The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Addison’s Decision 2

Zion, who had been sitting beside Maxwell, shifted forward and kneeled before Addison. Resting a gentle hand on her knee, he spoke in a low, earnest voice.

"Addie, I know I’ve done many foolish things in the past... but I finally understand where I went wrong, and I want to make amends. Please, allow me that chance. I’ll follow whatever arrangements you decide, and I’ll wait, no matter how long it takes, for you to open your heart to me again."

"I know I caused you so much pain and left scars with my actions and harsh words, born out of incompetence and misplaced anger when you had done nothing to deserve it."

"It’s taken me years of reflection to even begin to grasp what you must have felt during those times I treated you with such cold indifference. I know I’m not worthy of you yet... but I beg you to give me the opportunity to prove myself."

When his eyes lifted to meet hers, Addison saw a gaze heavy with sincerity, longing, and heartache, not for himself, but for her. The weight of his words stunned her into silence.

And her heart trembled.

Maybe it had taken years for her to finally hear the apology she deserved, but now that it came, when she heard it, it shook her to her core. It felt as though her former self, the one who had endured everything he was apologizing for, was trembling too, overwhelmed by a storm of pain, anger, heartache, and countless feelings she couldn’t even name.

For the three long years she spent in the Midnight River Pack, working herself to the bone, she had longed for this moment, for Zion to stand before her, admit his wrongs, and give her a chance so they could start anew.

Every night she dreamed of it, only to wake up to the cold reality of his indifference, the cruel stab of betrayal, and the deeper twist of the blade when he brought Claire back to their pack as if Addison didn’t matter.

And yet, here he was now, apologizing. His words made her relive every wound, but at the same time, she felt something inside her beginning to mend. It was as if the dagger long lodged in her heart was slowly being pulled out. Still, the scar would remain. The damage had been done, and though she could accept his apology, forgetting was another matter entirely.

A part of her wanted him to suffer as she had, to know what it felt like to be treated with such cruelty. But as that thought crossed her mind, another quickly followed: if she truly repaid him with the same indifference and pain, wouldn’t that only make her no different from him?

Addison sank into deep contemplation. She had already made her point, Zion had felt the sting of indifference from the moment they reunited until now, and he knew she couldn’t easily forgive him.

But dragging it out longer, forcing him to humble himself and grovel before her again and again, would only make her appear petty. That wasn’t the kind of person she wanted to be.

Perhaps giving him a chance to atone would be wiser. It would allow him the opportunity to prove himself and, more importantly, give all of them the chance to start anew. After all, she already carried twins that were his, though Zion remained unaware.

She couldn’t hide the truth forever. The children were still young, and they deserved to know their father. So this chance she considered offering Zion wasn’t just about reconciliation between them; it was also about giving him the opportunity to be a father to his children.
