The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Planning

"I’m not talking about the gypsies," Addison said quietly, her eyes locking with her father’s, laden with meaning. What she really meant was clear: this could all be connected to the ones who had tried to abduct her, the rogue attacks on the Midnight River Pack, and now the sudden locust swarm. It felt less like a coincidence and more like a pattern.

They had suspected it before, talked in circles about whether these events were random or part of a larger scheme. But with the new intel brought by Alpha Zion, suspicion was quickly turning into certainty.

If their enemies truly were orchestrating all of this, then they were under attack from every direction. Or worse, maybe it was a grand diversion. A way to pull their attention outward, toward the chaos on their borders, just to leave the Royal Capital exposed.

And if that were the case... was the throne their true target all along? Was that why they tried to take her?

"Then, we’ll play it by ear... I need you to take charge of the operation in the west," the Alpha King said, dropping the news like a bombshell.

Addison froze. She hadn’t expected that. It was a massive responsibility, and she’d only just returned to active duty this morning. She had assumed a senior Domain Management officer would be appointed to lead such a critical mission.

There was too much at stake: food security, political stability, and the lives of countless citizens. But now, it was clear, her father hadn’t called her in just to seek her opinion. He had brought her here to hand her this opportunity.

Or rather, this test.

It was a double-edged sword. If she succeeded, it would silence doubters, elevate her standing, and sweep away the whispers about Mila being the favored heir. But if she failed, even once, she wouldn’t just be criticized. She’d be condemned.

Still, Addison understood what her father was trying to do. He was giving her a chance to gain real power, power that could only come from respect, influence, and a track record of success. If she earned that now, then when her curse was eventually revealed, she might be spared the scorn and rejection. She might still be accepted... maybe even protected.

But if she failed? And the truth came out?

The court would devour her alive. _{free\we,bnovel.c o(m)}

This was a world where only the strong survived, and Addison knew that if she wanted to rule it, she had to prove herself, starting now.

Addison felt a surge of determination, but it was laced with nerves. This wasn’t a small matter. Part of her suspected that the reason her father was entrusting her with this mission wasn’t just to give her a chance to prove herself, but because they were severely short on manpower. In a crisis like this, every capable hand had to be used, whether ready or not.

Still, the opportunity was hers now. And though she wasn’t entirely sure of her chances, she knew she couldn’t afford to back down. All she could do was give it everything she had.

She straightened her back and nodded firmly. "Alright, Father. I’ll go. When do I leave?"

Her eyes burned with resolve, and the Alpha King gave a slow nod of approval, satisfaction glinting in his gaze. Her bravery hadn’t gone unnoticed. He knew this task could either elevate her or destroy her, and giving it to her without a guaranteed outcome almost looked like tossing her into a pit, where wolves and vultures waited to pounce at the first sign of weakness.
