Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Chapter 129 No Longer Welcome

SOPHIA’S POV

Damien pulled me roughly toward the side of the house, away from the windows where Ashley and the others could see us. His grip on my wrist was tight enough that I knew there would be bruises.

"Let go of me," I said coldly.

He released me but didn’t step back. "What the hell were you thinking, coming here and starting a fight with Tasha?"

"Starting a fight?" I stared at him in disbelief. “You believe that?”

"She said you barged in, refused to leave when she asked politely, and then got violent when she mentioned the divorce." Damien’s eyes flashed gold. "She’s recovering from cancer surgery, Sophia. What kind of person attacks a sick woman?"

"The kind who’s defending herself from being called pathetic and told she’s clinging to a man who doesn’t want her." My voice was cold "Or did that part not make it into her version of events?"

"Tasha wouldn’t-"

"Tasha insulted me first. She even said I was the only one who hadn’t moved on." I crossed my arms. "I told her this is still legally my house until the divorce is final. She lost her temper and threw Ashley’s castle at my head."

"You’re saying she threw it at you? Not that you tried to hit her with it?"

"Why would I destroy something Ashley and I built together? That castle was one of the few good memories I have with my daughter. The last time she actually smiled at me like she loved me. Why would I break it?"

Damien was quiet for a moment. I could tell that his wolf’s presence was agitated. I could see him trying to reconcile the two stories, trying to decide who to believe.

And I saw the exact moment he chose.

It wasn’t me. Never me.

"Even if what you’re saying is true," he said slowly, "you shouldn’t have engaged with her. You should have left as soon as things got heated. You know Tasha is fragile right now-"

"And I’m not?" The words burst out of me. "I’m not fragile? I don’t deserve consideration or protection? My feelings don’t matter at all?"

"That’s not what I’m saying-"

"Isn’t it?" I laughed bitterly. "You’ve made it very clear where your loyalties lie, Damien. It’s with them. Everyone gets your support and protection except me."

"Because you keep making it impossible!" His voice rose. "You come here uninvited, you upset everyone, you cause scenes-"

"I came here to get you to sign the divorce papers you’ve been avoiding for weeks!" I shouted back. "That’s it! That was my only goal!”

"You’re not allowed back here," Damien said. His voice dropped to alpha command. "Not until Ashley and Tasha have both fully recovered. You’re not welcome at Stone Villa anymore."

The words should have hurt. They should have cut deep.

But I felt nothing except cold relief.

"Fine," I said "I don’t want to be here anyway. Just sign the papers and send them to my lawyer. That’s all I’m asking."

"I said I would-"

"When, Damien? When will you actually do it?" I stepped closer, forcing him to meet my eyes. "Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you’re stalling, like you want to keep me tied to you while you build your new life. Like you want it both ways."

"That’s not-"

"Just sign them." My voice was tired now. "Please. Let me go. Let me move on with my life. Whatever we had is dead. All that’s left is paperwork. So finish it."

Damien’s jaw clenched. For a moment, I thought he might actually say something real, something honest.

Instead, he just nodded. "Fine. I’ll sign them this week."

"Good." I turned toward my car. "Goodbye, Damien."

I walked away. I got in my car, started the engine, and drove off without looking back.

My hands were shaking on the steering wheel. My wolf was whimpering in pain and confusion. The mate bond was pulling at me, trying to make me turn around, go back, fix things.

But I kept driving.

I made it three blocks before I had to pull over because my vision was blurring with tears. I sat there in my parked car, trying to breathe through the pain in my chest, when someone knocked on my window.
