The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583: Chapter 583 A Few Hours Ago...

They could use it against her, painting her as weak and incapable, a woman who could only stand tall because three powerful Alphas were standing in front of her.

And perhaps that had been the plan all along.

Maybe this attack wasn’t just meant to hurt the Tigren Clan.

Maybe they wanted to provoke Addison into one of two choices: either walk straight into a possible trap or stay behind while her mates went out to fight for her.

Either way, they could use it.

If she went, they might have the opportunity to target her directly.

But if she stayed...

Then everyone would see Addison, the woman expected to lead the kingdom, hiding behind the backs of her powerful mates like a turtle retreating into its shell.

And that image could be far more damaging than people realized.

Her enemies would make sure everyone saw it.

They would whisper that without her Alpha mates, Addison was nothing. That she couldn’t protect herself, couldn’t face danger, and certainly couldn’t lead a kingdom. Everything she had accomplished could be reduced to one cruel narrative, and that is she was only powerful because powerful men stood beside her.

Addison clenched her jaw.

She refused to give them that satisfaction.

"But, Addie, we don’t know what they’re after," Maxwell argued, his brows furrowing so deeply they looked as though they could crush a fly between them. The concern in his voice was impossible to hide. "They’re a bunch of lunatics. We have no idea what they’re planning, and if you walk straight into another trap..."

He trailed off, his jaw tightening. "You could get hurt."

"The more reason I need to go." Addison’s voice was firm, leaving no room for argument.

"We don’t know what they’re after or what exactly they’re planning. This one attack could mean a hundred different things, or it could mean something far simpler than we’re making it out to be. Either way, standing here and guessing won’t give us any answers. I need to see the situation with my own eyes."

Her gaze moved between her mates, unwavering despite the storm of emotions twisting inside her. "And I’m not the type to stand behind everyone and wait to be protected."

Before anyone could interrupt her, Addison continued.

"Remember who I am. I am the future ruler of this kingdom. That means I was born to be a warrior, to stand at the front and lead my people, not hide behind them while they fight in my place."

And before she had even finished speaking, Addison had already turned away.

She started walking, leaving the others behind. Within seconds, she was already a meter away from them, her pace steady and resolute.

Truthfully, she didn’t even know what she was supposed to feel anymore.

Her emotions were a complete mess, twisting and crashing into one another like a violent storm. Fear, anger, anxiety, confusion, and everything was there, fighting for control.

But whatever was happening between her and Zion, whatever truth she still had to reveal about her children, could wait.

The Tigren Clan could not.

This attack had happened on the very first day of their alliance.

And that alone made the situation far more serious than a simple ambush.

If word got out that the Tigren Clan had been attacked the moment they aligned themselves with the Werewolf Kingdom, the consequences would spread far beyond the battlefield. At best, they would become a laughingstock. At worst, the attack would become proof in the eyes of the other races that the Werewolf Kingdom was too weak to protect even its own allies.

And that was a reputation they could not afford.

Even with the Tigren Clan, a race known for its individual strength, standing beside them, their enemies had still managed to strike.

What kind of message would that send? That the Werewolf Kingdom was weak. That its future was uncertain. That even an alliance with them came with nothing but danger.

They were planning to open their borders and begin diplomatic discussions with neutral races. They wanted to build relationships, form alliances, and establish trade.

But why would anyone willingly tie themselves to a kingdom that couldn’t even guarantee the safety of those standing beside it?

The Tigren Clan had just become the perfect example of that danger.
