Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584 Ther Cursed Land
*Selena*

Zander stood there, flanked by his beta, Maddox, and gamma, Ethan. His aura exuded intimidation, demanding submission from those around him. Despite the urge to run and jump into his arms, I resisted. He still held that effect on me. But then he dropped the bombshell: he claimed that Damon and my mate bond was fake. How could he say such a thing? I knew what I felt, and the undeniable pull of the mate bond between Damon and me confirmed its authenticity.

"What are you saying, Zander?" I retorted, my voice laced with confusion. "I can feel the bond too. How can you claim that Damon is faking it?"

"Because it's true. Avery revealed it before she died," he declared solemnly.

"What? Avery has died?" I gasped, my heart sinking. "H...how? What happened to her?"

"It's a long story, Selena, and I'll explain everything. But now is not the time. You need to leave from here," he demanded, his tone firm.

"So you're trusting Avery over me?!" I countered defensively, incredulous that he would believe Avery's words over my own. It was absurd.

"Selena, a dying person never lies," he gritted his teeth, his annoyance evident through his expression.

"I understand that she was your best friend, but every time you choose her over me, believing her more than you believe me, it makes me realize that being with Damon was the right decision," I returned with rage, but regret flooded me when I saw the hurt in his eyes.

"Selena is right. You're trusting a liar, and you have no idea how long Avery has been deceiving you," Damon interjected, standing beside me and dropping an arm over my shoulder.

"Shut the fuck up and leave my mate," Zander growled with anger. "I'd sooner believe a demon than believe you."

"That's your mistake, Zander," Damon grimaced.

This time, Zander appeared to be in the wrong, while Damon was right. Zander always behaved harshly toward me, never pausing to consider his actions or decisions.

But Zander became even more furious after Damon's next words, "You can't just yell and prove anything true; you need to accept that Selena is my mate." With a swift punch, Zander sent Damon stumbling backward, nearly causing him to fall. I rushed to Damon's side, catching him before he hit the ground. As our eyes met, I could see fury reflected in his gaze. His golden trident gleamed ominously, and I couldn't help but feel a shiver of terror, remembering what he had done to Demon Kong.

"What are you doing, Zander? You'll hurt him," I protested.

"Are you worried about him?!" Zander's gaze darkened with jealousy and anger. "I haven't hit him properly yet; otherwise, he wouldn't still be standing in front of me," he declared menacingly.

Then he grabbed my hand authoritatively and began tugging me with him, "Let's go, Selena."

"Selena won't go anywhere," Damon growled as he held my other hand. I felt like a pawn caught between two men, both vying for dominance.

"Let go of me," I growled aggressively, snatching my hands free from both of my mates and glaring at them. "Go to hell, both of you!" I shouted as I broke away and ran.

"Selena!" I heard Zander bellowing, but I didn't care. I was fed up with being used as a tool. Even if one of them was my fated mate and the other was the man I loved, they didn't have the right to hurt me and manipulate my emotions like this.
