Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 599

Chapter 599 Destined
“No, she can’t go just like that,” Zander’s authoritative voice cut through the tense air before I could even respond. He stepped forward, pulling me protectively behind him, his stance firm and unyielding.

“Alpha King,” my mother replied, her tone calm but resolute. “This is her fate, and we cannot change it. She must go to the Lunar Realm. She belongs there. Her people are waiting for her.”

Her words made me frown in confusion. My people? What did that even mean?

“Mother, I belong where my family is—where my mate is,” I protested, stepping forward. “I understand that the people in the Lunar Realm need my help, but that is not my home.”

My mother didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she smiled softly as if hiding a lot behind that. “Let’s go, Selena,” she said gently, reaching out to hold my hand.

I hesitated but eventually stepped toward her.

“No, Selena, don’t go!” Zander’s voice, raw with desperation, stopped me in my tracks. “My heart says something isn't right.”

I turned to look at him, and the sadness and yearning in his eyes made my chest tighten and I swallowed, torn between my love and duty.

“But, Zander,” I whispered, my voice trembling, “they need me.”

“We will find a way to save the Lunar Realm. We are stronger together, remember?” Zander said, his voice laced with determination as his hands tightened around mine, grounding me in his unwavering support.

Before I could respond, my mother interjected, her calm voice lacing with reasons. “Alpha King, your mate is the strongest wolf, blessed with the powers of the Moon Goddess herself. She doesn’t need anyone to change the fate of the Lunar Realm and save her people.”

Her words left me speechless. The implications of her statement swirled in my mind, leaving me confused and unsettled.

Why was she repeatedly emphasizing two words? My people?! I belonged there?!

My mother’s expression darkened, her response firm. “No, Selena, you cannot abandon your people.”

Her words made me frown in frustration.

“Mother, I don’t belong here!” I argued, my voice filled with emotion. “I am the Alpha King’s wife, the Luna Queen, and the pack members of the Moonglow Pack are my people.”

My mother’s expression remained calm, but her words cut through me like a blade. “No, Selena. Zander is your mate, but you do not belong there. His purpose was to strengthen your wolf, protect you, and keep you hidden until the time was right. That was his sole role in your life—nothing more.”

I stared at her, my heart sinking as her explanation continued. “You have to accept this truth, my daughter. Zander was merely a vessel to help you awaken your true destiny. Your fate lies here. You were born to rule the Lunar Realm and care for its people.”

Her words left me shocked and utterly dumbfounded.
