Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 Entry Of The Villain
Arabella found herself confined within the palace walls, restricted from venturing beyond her room whenever Alpha Alexander was present. Her freedom was tethered to his comings and goings, limited to the moments when he departed for work or meetings. The arrangement left her feeling like a captive in her own home. Amidst the vastness of the palace, she found solace only in the company of a few trusted servants and maids, who were permitted to converse with her and cater to her needs.

The library became Arabella's haven, a sanctuary where the pages of books offered her an escape.

"I need the book called Knight of the Crimson Moon. Have you found it?" she inquired, her voice laced with frustration.

"I scoured the library thoroughly, my lady, but regrettably, it remains elusive," the maid responded cautiously. "If you wish, I can retrieve another book for you," she offered.

"Leave it," Arabella waved her hand dismissively. "I'll find it myself."

"Wait, my lady," the maid attempted to intervene, but Arabella pressed on without halting.

"Alpha Alexander has departed for work, which means I can finally roam around the palace," Arabella muttered to herself as she hurried toward the library. It had always been her sanctuary, a place where she found solace, yet the Alpha's presence had barred her from indulging in her love for books.

Stepping out of her room, she noticed the hushed atmosphere that enveloped the palace. Servants bustled about, engrossed in their daily tasks. Determined, she made a beeline for the library. There, she could immerse herself in the world of literature, a refuge from the constraints imposed upon her.

As Arabella entered, the librarian stood up immediately upon spotting the Queen, greeting her with the utmost respect.

"My grace," the librarian said.

Arabella nodded in response and, with her head held high, she swiftly entered the library.

"My grace, would you like some books?" inquired the librarian.

Aware of Zephyr's strict instructions to monitor her every move, Arabella felt the weight of surveillance bearing down on her, stifling her desire for freedom. Despite the opulence of her room, she yearned for the simplicity of fresh air and space beyond those luxurious walls.

"What more could I possibly find in this library?" Arabella scoffed, her voice tinged with frustration, as she combed through the shelves in search of her beloved tome.

"Which book are you seeking?" pressed the librarian, a hint of urgency in their tone.

"Knight of the Crimson Moon," Arabella absentmindedly replied, her focus still fixed on scanning the racks for the elusive title.

Alexander silently nodded, even though she couldn't see him. He remained silent, standing there and contemplating his next move.

"Please, just leave," Arabella pleaded, her voice trembling with uncertainty.

"Alright, I'm leaving. I'll leave the book for you on the desk," he replied hastily before swiftly exiting the library. Once outside the palace, he sprinted away, his breathing heavy as he grappled with controlling his wolf.

He couldn't fathom what might have occurred had he stayed. The tumultuous struggle within him left him conflicted, torn between conflicting desires and instincts he had never encountered before.

As Alexander's departure lifted the overpowering scent that had threatened to unravel her sanity, Arabella felt a rush of relief flood her senses. Emerging from her concealed spot behind the book rack, she cast her eyes around the room and spotted the sought-after book resting on the desk.

Approaching the desk, Arabella reached out and instinctively brushed her fingers over the cover of the book, a subtle shiver running down her spine as if she could still sense the lingering presence of the forbidden male. Conflicting emotions surged within her, causing a surge of fear to grip her mind at the forbidden feelings that stirred for another man, sensations her body reacted to without her consent.

Startled by her own reactions, Arabella abruptly dropped the book, her heart pounding in her chest. Without a moment's hesitation, she fled from the library, seeking solace in the refuge of her room. Zephyr's warnings echoed in her mind. The inexplicable allure that Alpha Alexander seemed to possess, the unsettling power to enchant, was undeniable. The undeniable enchantment in Alpha Alexander's presence seemed to bewitch females. It was best, she decided, to seclude herself in her room for as long as Alpha Alexander remained within the palace walls.
