Chapter 102 Preparations
"Alpha Zion," Levi said boldly, "if the Alpha King really intends to hold Luna Addison responsible for what happened to Princess Claire three years ago... and sends a hunter after her, then maybe we can use that to our advantage."
Zion looked at him, startled, as Levi continued, "We could track the hunter—follow him from a distance. When he finds her, we use that moment to step in and get to her first. We take her away and protect her before he can make a move."
After all, they say no one can find someone faster than a Hunter. If they were going to find Addison, this might be their only chance.
Zion shook his head. Using a hunter could only be their last resort—no matter what, it was too dangerous. Hunters were ruthless; they knew exactly how to exploit their target’s weaknesses.
They couldn’t risk Addison’s life like that. What if the hunter was the type who always killed their target, especially when the Alpha King hadn’t specified whether he wanted her alive or dead? That uncertainty made the idea too risky.
As Zion’s expression grew darker, Levi realized the same thing. He immediately dismissed the thought from his mind. No matter how desperate he was to find Addison, he couldn’t afford to endanger her. So, he forced himself to stay still and think.
"Let’s think this through more seriously. For now, we should prepare to head to the Royal Capital. It seems we can’t afford to reject this invitation," Zion said as he stood by the window, leaning his whole body to the side with his arms crossed. "Besides, this might be our only chance to report our findings directly to the Alpha King."
His eyes were red and weary, evidence of too many sleepless nights. Zion hadn’t rested properly in days—haunted by the same recurring nightmare of Addison, bloodied and crawling, over and over again.
"Alpha Zion, I think you should rest. You’ve been working nonstop without sleep for days. Even if werewolves have strong bodies and fast healing, you can’t keep pushing yourself like this," Levi advised, frowning as he looked at Zion.
