uncomfortable.

When Levi entered the tent, his eyes immediately caught the unnatural flush on Addison’s face. A sense of unease rose in his chest, and he quickly walked over to check on her. The moment he closed the distance, he reached out and placed his hand against her forehead. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As soon as he felt her temperature, he hissed softly. "You’re burning up..."

Panic flickered in his eyes. He couldn’t help but think that she had overexerted herself, her body already drained from earlier, now forced to endure stress and exhaustion on top of it all. Worried that her immune system could no longer keep up, he instinctively moved to stand, intending to fetch cold water and some medicinal herbs from the doctor.

But before he could even rise, Addison suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward the bed.

Caught off guard by the abrupt motion, Levi lost his balance and fell forward. Alarmed that he might crush her or cause her pain, he quickly adjusted himself mid-fall, bracing his weight on both hands and carefully positioning his knees so they wouldn’t press against her.

His palms landed on either side of her head, effectively boxing her in, his elbows bent as he hovered over her. The distance between them became dangerously close, so close that their breaths intertwined.

He could feel the heat of her breath against his skin, warm and unsteady, sending a faint tingling sensation along his nerves and causing his back to stiffen involuntarily.

"Addie..." Levi’s voice came out hoarse as he gazed down at her.

Up close, he could clearly see the faint daze in her eyes, along with a restrained, intense desire that seemed ready to spill over at any moment. The sight alone made something deep in his abdomen stir, his body reacting before his mind could fully catch up.

Then he caught a trace of her scent in the air, warm, subtle, and strangely alluring, as if quietly beckoning him closer. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his gaze unconsciously drifting from her eyes down to her slightly parted lips.

They looked soft, warm... and far too close.

The temptation to close the distance surged within him, his breath hitching ever so slightly as he struggled to steady himself, caught between concern for her condition and the overwhelming awareness of just how near she was.

Levi’s mind spiraled, torn between the instinct to care for his mate and the darker urge to simply pin her down and devour her where she lay. Before he could steady himself, Addison’s arms slid around his neck, clinging to him like a serpent, refusing to let go. Her breathing grew uneven, warm and shaky against his skin as she pressed her cheek to his and rubbed against him in slow, needy motions.

"Cool... your skin feels cool..." she murmured, her voice soft and hazy as a small, contented moan slipped from her lips.

It only made things worse.

Like it wasn’t enough, her body shifted restlessly, her chest and hips brushing against him in unconscious, searching movements that sent a sharp tension through his entire frame. Levi stiffened, his control fraying with every second her body rubbed against him. Of course, his body reacted; he instinctively went hard immediately.

"Fuck..." he growled under his breath, the last thread of restraint snapping.

He dipped his head and crashed his lips against hers, rough and hungry, biting down just enough to test her reaction, to see if she would pull away. She didn’t. If anything, she melted into him.
