Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 507 The Prophecy *Zander*

"Mother, Selena is here for personal reasons, and Avery can explain it to you better, as Selena is working under her," I dismissed it furiously.

"But it is not a wise choice to keep her in this pack, knowing everything about her traitor family," my mother warned, her concern evident. "Selena has been cleared of any involvement in her family's crimes," I replied earnestly, withholding the whole truth of her actions.

I knew what she had done in the past, and I ignored it because it was not a big crime to help her family financially. She was secretly sending money to her father's pack, though they were involved in many criminal activities. But it was against the law of my pack. When I found out, I burned all evidence of her wrongdoing, not wanting her to be disgraced by her own people as she was their Luna. I did it for both my people and her.

"We didn't find any evidence linking her to the crimes. It would be unjust to act without proof," I described.

"Why are you defending her?" my mother bit out, her frustration boiling over.

"I am not defending anyone. I am simply stating the facts," I snapped back, my frustration mounting. Just as tension filled the room, there was a knock on the door, interrupting our heated conversation. "Come in, Avery," my mother instructed sweetly, and Avery entered gracefully.

"Good evening, Lady Catherine," Avery greeted my mother respectfully as a flattering smile stretched across her face.

"Hello, Avery! I was just discussing the unexpected return of Selena to our pack," my mother said, raising her chin slightly. Avery nodded, sensing the gravity of the situation.

"Zander mentioned that Selena works under you?" my mother questioned, her tone laced with suspicion. Avery appeared momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her composure.

"Yes, Lady Catherine. Selena is here to work as she needed money and we helped her," Avery explained, her voice steady.

"That's not a big deal. Zander, I believe you can pay her off and promptly remove her from the pack," my mother demanded, her eyes fixed on me.

"No!" Avery and I exclaimed simultaneously.
