Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 594 The New King

"Silas Shadowborne's son?!" Zander's eyes narrowed into piercing slits as he appraised Jasper. "And you expect us to believe you when your name has never crossed my ears?"

Jasper's voice was tinged with bitterness as he explained, "Damon manipulated our father, forcing my mother and me into exile from the kingdom. I was prepared to return when I learned of Father's death and Damon's treachery, but my mother insisted it was Father's dying wish for Damon to rule. When I heard of Uncle's murder and Damon's flight, I returned to confront whoever was plunging my land into chaos." His gaze swept over us, a glint of disdain flickering in his eyes.

"We aren't causing chaos; we liberated your land from the clutches of your half-brother Damon. Now, we're striving to restore peace and unity after your king fled in defeat," I interjected, sensing the tension escalating.

"We don't need your interference, especially not from wolves who deceived and killed my father!" Jasper's voice thundered, causing Zander to step forward protectively, positioning himself between the vampire prince and me.

"Stay the fuck away from my mate!" Zander's voice echoed through the room, a low, dangerous growl rumbling from his chest. His eyes blazed with protective fury as he stood tall, his presence commanding and fierce.

I placed a steadying hand on Zander's shoulder, feeling the tension radiating from him like a storm about to break.

"Listen, Jasper," I urged, my voice firm yet calm, "we need to talk calmly. Anger won't get us anywhere but into more trouble."

Jasper's gaze locked with mine for a long, tense moment before he finally released a sharp breath, his jaw tightening in reluctant agreement. "Fine."

I gestured to Maddox to escort Jasper to the conference room, ensuring he was comfortable while Zander and I delved into the details to verify Jasper's claims.

Althea and Blair had been safely escorted back to the Moonglow Pack by warriors, while Austin, left alone, seemed agitated. Blair's presence was essential to soothe him until my return. Despite his grandmother's presence, Austin's crankiness was evident after several days of separation from me.
