Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 587 Black Magic Zander

As I was talking to Seer, my eyes suddenly fell on the altar. The top stone abruptly changed its color, emitting a beam of red light that shot straight into the distance. My eyes followed the path and I saw the light fall on dense bushes.

I handed the phone back to Maddox without finishing our conversation, as this event had me strangely intrigued, and I walked towards the bushes.

"Alpha, where are you going?" Maddox was hot on my heels.

"Look at this, Maddox," I said, pointing to the beam of light falling on the bushes. "There's something there, and I need to find out what it is." Maddox didn't argue. As we reached the bushes, the light suddenly faded, making the corner darken abruptly.

"What the fuck just happened?" Maddox groaned. "This place is full of puzzles and I still think we should find Luna and leave immediately," he mumbled as advice. "Maddox, you wait here and let me see what is behind these bushes," I said as I stepped forward.

"Wait, Alpha, I can't let you go alone," he responded firmly. "I will come with you." I smiled amusedly at my Beta, knowing how protective he was of me. "Let's go then," I nodded as I led the way.

I separated the bushes and made a path through.

"Oh my goddess!" Maddox gasped as an illuminated circle appeared out of nowhere between the bushes. "What is this?" he mumbled again.

"Frankly, I don't know Maddox, but my instinct tells me I can find answers to my questions here," I said, taking a deep breath as I stepped forward.

"This place... it's incredible," he said, barely above a whisper. "And this seems like a ritual," he pointed to a story depicted through the carvings. "The King offered something to the God, and he was granted his wish," I mumbled while examining it. "But what could the wish have been, and how did the kingdom end up doomed?" I couldn't help
