The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Chapter 161 He Might Go Feral

The Queen followed his gaze.

They were both visibly struggling. Their bodies trembled slightly, their eyes glazed over with raw need. Sweat beaded on their brows, and their fists were clenched tight at their sides as if holding back the instinct to bolt and hunt their mate, barely clinging to their sanity.

Before the Queen could speak, the Royal Beta connected to the Alpha King’s mind.

"Your Majesty, the doctors have just completed the comprehensive scan on Alpha Zion and—"

But he didn’t get to finish.

The Alpha King’s expression darkened, his fury reigniting at the mere mention of Zion."Ha! Let him die for all I care!" he snapped, his voice laced with venom.

"No, Your Majesty... The doctors said he’s going into rut. And it’s bad, really bad. If he doesn’t mate soon, he might go feral..."

That one sentence was enough to make the Alpha King’s head nearly explode. His eyes snapped toward the other two immediately. He knew his Royal Beta wasn’t someone who exaggerate things. If he said it was bad, then it was truly bad.

He turned his gaze to Maxwell and Levi. They looked terrible, exhausted, disheveled, but not nearly as dire as the Beta’s report on Zion. That could only mean one thing: Zion was at the center of whatever anomaly was unfolding.

Then it hit him, his daughter’s strange behavior earlier, coupled with the attendant’s report that she was going into heat.

The Alpha King felt a splitting headache build behind his temples.

"Lock down the entire palace—now!" the Alpha King barked at his Royal Beta.

If Addison were truly going into heat, it would be a disaster if her scent spread to the unmated Alphas in the banquet hall. Zion and the other two mates were already a handful; he didn’t need a full-blown riot on his hands.

Then he remembered: Addison had returned to her wing of the palace. If anything spiraled out of control, her children could be caught in the chaos.

He turned to his mate, his expression tight with urgency. "Honey, why don’t you go to Addison and stay with the kids? I have a feeling it’s going to be a long night."

He didn’t need to say more. His mate already understood. Ever since Addison met her fated mates, nothing around them had followed the rules of normalcy. One thing after another, unpredictable and escalating.

Then, out of nowhere, his Beta let out a shriek in his mind that could rival a banshee.

"What happened?!" the Alpha King demanded, already sprinting down the corridor as Royal Guards scrambled to escort the guests back to the Guest Wing. The grand hall was in chaos, murmurs rising, confusion spreading like wildfire.

But the Royal Guards remained tight-lipped, repeating only one line: "This is an emergency. For your safety, please return to your quarters."

Even Maxwell and Levi were being quietly ushered away by two guards. The Alpha King, however, charged outside, only to see a terrifying sight.

Zion’s midnight-black wolf had broken through the outer perimeter, tearing through the guards like ragdolls. They were sent flying through the air, helpless against the frenzied Alpha. Zion wasn’t just rampaging; he was heading straight for Addison’s palace.

Without hesitation, the Alpha King shifted into his own massive wolf form and leapt to intercept him, releasing the full weight of his Alpha aura.

That was when the Alpha King knew ’this was worse than bad. His going feral.’

"Hmm..." Addison’s breathy, coquettish moan slipped past her lips, echoing softly against the tiled walls. The sound reached her attendant at the door, whose face instantly flushed a deep red. She stood frozen, stunned, not just by the Princess’s voice but by the heavy heat radiating out of the room, thick and stifling.

The scent of Addison’s heat was growing stronger, more potent, and nearly suffocating. The attendant’s breath caught when she heard Addison’s desperate voice next:

"This isn’t enough... I still can’t reach it..."

Outside the palace, the situation was spiraling into chaos. The Alpha King was locked in a brutal struggle with Zion, trying to pin down the frenzied Alpha, whose strength had surged to dangerous levels. Zion was feral, eyes glowing, aura wild, his wolf form snapping and thrashing with alarming power. His strength was monstrous, far more than usual, and it took everything the Alpha King had to hold him off.

Then came more trouble.

Maxwell and Levi, equally affected by their bond with Addison, joined the fray, battling everyone on their way to reach their mate. The Alpha King gritted his teeth, now forced to contend with not one, but three enraged, overstimulated Alpha males who were half-mad from their mating instincts.

Behind him, his Royal Beta was panting and gasping for breath, clearly exhausted from holding them off this long. Several guards stood with him, armor disheveled and expressions rattled.

The Alpha King swore inwardly, this night was far from over.

"Your Majesty, I think the only one who can stop them now... might be the Royal Alchemist," the Royal Beta mindlinked the Alpha King urgently.

The Royal Beta nearly doubled over, gasping like he might cough up his lungs. His breaths were ragged, he couldn’t seem to pull enough air in.

"What do you mean?" the Alpha King asked between breaths, his sharp gaze darting to his Beta, then back to the scene before him.
