Chapter 68 Back At Square One
As soon as Levi sent the assistant back with the old doctor, he overheard the healer and the doctor begin questioning the assistant about what had happened. With Levi’s permission to speak openly, the assistant recounted everything honestly. His detailed explanation made both the old doctor and the healer exchange a grave look—they realized the situation was even more serious than they had initially thought.
The fact that Levi had already interrogated the assistant signaled that he was aware of far more than he was letting on. It became clear to them that they didn’t need to investigate further or poke around for information. All they had to do now was stay in their lane and avoid getting involved—any interference on their part could make matters worse.
After that, Levi headed straight to Zion’s office, where the Alpha was already waiting. Zion sat behind his mahogany desk, elbows resting on the surface, fingers interlaced, and his chin propped against the back of his hands. He looked serious, deep in thought—but beneath that calm demeanor, there was a visible trace of worry.
Levi gave a sharp knock on the door to announce his arrival."Alpha, I’ve arrived," he said.
Zion glanced up and nodded, prompting Levi to quietly close the door behind him. As Levi made his way toward the couch, Zion stood from his seat and followed, pouring himself a glass of water before sitting down.
"How did the investigation go? Did you find anything?" Zion asked, his tone seemingly casual. But the tension in his shoulders told Levi otherwise—he was clearly more anxious than he let on.
Levi watched Zion closely before finally breaking the silence."Alpha Zion, what will you do... if Luna Addison was framed?"
The question hit Zion like a punch to the gut. His breath caught in his throat. What would he do if Addison had been wrongly accused?
The truth was—he had already suspected it. That was why he sent Levi to investigate in the first place. But hearing the possibility spoken aloud made the guilt twist even deeper in his chest.
