Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 685

Chapter 685 Epilogue

"She's a traitor too!" the man who looked exactly like Zander shouted.

Before I could even process what was happening, Maddox stepped forward, flanked by two guards.

"You're under our custody," they declared, raising their weapons at me.

Shock crashed over me like a tidal wave. Maddox? Betraying Zander? But before I could react, they shoved me toward Zander. I didn't resist—I wanted to be close to him.

"What's going on, Zander?" I demanded, my voice laced with confusion and fear.

"Oh, Selena... why did you come here?" he groaned, his voice thick with anguish, his face filled with helplessness.

"Well, well," the imposter drawled, finally catching my full attention.

The Dark Alpha.

I narrowed my eyes at him, my stomach twisting in disgust. I knew exactly who he

was.

"I was waiting for you, mate," he said smoothly.

Even though his voice sounded exactly like Zander's, it made my skin crawl.

"I am not your mate!" I bellowed.

He chuckled, shaking his head. "Feisty, huh?"

I turned to the council members and Maddox, who stood there, completely fooled by this monster.

"Why are you not recognizing Zander?!" I yelled at them, frustration bubbling over.

"It's not their fault," Zander cut in because no one responded. His voice was tight, but controlled. "He's captured their shadows and trapped them in his shadow world. That's why they have no control over their minds. They believe whatever he tells them."

Oh, Goddess... what kind of monstrous power was that?

"Thank you for admiring me in front of our mate," the Dark Alpha said with a sick grin.

His face might have been identical to Zander's, but the resemblance ended there. There was nothing warm or kind about him. He had turned my mate's handsome features into something cruel-something purely demonic.

"You think you can win with deceit?" I gritted out, my fists clenched. "But you forgot one thing-you have to face me. Selena Blake, Luna of the Alpha King and Queen of the Lunar Realm."

I rose to my feet, standing tall before him, unshaken.

The Dark Alpha's sinful smile deepened. "Oh, my mate, I haven't forgotten a thing," he said smoothly. "In fact, I'm quite pleased. A she-wolf this powerful, all thanks to the Alpha King."

He let out a taunting laugh. “But what happens next will make you regret ever being his Luna."

His gaze darkened, turning sinister, and I felt Arena weaken inside me.
