The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Debunking Accusations

"But Addison? She’s just a wolfless omega. How could she be heir apparent when she couldn’t even stop her own pack from bullying her as Luna of the Midnight River Pack?"

Her words were not just defiance; they were a threat. Claire was warning the Alpha King that if he dared harm her, she would spread the truth: Addison was nothing but a wolfless mutt. And once that truth spread, Addison’s claim to the throne would crumble, for a kingdom built on strength could never accept a wolfless woman as its ruler.

"Sweetheart, what do you mean by wolfless? And... Luna?" Dimitri asked, his face a mixture of disbelief and confusion.

Claire’s lips trembled, but she pressed on, voice quivering. "Father... did you truly not know? Addison was Luna of the Midnight River Pack for three years. And yet, in all that time, she never once shifted into her wolf form. Every time she was injured, she had to go to the clinic for bandages; her wolf couldn’t even heal her. That can only mean... she doesn’t have a wolf anymore."

As she spoke, she dared to flick a glance at the Alpha King, and instantly regretted it. His storm-dark expression made her blood run cold. Just one look was enough to crush the air from her lungs, as if his very gaze promised: ’Say one more word, and I’ll cut off your head with my own hands, right here, right now.’

Fear seized her whole body, her knees nearly buckling under the invisible weight of his fury.

Claire bit her lip hard, refusing to speak further. She had already said what needed to be said, and now silence was her only shield. Still, her words had already lit a fire—one that burned hot in the Alpha King’s eyes.

Before he could unleash his wrath, Dimitri stepped forward, his voice trembling with desperation as the questions clawed their way out of him. "Brother... what is going on? Is what my daughter said true?"

The Alpha King ignored his brother’s question, his gaze locking on Claire with the cold, lethal eyes of a predator. To him, she was already as good as dead. "Are you threatening me? The Alpha King of this kingdom?"

His voice was low, edged with danger. "Do you think you can spread rumors and escape unscathed? Try it. Speak a single word, and I will hunt you to the ends of the earth myself. Even if you are my brother’s child, you are nothing to me."

His glare was so vicious, so merciless, that Claire felt her knees buckle. The crushing weight of his aura pressed down on her until she nearly fainted from sheer terror.

The Alpha King’s words were more than enough to confirm Dimitri’s suspicion. Dimitri shot his brother a cold look, but the Alpha King showed no intention of admitting anything outright.

His earlier declaration had been both a promise and a warning, the natural response of someone of his rank. To be threatened by a lesser werewolf was nothing short of insulting, and he could easily justify his words as a reaction to that disgrace.

Yet when he caught Dimitri’s gaze, eyes that already seemed to hold the answer, the Alpha King’s expression hardened.

"I despise being threatened," he growled. "If you believe you can manipulate me with false accusations, then be prepared to die by my hand. My daughter, who has always been outstanding, was simply too kindhearted to act against you. I have already shown leniency, yet you dare to demand more? Then perhaps I should reinstate the original sentence—public execution!"
