Chapter 8 Do You Have The Right To Decide?
His careless words struck like a whip, igniting a fury Addison hadn't even realized she was holding back. She had convinced herself she had let go of the disrespect, the disdain, the suffocating weight of every slight and insult, but maybe she hadn't. Maybe she had only buried it deep, pressing it down until now.
Like a long-dormant volcano, she erupted, the burning rage in her chest finally breaking free.
The pain and anger mixed together made her whole body tremble; she could understand if her mate was looking down on her because she was weak and her wolf was unresponsive, but to question her quality as a Luna and not knowing what she was doing? That is something she couldn't accept.
She knew she had done everything she could, yet someone had the audacity to question her as if all her efforts for the pack were meaningless compared to what Claire had done.
Fueled by rage, Addison—who had always kept her emotions in check—finally snapped. For the first time since joining the pack, she let her anger explode.
"Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!"
Her chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. Her eyes burned red with pure, unfiltered anger. No one had ever seen Addison lose control like this—never heard her raise her voice, never witnessed her temper flare. The entire hall fell into stunned silence, every pair of eyes wide with shock.
"What did you just say?!"
Alpha Zion's fury ignited like a wildfire, his anger erupting in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Addison, his hand clamping around her throat as he slammed her against the wall.
