The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Levi Making His Move

Addison didn’t respond with words; she simply nodded, her expression solemn and resolute. This was her first official mission, her chance to prove herself not just to her father, but to her people. She had faced difficult Alphas before, and back then, she had been weaker, less experienced. Now, she was stronger, wiser, and she believed she could strike an even better deal with the Chieftain of the Tigren.

"Alright, take them with you," the Alpha King said with a sigh of reluctant approval. If it were up to him, he would have led the negotiation himself. But his position in the Royal Palace bound him, and sending his daughter in his stead tore at his heart. His mate, gripping his hand tightly, looked anxiously at Addison. But Addison offered them a reassuring smile and a firm nod, which eased their worry, if only a little.

Zion needed only a second to make up his mind. Earlier, he had planned to check something behind the main palace, but whatever it was, it could wait. It wasn’t going anywhere. Letting Addison go alone was not an option. He stepped forward, volunteering without hesitation.

When Maxwell and Levi also offered to accompany her, Zion’s possessive instincts flared. But he swallowed them down. He understood that more protection for Addison was never a bad thing.

Shura, however, was not so composed. The wolf sulked in the corner, growling low in its throat, and muttering in frustration, "Mate. Mine."

Not long after, Elric opened another portal to the grasslands where the Tigren Tribe resided. There was no need for him to explain anything to Addison, she already knew the plan laid out by her father. More importantly, she understood that no matter how airtight their preparations seemed, the Chieftain’s unpredictable nature could easily unravel everything with a single unexpected demand.

So rather than waste time overanalyzing potential outcomes, they chose to face him directly and adapt on the spot. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Once the portal stabilized, Elric and the Royal Advisor stepped through first. Zion followed close behind, his expression grim, like a man heading into battle. Then came Maxwell, who paused just before entering. He turned back to Addison and offered her a reassuring smile. It helped more than he probably realized.

Next was Lance. Then, before Levi stepped in, he gently took Addison’s hand and asked, "Are you ready?"

His voice was calm and grounding, steady, just like in those years when they used to travel together from one territory to another, negotiating trade deals. The familiar tone stirred something warm in Addison’s chest, and she smiled at him, nostalgia softening her expression.

"I’m a little nervous," Addison admitted honestly, "but more than that, I’m actually looking forward to it."

Levi chuckled softly. Without warning, he slipped an arm around her waist, pulling her gently closer. He leaned in until his lips were just beside her ear.

"You’ve got this... mate," he murmured teasingly, the word mate slipping from his tongue like silk.

Then, he pressed a feather-light kiss to the shell of her ear.

The effect was immediate. Addison felt a flutter in her stomach, like butterfly wings brushing from the inside. A shiver ran down her spine, and heat rushed through her, catching her completely off guard. Her body’s reaction was so strong, she could feel her core tighten in response.

Levi caught her flustered expression and smiled wider, clearly amused and pleased.

"Hmm..." he inhaled slowly, his eyes sparkling with knowing mischief. "Looks like your body’s reacting to me. That’s good... At least I know, as much as I want you, you want me too... even if you won’t say it out loud."

This was a side of Levi she hadn’t quite seen before, confident, seductive, and more daring than usual. He’d always been kind and considerate, the perfect gentleman. But now, he was teasing her openly, pushing her boundaries just to see how she would react.

And it worked.

She was too embarrassed to look at him directly, her cheeks flushed with heat and desire, so instead, she turned toward the portal and stepped through, with Levi right at her side, still wearing that smug grin.

"What was that? Just a kiss on the ear, really?" the wolf sneered. "What are you, twelve? She’s our mate, give her a real kiss already."
