Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662 Everything Is Linked
When I returned home, I found Zander waiting for me in our room. His arms were crossed, and his expression was a mixture of relief and concern.

“Where were you, mate? I was worried. I couldn’t reach you,” he said, his voice gentle but laced with unease as he closed the distance between us in two quick steps, taking my hands in his.

The bond from our mating mark had been restored, reestablishing our connection and allowing us to mind-link once more. The link with the pack had also returned. But when I was in the Lunar Realm, the mind-link didn’t work. That made it clear: hiding my visit to the Lunar Realm was a bad idea. He’d know if I lied in a heartbeat.

We had promised each other we wouldn’t keep secrets anymore. So, I took a deep breath and told him the truth.

“Zander, I went to see my mother,” I admitted.

His eyes sharpened, instantly more attentive. “And?” he prompted, his tone calm but firm, knowing I would have had serious discussion with my mother.

I hesitated, searching for the right words. “She told me…” I trailed off, taking a deep breath before narrating everything my mother had confessed.

Zander listened intently, his expression growing darker with each word. When I finished, his jaw clenched so tightly I feared his teeth might crack.

“How could she call herself your mother and still throw you to the jaws of death?” he growled, the raw anger in his voice making the air feel heavy.

I swallowed, trying to calm the storm brewing between us.

“Zander, she didn’t fully realize the severity of what she was doing when she made the decision. At least, that’s what she says.”

His piercing eyes met mine, unrelenting. “And you believe that?”

I sighed, my hands trembling slightly. “When she saw that I had a life… a family… she regretted it. That’s why she made the deal with the God of Destruction. She thought it was the only way to save me—and the world.”

His brow furrowed, confusion flashing across his face. “The God of Destruction? What kind of deal?”

I swallowed hard, my hands twisting nervously. “She wants me to marry him. She believes it’s the only way to stop the process and save everyone. If I don’t… she says there’s no other way to change what’s already set in motion.”

Zander’s jaw tightened, his expression darkening. “She wants you to marry someone else? To that… god?” His voice was calm but carried an undercurrent of restrained anger.

I nodded, my voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, she thinks it’s the only way to save me—and the world.”
