Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549 The War
*Selena*

"Father, let's keep this fight between us. Don't involve a child in this. Release Selena's son!" Damon interrupted.

"Have you forgotten your manners, Damon? What's gotten into you all of a sudden? Don't you remember that they are our enemies, and we need to defeat them?" Silas scolded his son with a snarl, but Damon seemed unaffected, glaring at his father with fury.

"I haven't forgotten anything, Father. I remember very well that a true warrior never uses elders, children, or women in their fight. They fight with bravery and rely on strength," Damon declared with a roar.

I was deeply impressed by his words. Despite being seen as our rival, a bloodthirsty Vampire, he appeared to be a man of honor and power.

Zander exchanged a glance with Damon, and without a word, Damon lunged at the vampire holding Austin, swiftly grabbing him and passing him to me. I held my son tightly in my arms while our soldiers drew their swords, launching an attack on the cunning vampires.

Silas was caught off guard by Zander and Damon's unexpected move, looking shocked and bewildered.

"Damon, you're a traitor! You're fighting for the enemy's side. I disown you," Silas snarled, ordering his soldiers, "Attack! Ensure no one escapes alive."

"Keep dreaming, Silas. Your time is up," Zander declared as he shifted and leaped into the fray.

I held onto Austin firmly, reassuring him, "Baby boy, Mom's here. No one can harm you. Just keep your eyes closed and don't look at what's happening around us."

Austin obediently hid his face in my shoulder, holding me tightly and shutting his eyes.

Zander and Maddox shielded me, safeguarding both Austin and me by fiercely battling the Vampires with their expert skills.

However, more Vampire soldiers arrived, intensifying the fight. There were painful screams, blood spattering everywhere, creating a frightening scene.

Amidst the chaos, I witnessed Uncle Jack, fighting alongside the Vampires, launching an attack on Zander from behind. But he was no match for the Alpha King. In a swift move, Zander tossed him into the air, snapping his neck, and Uncle's lifeless body slammed against the far wall. Tears welled up in my eyes involuntarily. No matter how cunning he was, witnessing his death pained my heart. I wished he had listened to me, improved his actions by apologizing, and surrendered before the Alpha King.

"Selena, who will save you now?" I was lost in mourning over Uncle's death and didn't have time to be alert when Silas suddenly appeared behind me, grabbing me and preparing to bite. Austin screamed in horror.

Zander's gaze snapped toward me. He was at another corner as he shouted warnings at Silas. "Don't do anything foolish, Silas. I'm warning you."

But Silas laughed wickedly. "Your mate has to die, Alpha King."

Zander lunged, dashing toward me, and as Silas descended towards my neck, his teeth touched my skin. I closed my eyes, feeling my death drawing near, holding my breath and praying to the moon Goddess to save my son.

Suddenly, Silas was forcefully pulled away from me while Zander pulled me away at the same time before Silas’s teeth could sink into my neck. I saw Damon stabbing his father with a wooden stake, piercing his heart. "No one can harm my mate," he declared, trembling with anger, heaving and breathing loudly.
