Chapter 28 Found You
It irritated him. The mixture of these feelings left him in a constant state of internal conflict, unable to put things in order. While he tried to fix his composure and ensure Claire’s survival, he could do little else but leave Addison’s care in the hands of his Beta.
After all, Zion knew his Beta would never betray him. As Alpha, his wolves were sworn to him, and loyalty was something they owed him above all else.
But he never would have imagined that the one to betray him so deeply would be his most trusted Beta—the very person he considered a brother. To think that same man would try to kill Addison, his Luna, again and again...
If he had known the truth sooner, he would’ve been the first to wrap his hands around his Beta’s throat and tear him apart without hesitation.
After easing Zion’s concerns, Beta Greg refocused on tracking the escapee while simultaneously reaching out to Claire’s omega attendant through the mind link.
"Clean the dungeon cell where Addison was kept—just enough to hide the worst of it. Remove the whip marks, leave only a little blood to make it look like she was only mildly injured. I’m entrusting this task to you. Fail me, and you’d best prepare to lose your head by morning."
Greg’s mental snarl echoed as he shot into the forest, his boots tearing into the dirt with every leap. He was racing to catch up to Gamma Levi. Since Levi was carrying Addison while dodging patrols, Greg was convinced they couldn’t have gotten far.

"Tch. He used a masking spray..." Greg muttered under his breath. It was a smart move—and an annoying one.
But Gamma Levi overlooked one crucial detail—while he masked their scent, he still left behind faint footprints, especially while carrying extra weight. It was a clear giveaway.
Beta Greg’s lips curled into a sinister smirk as he sprinted through the forest, eyes locked on the subtle trail.
