The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 What To Do

She had been so afraid of being treated like a monster, but Maxwell’s unwavering support made that fear feel almost foolish. Her throat tightened, her eyes stung, and she had to swallow hard to keep her emotions at bay.

"Actually, when we reached the Tigren camp during the negotiation, I felt something stir inside me. At first, I thought it was my wolf, Aurora, but she didn’t speak to me. Not until I shifted into my wolf form. But even then... something felt off. That wolf didn’t feel like Aurora. It wasn’t just the difference in color; it radiated an entirely different presence."

"Even though I don’t have clear memories of my bond with Aurora from the past, I just knew the wolf that emerged that day wasn’t her. And the most confusing part was... it didn’t respond to me. It responded to my rage. It felt like that fury cracked something open inside me, and from that crack, this unfamiliar wolf came through."

"I think that rage is what allowed it to break through to the cracks in the seal within me. But I used up what little strength it had, and now it’s dormant again and was recharging, maybe. And I know this might sound crazy, but I believe it fuels itself with vitality."

"Because... during that time, when I, um, attacked you all... or tried to seduce you, I felt this overwhelming hunger. I wasn’t fully conscious at first. I only started to regain control when Zion pulled me onto his lap. That gave me enough clarity to push it out of my mind. But even then, it had already awakened something in me, this insatiable hunger. All it wanted was to be fed."

"And I’m afraid... that if I don’t give it what it wants, it’ll try to take over again. And next time, it might take more than it should from you guys." Addison finally confessed, her voice low but filled with unease."

She glanced down nervously again, maybe without even realizing how anxious she’d been, or how scared she was of being judged by her mates. Even though she kept denying the pull of the mate bond, deep down, she feared being disliked or rejected by them. It was a quiet, vulnerable fear, one she hadn’t fully acknowledged.

Still, her struggle wasn’t unusual.

Among werewolves, the bond between fated mates often comes with an overwhelming intensity. But Addison hadn’t fully surrendered to that bond. Instead, she was resisting it, pushing against its natural course, which only made everything more confusing.

That inner conflict was stirring up emotions and instincts that might have otherwise flowed more smoothly had she allowed herself to accept the connection.

Now, hearing her explanation, Zion, Maxwell, and Levi found themselves both shocked and confused. Everything Addison described, an unfamiliar hunger, a powerful energy responding to emotion, the seductive behavior, sounded eerily similar to a succubus.

But at the same time, she wasn’t wrong. It was her body, and she understood its changes better than anyone else.

Still, one baffling question lingered: could a wolf truly trigger such intense physical responses in its counterpart... unless she was—

"Are you... possibly going into heat?" Zion asked again, his voice gentler this time, filled with cautious concern.

Addison shook her head. She knew the difference, and she could feel it. What happened the other night wasn’t the same as going into heat. And yet... it was close. Uncomfortably close.

If she hadn’t been paying attention to the subtle details, like the way her energy shifted, the strange hunger, the lack of that familiar ache that came with her heat cycles, she might have mistaken it for a sudden onset of heat.

"Maybe this has something to do with the curse the dark witches placed inside you," Maxwell said suddenly, his voice serious. "We still don’t know the exact nature of that curse; it could be interfering with your wolf somehow. That obsidian wolf might still be Aurora... but also not. A twisted version, maybe." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

No matter how powerful Aurora had been in the past, as others once described her, it still shouldn’t have been that easy to bring someone like Leon to his knees.
