Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 631 Chapter 631 Her Purpose

"You're not serious, are you?" I gasped, blinking at him as I nervously leaned back while he leaned closer to me.

He chuckled and, oh Goddess, the sound was so deep and teasing. "Why do you look so nervous, mate? I just asked for a kiss. That's it."

"You are... you are shameless," I mumbled, narrowing my eyes at the clear amusement he was taking in my misery.

"If anyone else had said that," he growled, his voice carrying the unmistakable authority of an alpha, "they would've been dead by now." His tone softened just slightly, though his gaze remained intense. "Only you can say such disrespectful words to me and get away with it. And still, you don't understand you don't need to be nervous around me."

Such a big ego my alpha had. Me? Afraid of him? Never. I was the queen of the Lunar Realm, a descendant of the Moon Goddess herself. I had no reason to fear him.

But... somehow, whenever he was this close, his presence seemed to mess with my resolve. My heart betrayed me, pounding loudly in my chest, and I found myself fumbling like a novice.

Stay strong, Selena! I reminded myself sternly.

Summoning my courage, I snapped back, "I don't fear you, Alpha King."

"Then give me a kiss," he persisted, his tone low and determined.

I huffed out a breath.

"Fine!" I murmured, meeting his gaze as I leaned closer. His eyes darkened with desire, his breathing quickening in anticipation.

Biting my lip to suppress a grin, I tilted my head and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.
