The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Focus On Me

He knew that if he confirmed her fears and admitted that he also suspected one of her other mates was in danger, Addison would take off without hesitation. That was exactly what he wanted to avoid.

Although he had told her about seeing Greg and overhearing parts of his schemes, he had deliberately withheld the full truth, specifically Greg’s plan to target the Golden Hue Pack and the night attack.

He knew Addison’s hatred for Greg ran just as deep as his own, as well as Levi’s and Maxwell’s. If she had known Greg would be making a move, she would never have agreed to leave with the first batch of evacuees. She would have stayed behind to lay an ambush for him herself.

Zion pursed his lips as he looked at Addison. He didn’t want to confirm her suspicion because he wasn’t sure what she might do afterward. He knew all too well how far a mate’s protectiveness could go, after all, he was the same when it came to Addison.

So, he could only assume that if she found out either Levi or Maxwell was in danger, she would rush off to save them, potentially falling into a trap. Without needing to speak to Maxwell or Levi, Zion knew they wouldn’t want her to come either, as he trusted their ability to handle the situation on their own.

All he could do now was stall Addison until her pain subsided. And if their suspicions were correct, if one of her other mates truly was in danger, then once the pain faded and nothing happened to her, it would mean the other two had already managed to resolve the situation safely.

Zion firmly believed that with Levi’s overprotectiveness toward Addison and Maxwell’s composed yet determined nature, the two would do everything in their power to protect themselves.

They both knew that if anything happened to them, it wouldn’t just affect Addison through the mate bond, it could endanger her life as well. So, even though Addison was writhing in pain, Zion couldn’t let her rush to where the other two were. He had to distract her and place his trust in Levi and Maxwell.

Though every part of him wanted to run after them, to confirm his suspicions and prevent any harm that could bring Addison more pain, his priority was clear. He needed to protect her from danger, especially from people like Greg, and only allow her to go to them once the situation had settled down. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Besides, right now, too many things were happening inside Addison’s body that no one could fully explain. Her wolf wouldn’t come out just because she willed it, it was still sealed deep within her.

So who could say what would happen if she faced Greg, that malicious bastard with a cunning, scheming mind? If he tried to harm her while her wolf remained dormant, and they were forced into a fight... Zion didn’t even want to imagine the worst that could happen.

"Addie, baby..." Zion murmured softly as he leaned down to capture Addison’s lips again, trying to divert her thoughts and ease her growing suspicion.

"The pain will fade soon. Just focus on me, yeah?" he whispered against her mouth. His left hand began to wander, tracing possessive paths until it cupped her right breast, giving it a firm squeeze and a teasing pinch that made Addison gasp sharply.

"Ah! Zion..." Addison gasped, biting her lower lip as a shiver ran through her. Heat pooled low in her core, her body responding instinctively to Zion’s touch, craving the closeness he offered, anything to push the pain away from her body and mind.

Yet, despite the ache of desire building inside her, part of her still worried about the other two.

Sensing her hesitation, Zion deepened the kiss, pouring both comfort and need into it. His hand continued to explore, sliding beneath her clothes until his fingers found her bare skin. When he reached her nipple, he gave it a teasing pinch that made Addison gasp again, the sensation a mix of pain and pleasure that sent waves of heat coursing through her.

Only then did she realize how much more sensitive she had become, the sharp pain she’d felt earlier slowly melting into a deep, consuming arousal.

Zion’s restless hand moved to the back of Addison’s head, his fingers tangling in her hair as he held her close, refusing to let her pull away. He deepened the kiss, swallowing her muffled moans, which was a tangled mix of pain and pleasure that made his control waver.

"Stop thinking about everything else," he murmured against her lips, his voice low and rough. "Focus on me... I’ll make you forget everything soon."
