Chapter 57 Alpha Zion Starting To Suspect
After hearing his Alpha’s account, Gamma Levi couldn’t shake the growing suspicion gnawing at him. Too many things had happened in too short a span—far too many to chalk up as mere coincidence.
And in his experience, when there were this many ’coincidences,’ it usually meant a plan was in motion. Though he lacked concrete evidence, a troubling theory began to form in his mind: the princess might have wanted Addison out of the way, and she could have been working with Beta Greg—and possibly others—to make it happen.
But suspecting a royalty, let alone suggesting a conspiracy involving someone from the royal family against others and tarnishing their name, was a dangerous game. Even being accused of slandering the royal family could be considered treason, punishable by death. Levi knew he had to proceed with extreme caution—one misstep could cost him everything.
After all, Levi had been by Addison’s side the longest. He knew her well. Though she was physically weak, she was never clumsy. And as a woman herself, it was highly unlikely she would do something reckless out of jealousy to a pregnant woman.
Yet rumors had begun to spread—whispers incited by someone with an agenda—claiming Addison had pushed the princess down the stairs in a fit of envy, angry that her mate, the Alpha, treasured Claire more than he ever did her.
But Levi knew Addison better than that. She wasn’t petty. She wasn’t cruel. And above all, she wasn’t the type to harm someone just to ease her own pain.
If Zion truly no longer wanted Addison and had chosen Claire, Levi knew Addison well enough to believe she would’ve walked away with what little pride she had left. She would have quietly left the pack and started a new journey, far from its people, far from the pain.
But things didn’t turn out that way. Zion had shown clear interest in Addison, and from what Levi gathered, it even seemed they had crossed the final line and mated. Whispers among the omegas confirmed it—talks of how Zion had shut himself in his Alpha suite with Addison for three days and nights without stepping out.
Levi also recalled that soon after Claire arrived, the former Luna—Zion’s mother assigned several young omegas to serve Claire. Since then, those girls had grown close to her, and it wasn’t hard to imagine that one of them might’ve overheard the gossip about Zion and Addison.
