Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 676 Significant Clue

*Zander*

Selena had left with the High Priestess, and now the world believed we had broken up. To them, she thought I had betrayed her and wanted nothing to do with me. The deception was working as planned, yet the weight of it settled heavily on my chest.

I had instructed my Gamma, Ethan, to keep a close watch on Alpha Albert and Anne, tracking their every move. If our suspicions were right, they wouldn't be able to hide for long. But for now, all I could do was wait.

And waiting was excruciating.

Hours had passed, and I still hadn't heard from Selena. The silence gnawed at me like a slow-burning fire. Lyon paced inside me, restless and agitated. Something felt wrong. We both knew the danger lurking in the shadows was closer than ever, and the longer we remained disconnected, the more unbearable the uncertainty became.

A sudden mind link broke through my thoughts.

'Austin finally fell asleep,' Blair's voice came through, laced with exhaustion. 'He cried himself to sleep after missing Selena all day.'

I closed my eyes, my jaw tightening. My son.

Selena had been devastated when she was forced to leave him behind. I had seen the pain in her eyes, the silent tears she tried to hide as she walked away from our crying child. And now, Austin had spent hours sobbing in her absence. He had his family around him, but Selena was alone in the Lunar Realm, surrounded by uncertainty and potential danger.

The thought sent a fresh wave of frustration crashing through me. I should have been able to protect her, to be by her side. But all I could do was wait-wait and hope she was safe.

I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. My feet moved on their own, pacing the room in a desperate attempt to manage the unbearable weight pressing down on my chest. The silence was suffocating, each second stretching longer than it should.
