The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562: Chapter 562 Welcome Banquet 4

Reluctantly, he forced himself to hold back. Even so, his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, instinctively reaching toward her wet panties as if drawn by an irresistible force.

Hearing his words, Addison immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"You beast!" she protested, attempting to growl at him.

Unfortunately, the effect was ruined by the breathless tremor in her voice. What was meant to sound threatening came out more like a flustered whimper, lacking any real conviction.

To Zion’s ears, it only made her sound even more adorable.

"You’re absolutely drenched," Zion growled in a low, husky voice, forcing himself to keep his tone restrained the moment his hand met that unmistakably wet and warm sensation. The discovery sent a spark through him, and it took every ounce of his self-control to keep his composure.

"I..." Addison began, but the words caught in her throat. She had no idea how to respond. If she claimed she didn’t like it, she would only sound insincere, her own body had already betrayed her.

"Ahem."

Sensing the steadily rising tension between Zion and Addison, the Alpha King deliberately cleared his throat, reminding both his daughter and her fated mate not to let things go any further.

Although the two believed they were being "discreet", the Alpha King had once been a young wolf himself. He knew exactly what Zion was trying to do, openly flirting with his daughter right at the dining table. He wasn’t blind, nor was he oblivious to the subtle exchanges between them. His mate had noticed it long before he did and was already hiding an amused smile behind her handkerchief.

As endearing as it was, the sight reminded them of their own younger days when they had been just as inseparable and shamelessly affectionate. Still, there was a time and place for everything, and the dining table certainly wasn’t one of them.

Besides, being force-fed such blatant displays of affection was rather unbearable.

The thought made the Alpha King pause.

’...Was I really that outrageous when I was courting my mate?’

The more he thought about it, the more he realized the answer was probably yes.

No wonder the older generation had always looked at them with the same mixture of exasperation and amusement.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere around the dining table had also grown increasingly tense. The Alpha King could feel the subtle undercurrents flowing beneath everyone’s composed expressions, making him even more determined to keep Addison and her fated mates on guard. It was especially important after seeing the unmistakable surprise on Addison’s face when she noticed Claire seated at the table.

The Alpha King’s deliberate cough successfully broke the spell.

Addison blinked before finally snapping back to reality. She bit her lower lip, trying to steady her racing heartbeat, then leaned closer to Zion and whispered, "Behave... don’t cause any trouble."

She took a slow breath, willing herself to calm down.

Zion chuckled softly, the corners of his lips curling into a cheeky grin.

"Then... can I continue later?" he asked in a voice only she could hear.

The Alpha King’s interruption had also brought him back to his senses, though not without consequence, because right now, his cock inside his pants was throbbing painfully, and he needed to take care of it, or he would suffer from blue balls. He silently suppressed a frustrated sigh, forcing himself to compose his expression.

Now was neither the time nor the place to indulge his desires, no matter how difficult it was to ignore them.

They returned to their meal as though nothing had happened, but neither Maxwell nor Levi had missed Zion’s subtle gesture.
