Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 683

Chapter 683 A Queen's Duty
As my heart sank, the lava began to recede, shrinking its perimeter and retreating on its own. The ominous red moons grew smaller, drifting farther away with each passing second. The sacrifice had worked—the prophecy was fulfilled.

“Let’s go from here,” the Moon Goddess said, her grip tightening around my hand.

“What will happen to the Dark Realm?” God Pyrrhos asked.

“The Almighty will assign it to another deity, appointing a new god of destruction,” Goddess Sylvara informed, and the Moon Goddess nodded in agreement.

With that, we left the Dark Realm, but my eyes lingered on the spot where my mother had made the ultimate sacrifice to save the universe.

I found myself back in the Lunar Realm. The sky had now returned to normal, and the three red moons were nowhere to be seen.

“Selena,” the Moon Goddess said, her voice gentle yet firm. “I now entrust you with the Lunar Realm. It is yours to protect and nurture.”

“But Goddess, how will I do it alone without the High Priestess?” I asked, my heart still aching from the painful realization of my mother’s loss.

“You will do it, and I have faith in you,” she assured me. “Your mother prepared you well. Now, you must trust your instincts.”

With those words, she began to fade, and one by one, God Pyrrhos and Goddess Sylvara also disappeared, returning to their realms.

The next moment, a familiar voice called out, “Selena!”

I turned to find Zander running toward me, worry etched across his face.

“I was so scared when I couldn’t reach you,” he whispered, wrapping me in his arms and holding me tightly against his chest. “Are you alright?” He pulled away slightly, his gaze searching mine.

I nodded, but he must have seen the pain in my eyes because his brows furrowed deeply. “What’s wrong?”

“The world was saved… by the ultimate sacrifice,” I murmured, my lips trembling. His expression shifted to confusion.

“My mother’s sacrifice,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “She saved me… and the world. But I lost her.” Tears spilled freely down my face as a sob tore through me.

Zander pulled me back into his embrace, holding me as though he could shield me from the pain.

“Perhaps… that was destiny,” he murmured softly, his voice soothing, his presence grounding me. His warmth seeped through me, and our mate bond slowly began to heal the wounds deep within my soul.

"Let's go home," he said softly.
