Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 585 Past And Present *Zander*

The tension crackled in the air as Damon's accusing words pierced through the atmosphere. "See, you made our mate run!" he accused me, his voice laced with anger and frustration.

"She is not your mate," I snapped back, my own emotions boiling beneath the surface. "And you made her upset and run, you asshole."

Damon's eyes flared with fury, and he took a menacing step forward. "Don't dare to disrespect me in my kingdom and my palace and think you can get away alive," he threatened, his voice low and dangerous. But I didn't flinch at his words. I damn care about his threat.

"You think you can threaten the Alpha king?!" I challenged, my voice rising with authority. "Your territory or mine, it doesn't matter because I only need my two bare hands to rip your head apart from your body, and you'll be dead," I declared boldly, Lyon surfacing and trying to take over me to show him who the true alpha was.

"You want to see who is the king!" Damon roared, baring his teeth and picking up his filthy trident.

"Don't provoke the Alpha King, King Damon, if you want peace in your kingdom and don't want to start a war," Maddox intervened before things got worse.

"Leave now!" Damon shouted, making everyone tremble in the room. The audacity of that filthy vampire! I swiftly stood before him, our noses almost touching as we both glared at each other, heaving with anger.

"I won't leave without my mate!" I gritted out.

"You won't get her!" Damon ground his teeth. "She is mine!"

My hands grabbed his throat as he spat the words I never wanted to hear.

"She is only mine, and don't you dare claim her. You fucking liar!" I snarled, throwing him into the adjacent pillar. The impact was loud and thunderous, making the pillar shatter as if it were made of dirt. Damon groaned in pain as he got to his feet. "You've made the worst mistake of your life, Zander!" he bellowed, lifting his trident.

I was ready for his magical strike, my power swirling around me to counterattack. But before he could unleash his strike, a lady hurried in and stopped him.
