The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Healing

"Levi... I need you to get better. I don’t like seeing you like this..." Addison whispered again, her voice trembling. She had never seen Levi so hurt, so fragile, and the sight made her chest tighten painfully.

Only now did she realize that the strong, unyielding boulder who had always stood behind her, steadying her, protecting her, was now crumbling. The thought of him in pain, his life hanging by a thread, filled her with a deep, unfamiliar fear.

And in that moment, her own feelings became clear. She had always thought her emotions for Levi were complicated, that her fondness was merely comfort and habit. But now she saw the truth: of all three of her fated mates, Levi had quietly been her steadfast support.

He had never hurt her, never failed her; he knew her entirely, her likes, her dislikes, the small details of her day, and listened without impatience.

Compared to Zion, who stirred passion and tension, and Maxwell, who was still a blank canvas in their growing bond, Levi had been there all along, a constant, gentle, unwavering background who had always been there but never forced her to be with him.

And now, staring at him so weak and vulnerable, Addison finally understood: she liked Levi. She really, truly did.

Maybe her feelings for Levi weren’t as intense as the love-and-hate chaos she had with Zion, nor as thrilling and new as what she was beginning to feel with Maxwell. But her affection for Levi was something different, something quieter and deeper.

It was a gentle fondness that had always been there, steady and unmoving, sitting right at the border between friendship and something more. She had been so used to his presence, so used to relying on him, that she never noticed when that quiet fondness had grown roots, when it had deepened enough that she no longer saw him as just a friend.

Addison slowly stepped closer, her breath catching as she took in Levi’s face, drained of color, pale as parchment. Before she even realized it, her trembling hand lifted, gently cupping his cheek. She stood at the side of his bed, leaning close enough to feel the faint whisper of his breathing... but none of the familiar warmth she was used to.

He was cold. Far too cold.

Maybe it was the blood loss, maybe the strain on his body, but the chill of his skin hit her like a bucket of ice water, shocking her out of her daze.

"Levi... I don’t want to lose you. Please don’t die on me, okay?" Addison choked out, her thumb brushing his cheek as her voice cracked. A tear slipped down the corner of her eye, falling onto his skin.

"Please... open your eyes and look at me. Just once. Please..."

But no matter how much she spoke, no matter how much her voice begged and broke, Levi remained still, unmoving, unresponsive, and she felt her heart splintering inside her chest.

Just imagining Levi dying on her made Addison’s whole body go cold, the kind of cold that started from the soles of her feet and crawled all the way up her spine until her scalp tingled. Her chest tightened painfully, each breath turning shallow as if her heart was cracking open under the weight of it.

"Do you truly want to save him?"

The sudden voice cut through her pain. Addison froze, thinking she was imagining things. Her sobs stilled, but she didn’t move; she stayed rigid, like a frozen statue, her eyes fixed only on Levi’s pale face. She didn’t dare look around. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Yes..." she whispered, answering from the deepest part of her heart. "I want to save him. No matter what."

"Sigh..." The voice exhaled again, weary and almost disappointed. Before Addison could process what was happening, something pulled out of her, an unfamiliar sensation that made her breath hitch. It felt as though a piece of her had been detached, torn loose from deep within, leaving her cold and hollow.

Then she saw it, someone she knew.

"Sihda...?" Addison whispered, swaying as dizziness washed over her.
