Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Feeling Guilty

DAMIEN’S POV

The dial tone rang in my ear after Sophia hung up. I stared at my phone. My wolf snarled with frustration. She’d never hung up on me before.

"Fuck," I muttered, slamming the phone down on the table.

We were at an upscale restaurant - Simon, Nate, Tiffany, Ashley, and me. Some investor dinner that had run long, and Ashley had insisted on coming because Tiffany would be there.

Now I needed a minute to collect myself.

"I’m going to the restroom," I said.

Tiffany looked up from where she was helping Ashley with her dessert. "Are you okay?"

"Fine." I didn’t wait for a response, just headed for the bathroom.

Once inside, I pulled out a cigarette and smoked it.

The door opened and Simon walked in, leaning against the counter with his arms crossed.

"Want to tell me what that was about?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"Bullshit. You look like you want to punch someone." Simon studied my face. "Sophia again?"

I took another drag. "She’s been acting strange."

"Strange how?"

"Distant. She won’t tell me where she is or what she’s doing." I flicked ash into the sink. "And there are these photos online-"

"The ones with Zade Morrison? I saw those. You think it’s really her?"

"I don’t know..."

"If it is her, what are you going to do about it?"

"What can I do? She’s made it clear she wants nothing to do with me."

Simon shook his head. "You’re her mate, Damien. You have every right to know what she’s doing and who she’s with. Especially if she’s sneaking around with your business rival."

He was right. I smoked some more, trying to calm myself down.

"Come on," Simon said, pushing off the counter. "We should get back. Ashley was falling asleep when I left."

We returned to find Ashley curled up on Tiffany’s lap, closing her eyes. Tiffany was stroking her hair gently, murmuring something I couldn’t hear.

The image should have warmed me. My daughter, comfortable and cared for. But instead, I felt... off, like something was missing from the picture.

"Look at that," Simon said. "You two look like a real family."
