Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

"I am an Alpha, and this is my pack," he replied coolly, his tone calm but unapologetic. "I have many responsibilities to handle, and I don't need to ask anyone's permission every time."

His nonchalant response only fueled my anger.

Arrogant, self-absorbed Alpha King!

I huffed internally, biting back a sharp retort.

"So, you mean to tell me you don't feel the need to let your mate know you won't be coming home for an entire night?" I countered, my voice laced with annoyance. "If you're so self-absorbed and wrapped up in your precious duties, Alpha King, maybe I have no reason to stay here. Perhaps I should return to my realm," I threatened, throwing his arrogance right back at him.

Zander's eyes widened slightly, the weight of my words crashing into him. For a moment, he looked as if reality had hit him square in the chest.

Of course, two can play this game of arrogance, Alpha.

I tilted my chin up, meeting his now-conflicted gaze with unwavering defiance.

"I was on night patrol," he finally admitted, his voice softer now, as though trying to pacify me. "I came home early this morning."

I let out a dry snort, unimpressed by his explanation. Now he seemed to realize the cost of his aloofness. "But no one knew about it," I snapped, my frustration evident. "Even your beta had no idea where you went. You blocked his mindlink too!" My tone was sharp, accusing. I was ready for a fight.
