Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668 My Naughty Mate
*Maddox*

I was already worried to death, and my naïve little mate seemed to love driving me insane by constantly throwing herself into danger. Was it so damn difficult for her to understand how much I loved her? We werewolves, especially Alpha and Beta males, were instinctively protective of their mates—we treasured the goddess’s gift more than our own lives. And for me, Blair was my heart, my reason to breathe. Seeing her in trouble made me want to set the world on fire just to keep her safe.

“Little mate!” I growled, throwing her onto our bed. “You should know better than to put yourself in danger. Or do you need me to remind you just how brutal your punishment can be, huh?”

Her doe-like eyes blinked up at me innocently, and for a moment, I nearly abandoned my plan to teach her a lesson.

“But I just wanted to help you, honey,” she pouted, and damn it, I wanted to devour those red lips right then and there.

I shook my head, forcing myself to resist the temptation she was stirring within me. I knew all her tricks—she was well aware of how easily she could affect me.

“Baby, it would be more helpful if you don’t distract me while I’m doing my duty,” I drawled, my voice edged with warning. “When Zander and I sensed that you and Selena were in danger, we abandoned a crucial lead on the unusual activity at the border to come find you. That wasn’t helping at all.”

She didn’t seem to understand that she was my greatest weakness. My enemies could use her to break me—capture her, hold her hostage, and force me to my knees. And if they ever demanded my life in exchange for hers, I wouldn’t hesitate.

Regret flickered in her eyes, and she looked like she was on the verge of tears as she whispered, “I’m sorry, honey. From now on, I’ll always let you know before doing something like that.”

Oh, darling, I know you too well to believe your words.

My mate was too stubborn to listen to reason. She made me follow her around day and night just to ensure her safety. Whenever I was on duty or had to travel across the world for business or any other pack matters, I assigned her a bodyguard—but she was too headstrong to let anyone stop her from doing whatever she pleased.

“Let’s see how long you actually keep this promise, baby,” I smirked, knowing exactly what was on her mind when she bit her lip.

I leaned back into the lounge chair in the corner of our room, my voice turning commanding. “Now, come here and sit on my lap.”
