The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Holding The Grudge For Her

"Alright, Princess," Elric finally said, his voice steady though his expression was grave. "I know that once you’ve made up your mind, nothing I say will change it. So instead of wasting time trying to stop you, I’ll focus on making sure you succeed."

"But hear me out, if you’re going in, I’m coming with you. I need to be there to open and close the barrier at the right moment. If I stay outside, the timing won’t be guaranteed... and one mistake could doom us all. It’s safer if I go with you."

It seemed that no matter what Addison said, Elric would never be convinced to stay behind. Not only was he worried for her safety, but he also believed that accompanying her would give him a clearer understanding of her current situation.

By staying close, he could protect her with his barrier, boosting her defenses and survival chances inside. More than that, being with her would allow him to calculate precisely when to open and close the barrier, ensuring Addison’s safety without letting a single locust slip out.

Thinking through all the possibilities, Addison finally understood what Elric meant and nodded in agreement. But if Elric was coming along, he would need someone to carry him up.

Naturally, his gaze shifted toward Maxwell. Maxwell’s nostrils flared as he shot back stubbornly, "If you want me to carry you, then forget it, unless you’re fine being carried the same way I did in the forest. My back is reserved only for my mate."

It was rare to see Maxwell this unyielding, to the point that even Addison couldn’t talk him around it. Levi, on the other hand, pretended not to hear a thing, keeping his eyes elsewhere, until a mischievous glint sparked to life in them.

"Ehem..." Levi cleared his throat, his gaze sliding toward Zion before he continued, "Since Alpha Maxwell and I share the same opinion, why don’t we leave this to Alpha Zion? After all, thinking it through, bringing Archmage Elric really is the best course of action. Besides—" his lips curved into a sly smile, "—for your information, I’m coming too but on the same thought as Alpha Maxwell."

Just that look was enough to make Zion’s temple throb violently, as though a splitting headache was about to strike him.

"And what makes you think I’ll agree to this?" Zion snapped, his voice edged with exasperation. "You both know a werewolf’s back is reserved for their mate. Why in the world would I let anyone ride mine while I’m in wolf form?"

Levi let out an exaggerated snort. "Well, Alpha Zion, let’s be honest, among all of us, only you have ever allowed someone on your back before your mate. So naturally, I believe you have a much higher tolerance for bending that rule compared to me or Alpha Maxwell. If it were me, I don’t know... my wolf might just snap and go berserk."

The moment the words left his mouth, Levi’s wolf rolled its eyes inside his mind.

’Nice try, annoying someone, kid...’ it muttered, flopping down onto the ground and resting its massive head on its paws. Still, despite its aloof act, its tail betrayed it by wagging lazily, it was a proof that it was entertained by Levi’s mischief.

Perhaps this was Levi’s subtle way of standing up for Addison while teaching Zion a lesson. After all, regardless of his reasons, Zion had once let Claire ride on his back, and that fact couldn’t simply be erased.
