Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband

Chapter 523 Who Is Jealous, Alpha King? *Selena*

Oh no! How could I be so careless? But... but he was the one who instigated my reaction. My eyes darted back and forth between Zander's once pristine white shirt and his tailored, expensive grey suit, worth a fortune, now colored in juice, and the shattered glass jug on

the floor. Panic surged through me as I worried about what others might think, assuming I did it intentionally.

"Oh, my Goddess! I'm sorry, I am so sorry, Alpha," I mumbled, clasping a hand over my mouth, my heart racing with embarrassment. I reached out, instinctively grabbing Zander's hand, and pulled him towards the sink, eager to salvage the situation.

"I swear I didn't spoil your clothes intentionally," I uttered in a rush, trying to explain myself. With a sense of urgency, I grabbed a glass, filling it with water, and splashed it onto his shirt, frantically trying to wash away the colorful, tangy stain from his expensive white fabric. He flinched, muttering a curse under his breath, and I felt even worse for the mess I had caused.

"Oh no, you're drenched, and you have to go to the office," I murmured worriedly as I watched water droplets trickle down his now-drenched clothes.

"It's okay, Selena," he assured in his deep voice, attempting to reassure me.

"I am sorry," I mumbled again, shaking my head in genuine regret, hoping he would understand that my actions were accidental.

In an unexpected move, he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, his gaze intense, and my heart skipped a beat.

"One more time, you say sorry, and I will kiss you," he threatened playfully, causing my eyes to widen in surprise.

I blinked, my heart racing as I quickly glanced around the kitchen. What if someone heard us? Luckily, all the omegas were busy serving on the dining table, leaving us alone in the kitchen.

"Your shirt," I gasped, my eyes shifting back to his drenched clothes, feeling guilty for ruining his outfit.

"You can spoil as many shirts as you want; I don't mind," he whispered, a hint of a smile forming on his lips, and my heart fluttered at the sight of his unexpected grin.

Goddess, he actually smiled! It was a stark contrast to my memory of my cruel ex-mate who never smiled.

"Selena!" I heard a thundering voice, and instinctively, I pulled my hand from Zander's grasp, though he didn't let go. My head turned abruptly to find Eden glaring at me with intense disapproval. "You useless, clumsy butler!" she spat out, her words sharp and filled with disdain.

"How dare you spoil Alpha's clothes," she gritted her teeth in anger, clearly infuriated by the situation.

"Eden!" Before I could even attempt to give an explanation, Zander's voice roared, surprising me with the anger in his tone. "It's not her fault. It was my mistake," he confirmed firmly, coming to my defense. His grip on my hand tightened instead of releasing me.

"I-I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't know about it," Eden mumbled in fear, feeling the overwhelming aura emitting from the Alpha King. The atmosphere around Zander turned so intimidating and scary that no one could stand before him unaffected.

"You can leave now, and remember to clarify before blaming anyone next time," Zander scolded, his voice commanding and authoritative, demanding obedience. Eden immediately ran off, looking horrified. Alpha King's aura was overpowering, making everyone submit before him.

"I am going to change my clothes," Zander whispered, surprising me once more as both his voice and gaze softened.

I nodded silently, still taken aback by the sudden shift in his demeanor. I couldn't tell if this was his true self or if he was once again pretending to be sweet.

As he left, I cleared the glass pieces from the floor, ensuring the area was safe, and then filled another jug with juice before carrying it to the breakfast table. The omegas were bustling around, efficiently serving everyone and placing plates of food before them. Lola playfully came to my side and whispered in a teasing tone, "Why are you blushing so much this morning?"

"I'm not blushing, Lola," I retorted, my cheeks flushing slightly despite my denial. She grinned mischievously, clearly enjoying my discomfort.

"Oh, I know why you're blushing today," she teased, winking at me, which made me gasp. What did she mean?

I quickly tried to regain my composure, "Lola, you're imagining things. I'm not blushing!"

Her smile widened as she spilled the beans, "Prince Damon is here for breakfast today, and he asked about you twice!"

Relief washed over me as I heard her mention Prince Damon. So, she didn't know about the incident with Alpha Zander. My brain worked swiftly, trying to process the unexpected news. "Prince Damon?! What is he doing here? I thought he was staying at the Moonglow pack's seven-star hotel," I asked, genuinely surprised by the prince's presence at our pack's breakfast table. "Luna Avery has invited him for breakfast, and oh my goddess, he looks so hot in casuals," Lola gushed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"You lazy omegas," Eden scowled at

us, her stern tone cutting through our conversation. "Stop gossiping and go back to work. The royals

won't be waiting for you to preparee

breakfast. You know the

consequences of being late," she warned firmly, reminding us of the

importance of our duties, Lola and I

exchanged a quick look of

understanding and hurriedly

returned to our tasks.

As the breakfast progressed smoothly, I caught sight of Prince Damon, looking effortlessly handsome in his casual attire. His presence was magnetic, drawing attention from everyone in the room, including me. "Good morning. How are you, Selena?" Prince Damon greeted me with a charming smile, and to my surprise, he didn't address me as Isabella today.

"I am fine, thank you, Prince Damon," I replied softly, feeling my cheeks warm up under his gaze.

"Call me Damon," he insisted, his eyes locked onto mine. An unknown sensation tingled my heart.

I nodded politely, trying to regain my composure, and returned to my job, focusing on serving breakfast to the royals. Zander had changed into a new black suit and white shirt. He took his seat, engaging in pleasantries with Prince Damon.

LOV

Throughout the breakfast, Damon's attention seemed to be fixated on me. I could feel his eyes following me wherever I went, making me slightly uneasy.

Once the meal was over, and I began to collect the plates, Damon called out my name again, drawing the attention of those around us.

"Selena, I was thinking... Can I take you to lunch?!" he asked politely, but his direct approach before everyone caught me off guard.

"No!" I refused promptly, immediately regretting my abrupt response. "I mean, I have work, and I don't get a day off," I stumbled over my words, trying to find a way to decline without offending him. "Oh, that will not be a problem if I talk to Miss Avery," Damon offered, showing persistence in his request.

Damon turned toward Avery, his charming demeanor intact.

"Miss Avery, can I take Selena for lunch?" he asked politely, his eyes glancing toward me with a hint of hope.

Avery agreed quickly, "Yes."

"No!" But a refusal from Zander

came just as quickly as Avery's agreement. Both Avery and Zander spoke simultaneously, their conflicting opinions filling the room. Avery's head snapped towards Zander, her expression questioning his objection. noveldrama

"I mean, who will help during the preparation of lunch if she won't be available at that time?" Zander reiterated, trying to justify his stance.

"Oh, come on, Zander! We have so many Omegas in the pack house. Anyone can take over her duties. But Prince Damon is our honorable guest, and we cannot disappoint him," Avery replied persuasively, defending her point of view.

"Still, Selena doesn't want to go with him. You can't force her," Zander's intense gaze locked onto mine, his eyes seeming to search for something.

Oh, Alpha King, you think so highly of yourself. If you can move on, I can too. Yet, something in me shifted. I wanted to go, not for Damon's sake but to prove to myself that I could move forward.

"I don't have any problem going to lunch with Prince Damon!" I said, surprising even myself. I saw Zander clench his jaw, his eyes narrowing slightly. His deep blue eyes bore into mine, forcing me to take my words back.

"I am ready for a lunch date with Prince Damon if I get a day off," I declared, trying to muster up the courage and putting on a brave smile. I saw Zander scowling, unable to hide his annoyance at my decision.

"Great. You have a full day off. Go and accompany Prince Damon. Take care of our royal guest," Avery grinned, clearly delighted with the outcome.

"I will try my best to provide good company to our royal guest," I said, smiling sincerely.

Damon got up from his seat, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Selena. If you're ready, can we leave?"

"Give me a few minutes, Prince Damon. I want to get ready properly for our lunch

date," I said with a smile. Damon nodded, his grin growing wider, and Zander left his seat abruptly.

Now, who's jealous, Alpha King?!
