Chapter 26 The Only One Beta Greg Feared Most
With a smug bounce in his step, he descended into the dungeon—only to freeze in place the moment he caught sight of the open cell gate from a distance. His heart skipped a beat. At first, he assumed the guards had simply forgotten to close it in their panic while rushing the healer to the pack hospital. After all, Addison was bound in silver and far too weak to move, let alone escape.
But then—Gamma Levi’s face flashed in his mind.
Greg’s eyes narrowed, and his casual pace turned into a sprint. He stormed into the cell, only to be greeted by the sight of broken silver chains and fresh blood staining the floor. He crouched down, dipped his fingers into the blood, and brought them to his nose.
The scent confirmed his worst suspicion.
He snarled—and then let out a furious roar that echoed through the entire pack via the mindlink: "The prisoner has escaped! Find her—NOW!"
He had rushed out of the dungeon, determined to trace Gamma Levi’s path. Since Levi had been carrying Addison, his steps would surely leave imprints in the dirt, making it easier to track. Beta Greg followed the trail diligently—until a familiar voice echoed through their mindlink.
"Greg, how is Addison?"It was his Alpha.
At that moment, Greg’s heart skipped a beat, and he froze in his tracks.
Zion, who had closed his mindlink to everyone, remained unaware of what was happening. He was still pacing anxiously outside Claire’s room, his thoughts consumed by her condition. The royal convoy was on its way, and anyone watching him would think his worry was natural. After all, Claire was carrying his child and was his future Luna.
’But they were wrong.’
Zion’s true concern was Addison.
