The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Accepting A Servant

What Addison didn’t realize was that the moment Mary first saw her, she was atop Zion’s massive wolf, leaping out of the forest like a battle goddess. Addison’s silver-white hair shimmered in the sunlight, her golden eyes gleaming with intensity, and a halo of light seemed to crown her head.

In that instant, all of Mary’s fears and worries melted away, and she felt utterly safe.

More than that, she truly believed Addison was a good person. Following someone like her wouldn’t be a bad choice; in fact, it might be the smartest one. After all, Addison was destined to become the future Alpha King, the one who would lead the entire werewolf kingdom toward a brighter future.

Serving her was inevitable sooner or later, so it was better to show her loyalty now. By taking her stance early, she could align herself with Addison’s camp ahead of time, and when Addison ultimately triumphed in the subtle struggle for the crown, she would be well-positioned to reap the rewards.

Yes, Mary was well aware of the subtle struggle for the crown involving Mila, Addison’s cousin, a matter that had been pushed to the forefront ever since Addison’s abduction. Although Addison had already returned, Mila’s position had been firmly established, and many with their own agendas had begun to rally behind her instead of supporting the rightful heir.

The Royal Capital would soon descend into frenzy because of it.

Things were bound to grow even more chaotic, and if Mila decided to push harder, Addison might truly find herself in a difficult position. That was why she needed as many allies as possible, preferably powerful ones, such as Alphas.

Now that the future Alpha of the North and Alpha Zion were revealed to be her mates, Mila’s supporters were surely growing uneasy. Their earlier decision to back Mila meant they had already chosen to stand against Addison, unwilling for her to ascend as the Alpha King for reasons of their own.

And if that was the case, it wouldn’t be long before the people backing Mila began to make their move. Yet even knowing this, Mary wasn’t the least bit worried. She felt certain that following Addison was the right decision. Considering her father’s personality, she knew he would support whatever choice she made.

More importantly, Mary had long observed how most people in power didn’t truly care about those beneath them. Among the werewolves, where strength determined worth, few ever mourned their fallen or bothered to protect their people; dying in battle was as natural as dying of old age.

But Addison was different. Mary could sense that she had been raised to be a fair and just monarch, one who could be ruthless toward her enemies and crush them if needed, yet still possess compassion and respect, much like her father.

Mila, on the other hand, was an unknown. Her personality was difficult to read, her behavior shifting easily like a chameleon blending with its surroundings. Mary couldn’t shake the feeling that if Mila ever triumphed over Addison, it would spell disaster for her and her pack.

Not only would they likely be executed for supporting Addison, but even if they hadn’t taken sides, their peaceful nature would never thrive under Mila’s rule. Her pack was not war-loving or bloodthirsty like many others; they sought harmony, and that alone would make them targets in a reign ruled by ruthlessness.

And from what Mary had heard through the grapevine, Mila’s true nature was quite different from the gentle image she portrayed. Though she often appeared to agree with the Alpha King and Queen’s ideals for the kingdom’s future, in reality, her beliefs didn’t align with theirs.

Mila saw them as too soft-hearted and idealistic, traits she believed made other species view werewolves as weak and easy to provoke.

Rumors said that this was the reason vampires and other races often tested their patience, seeing them as easy targets. And while these stories mostly came from Mila’s own supporters, Mary doubted that such ideas could spread without some truth behind them.

She was certain that Mila herself must have voiced such opinions at some point, subtly encouraging the notion that the current leadership was unfit to rule.

To those hungry for power, Mila’s words were a call to action, an invitation to replace the royal family with someone who would showcase the werewolves’ might to the world, ruling through dominance and fear rather than diplomacy and compassion.

After so much thought and reflection on everything she had experienced, Mary was certain that supporting Addison was the best choice for both herself and her pack. Besides, she genuinely liked Addison and her family.

Now, kneeling before Addison and waiting for her response, Mary couldn’t help but feel a wave of nervousness and uncertainty wash over her.

What if Addison refused to accept her as a servant?
