The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Red Devourers

Earlier, she had already felt cornered and on the verge of breaking down when she saw Levi, sensing his weakening breath. Through the mate bond, she could feel his life slowly slipping away, and now she realized how much Sihda had silently carried for her.

And because of this incident, she finally began to understand the true extent of the power she carried within her, especially now that Sihda, a light fairy, had formed a contract with her.

But at the same time, the weight of that realization settled heavily on her chest. This power wasn’t just a blessing; it was a beacon. If the forces seeking to harm her ever discovered it, trouble would come crashing down on her without mercy.

Worse, the danger wouldn’t fall on her alone. What happened to Levi made it painfully clear that anyone close to her could be targeted at any moment.

Seeing the worry clouding her expression, Levi, Maxwell, and Zion immediately understood the depth of her fears. But instead of scaring them, it only strengthened their resolve to grow stronger and stay by her side. In moments like this, their presence mattered more than ever.

Zion gently stroked her head, trying to comfort her. "Don’t worry, Addie. I’ll always be here to protect you. Don’t overthink, just focus on what you want to do and leave the rest to us..."

He said ’us’ with difficulty, possessiveness, and jealousy tightening his chest. Under normal circumstances, he would have wanted to protect her alone. But after what happened at the Golden Hue Pack, it was painfully clear, he couldn’t protect her by himself.

None of them could, not alone. The three of them needed to work together if they wanted to shield her and stand against the forces targeting her.

Only by standing united could they keep Addison safe and out of harm’s reach.

And realizing all this, Zion forced himself to be reasonable. He pushed aside the beastly instinct that urged him to dominate and claim Addison as his alone, choosing instead to focus on the bigger picture.

Maxwell, who understood the same truth, didn’t say anything; he simply nodded in silent agreement. Levi, meanwhile, had no such inner conflict. The only thing in his heart was a firm, unwavering resolve: he would never allow Addison’s life to fall into danger like it had today ever again.

"But if that bastard Greg and his people came here with a mission... do you think it’s connected to the locust swarm?" Zion suddenly asked. The thought struck him as he recalled the information he’d heard from Alpha Hue before leaving.

Those speculations weren’t even his originally; they mostly came from Maxwell, right before Maxwell entered the operating room to donate blood for Levi, he told this to Alpha Hue.

But the moment Zion asked that question, something seemed to spark in Maxwell’s mind. He hesitated for only a breath before speaking. "I was just reminded of something... I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. It’s just that I never found the right moment to mention it without making you panic or worry..." he said, his voice carrying a strange heaviness.

Because of that tone alone, Zion’s muscles tensed, and even Levi straightened, eyes sharpening as he focused on Maxwell. With both of them waiting, Maxwell had no choice but to continue.

"Do you remember the locust swarm we saw when we entered the barrier? I told you before that I had a suspicion about it, but at the time, I wasn’t sure. Their features... they were too familiar. And the reason I didn’t say anything back then was because what I suspected could cause more chaos than help. So I kept quiet until I was certain."

"They were Red Devourers, locusts that come from the cracks of the Demon Realm itself. A kind of pest that exists only there. And the fact that they’ve reached this far, all the way from the north... it means someone deliberately brought them here to multiply and throw the entire kingdom into chaos."
