The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Addison’s Unconscious

Seeing the magical token draw his blood, Leon raised an eyebrow, silently acknowledging just how cautious Addison was being. Perhaps she still doubted his true intentions, questioning why he had so forcefully tethered himself to her.

Maybe she suspected he was working with someone trying to infiltrate her territory. Or worse, she feared that someone, upon discovering their accidental mate bond, might try to use him as a pawn to get to her.

In a way, Leon couldn’t blame her.

He figured the token must be linked to a master token in Addison’s possession, one that allowed her to track his movements and verify his identity at any time. If the token was stolen or misused, it would deactivate instantly. It was, in essence, a surveillance tool, meant to keep him under watch like a potential threat.

And yet... he couldn’t bring himself to resent it.

Despite its purpose, the token felt like a gift, Addison’s first and perhaps only, token of trust toward him. To Leon, it didn’t feel like a mark of suspicion, but something far more personal. It felt like a wife’s protective charm given to her husband. Bittersweet, yes—but sweet nonetheless.

Leon offered her a gentle smile, the kind that could melt even the hardest steel, anything, perhaps, except Addison’s heart.

As she glanced up at him, she saw his usually sharp, commanding features soften into something unexpectedly tender. For a brief moment, her heart did skip a beat.

But Addison wasn’t someone easily swayed by appearances or fleeting emotions. No matter how sincere or beautiful that smile was, it wasn’t enough to make her drop her guard or change her stance.

So instead of responding emotionally, she simply gave a small nod in return as he thanked her, while she looked all calm and composed.

Addison and the others emerged from the camp, and Elric opened another portal leading back to the Royal Grounds. From the edge of their camp, Leon and the rest of the Tigren tribe stood watching silently as the group disappeared into the night through the portal.

The moment they crossed over, a wave of dizziness washed over Addison. Her body went soft, like jelly, and she felt herself about to collapse. Levi, who had been walking closest to her, moved without hesitation. With the crate balanced securely on his right shoulder, he reached out with his left hand and caught her before she could fall.

He had been quietly observing her every movement since they exited the tent. From the moment she shifted into her wolf form earlier, Levi had sensed something was wrong.

Though he had been surprised, awestruck even, to see her shift for the first time, that feeling was quickly overtaken by concern. Something felt off, and that instinct had kept him close, ready to catch her the moment she staggered.

Fortunately, Levi had kept a close eye on her; if he hadn’t, Addison’s head might have hit the sharp corner when she collapsed. His heart pounded in panic as he immediately shoved the crate into the Royal Advisor’s arms without hesitation. The unexpected weight made the Royal Advisor stagger slightly, and though he was about to complain, he caught sight of Addison’s condition and held his tongue.

"Take the Princess to her chambers," the Royal Advisor ordered instead, his voice tight with concern.

Suddenly, Addison’s eyes snapped open, startling him for a brief moment, but his expression remained composed. Instead, he offered a small, reassuring smile. "You’re awake. Are you hungry? Or do you want to take a warm bath to help your body relax?" he asked gently, already beginning to rise so he could call for her attendant. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
