The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Want To Try Again?

When the nurses discovered this, Zion was led immediately to the operating room. Maxwell had already given about 1,300 cc of blood to Levi, and with Levi’s body deteriorating and the continuous bleeding, if Zion hadn’t arrived in time, both could have fallen into life-threatening danger.

As the doctors continued the surgery, a nurse introduced Zion as a new blood donor. With renewed hope, the medical team intensified their efforts to save Levi. Maxwell was given time to rest, but he was already looking pale from blood loss, while Zion donated over 1,200 cc of his own blood. Thanks to his timely help, Levi was stabilized and his wounds were stitched up in time.

After the surgery, Maxwell and Levi were sent to separate recovery rooms. Zion, exhausted and pale from the ordeal, stumbled out and headed straight to Addison’s room to watch over her until she woke up.

The surgery took a long time. Reconnecting the severed veins was no easy task for the doctors, especially with their limited practical experience and the added pressure of Levi’s deteriorating condition.

Tension filled the room. Fortunately, Zion arrived in time to provide additional blood, easing some of the doctors’ stress.

But because the operation dragged on for so long, Zion had to remain there until about thirty minutes before Addison finally woke up. And that alone proved something: even though Zion, Maxwell, and Levi hadn’t marked her yet, their mate bond was already strong enough for her body to react to their pain and life-threatening danger.

The moment Levi and Maxwell were out of danger, Addison’s condition improved as if in response, and she woke up shortly after.

It confirmed Zion’s suspicions... but it also worried him even more.

But what a coincidence, almost too much of one, that all three of Addison’s mates shared the same blood type. Zion couldn’t tell whether it was a blessing or fate playing tricks on them. Their blood type was rare, yet somehow all three of them had it.

He didn’t know if this was the very reason they were destined to be Addison’s fated mates, or if it truly was nothing more than chance. But because of it, Levi survived. And if he hadn’t... Zion didn’t even want to imagine what would’ve happened to them, or to Addison.

And in the future, they needed to be extremely careful not to let a situation like this repeat itself. If only one of them were injured, it was manageable; the remaining two could still donate blood. But what if all three of them were severely hurt at the same time? What then? Just imagining it made Zion’s head throb.

"How are you feeling?" Zion repeated, since Addison still hadn’t answered his earlier question.

"Hm... I’m starting to feel better," Addison murmured. "I just feel a little groggy and disoriented, but I can tell my condition is improving..."

She lay weakly against Zion’s arm, as if simply being close to him was enough to recharge her strength.

"Good... good..." Zion murmured under his breath as he buried his head in the crook of Addison’s neck.

The gesture made Addison blush, and a faint wave of insecurity crept in. Her skin still felt clammy from earlier, a light stickiness lingering from the sweat she hadn’t had the strength to clean away.

With Zion’s nose pressed against her neck, she couldn’t help worrying he would notice it and think it was unpleasant.

"Don’t... don’t get too close..." Addison squirmed, but the more she tried to pull away, the tighter Zion’s arms locked around her. He was still trembling from everything that had just happened, too shaken to let even an inch of space form between them.

In his mind, if he loosened his hold for even a second, something might happen to her... or worse, she might slip away from him.

To stop her from moving, Zion lowered his head and bit down gently on her neck. Unfortunately for Addison, his teeth landed right on the soft spot where his mark should be. She froze instantly. Just a little more pressure, just one accidental pierce of his fangs, and he would mark her for real.

Terrified of triggering that by mistake, Addison went completely still, barely daring to breathe.

Zion felt her body go rigid, and in that instant, he realized what he’d done. He had only meant to tease her with a gentle nip, but his teeth had landed exactly on that soft spot, the spot where his mark should be, and it dragged both of them straight back into the past.
