The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Spellbound

And the longer Zion and Maxwell stood inside the room, the more they felt it too.

The air clung to their skin like humidity laced with something else, something heavier. It wasn’t just the scent of arousal. There was a pull in the room, a subtle haze that wrapped around their thoughts, nudging their desires to the surface and clouding their judgment.

Neither of them felt the urge to lash out at Levi. That wasn’t it.

Instead, a gnawing unease was building inside them. A sense that something was wrong, deeply wrong. But they couldn’t see it, couldn’t name it. And the more time passed, the harder it was to hold onto clarity.

Zion stepped forward, pulling Addison into his arms. He knew, deep down, that she hadn’t forgiven him, not completely. No matter how much her body ached for the bond they shared, whether it was the mate bond’s pull clouding her thoughts or a momentary lapse in judgment, there was always a risk she’d snap back to reality the moment she realized it was him she was touching.

So, he didn’t give her the chance.

With a possessive, dominating kiss, Zion crushed his lips to hers, overwhelming her senses with his scent and his touch. He kissed her like a man starving, like this was his only chance.

His arms anchored her tightly against him, as if he feared she might vanish at any second. He devoured her taste, his lips demanding, desperate, filled with the raw hunger of a mate longing for forgiveness and closeness.

Behind them, Maxwell let out a deep, angry growl but held back. His body was rigid with restraint as he glanced at Levi, who was already moving to pull Addison away. Maxwell caught his arm, stopping him, jaw clenched tight.

He turned his eyes away from the scene, refusing to watch, but he couldn’t block out the effect it had on him. His core burned, pulsing with heat and frustration, and his cock throbbed painfully beneath his pants. A low groan escaped him as he gritted his teeth, doing everything he could not to lose control.

Although neither of them fully understood what was happening, one thing was clear: Addison wasn’t entirely present. Her body was there, but her mind seemed distant, lost somewhere else.

Surprisingly, ever since this strange shift began, Maxwell and Zion had been working together with an unspoken synergy that caught even them off guard. They moved in sync, reacting without needing words, as if some invisible thread connected their thoughts.

When Zion acted, Maxwell instinctively understood what he was trying to do.

There was something wrong, something off about Addison, but they couldn’t put their finger on it. And since pinning Levi down and demanding answers was pointless, and it was obvious the guy had no clue, the only one left to draw information from was Addison herself. But how could they get answers from someone who wasn’t fully aware?

They didn’t need to ask her directly. What they wanted was to see her reaction. Would she push Zion away once she came to her senses? After all, it was no secret between the three of them now that Addison’s history with Zion was a mess of love and hate.

She hadn’t forgiven him. She barely even tolerated his presence, let alone his touch. Most of the time, she did everything she could to avoid him.

That was why, even as Maxwell’s blood boiled with possessive anger, so much so that he couldn’t even bring himself to look at the two of them as they kissed passionately just a few steps away from him, he still kept his attention sharp. He watched from the corner of his eye, studying Zion’s every move, restraining Levi beside him, not allowing him to interfere.

Because whatever happened next... it might reveal more than words ever could.

Fury surged through him like wildfire. The thought of tasting another man on her lips made his jaw tighten and his muscles coil with rage. Zion’s entire body tensed, a dangerous growl vibrating deep in his chest, his possessiveness twisting into something primal, something vengeful. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
