The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584: Chapter 584 Being Watched

They were not merely grumbling about the length of the journey. They had noticed the same thing she had: that they were getting farther from the Royal Capital.

The Priestess’s eyes narrowed beneath her veil.

This was the opportunity she needed.

If she openly voiced her suspicions, the werewolves leading them might notice. But she could quietly alert the male Tigrens through their mindlink without causing a scene.

"Let’s rest for a bit," she said through the mindlink connecting her to the warriors.

Her voice remained calm, but the meaning behind her words was anything but.

She couldn’t tell whether she was simply being overly cautious or if there was truly something worth suspecting.

As the Royal Guard Captain had instructed them, after he, their Chieftain, and the Royal Archmage departed, a small group of warriors wearing the same Royal Guard uniforms had come to escort them. They had even presented their badges as proof of their identities.

The Priestess had not accepted them blindly.

She had personally inspected the badges with mana detection before allowing her people to follow them. Authentic badges issued by the Royal Court were embedded with magical seals created by court mages specifically for verification, making it difficult for anyone to forge a convincing copy.

The magical signatures served as a reliable means of authentication, and she had made certain to check them herself.

The seals had appeared genuine.

So, naturally, none of the Tigrens had suspected anything.

They might be considered simple-minded by the other races, but they weren’t ignorant. They understood enough about the world to know that appearances could be deceiving and that important people carried methods of identification for precisely this reason.

Yet now, as the unfamiliar forest stretched endlessly around them, the Priestess couldn’t help but question her earlier judgment.

Had she missed something?

Had there been a flaw in her inspection?

Or worse... Had someone managed to fool even her mana detection?

Her grip tightened around her staff.

She didn’t like that possibility at all.

Soon, the male Tigrens began slowing their pace, preparing to stop and rest as their Priestess had suggested.

The change did not go unnoticed.

The werewolves leading the entourage immediately noticed the Tigrens’ sudden decrease in speed, and one of the warriors positioned at the rear, closest to the Tigrens, didn’t even need to be told by their leader to check. He turned and approached them instead, clearly intent on finding out why they had slowed down.

The Priestess noticed immediately that the werewolves were watching them closely, their very movement and every change in pace.

Her eyes narrowed beneath her veil as she tightened her grip on the thick fur of the Tigren warrior carrying her. For reasons she couldn’t explain, a growing sense of unease had begun crawling beneath her skin. It felt as though something was about to happen.

She just didn’t know what.

That uncertainty made her even more cautious.

Her posture stiffened, her senses sharpening as she quietly prepared herself for whatever might come next.

"What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly stopping?"

The moment the werewolf guard reached the Tigrens, who had come to a complete stop, he shifted back into his human form and questioned them. His tone was casual enough, but the fact that he had immediately come over the moment they slowed down did not escape the Priestess’s notice.
