Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Good News For Bianca

SOPHIA’S POV

It was way past one in the morning when I finally got to my room.

I didn’t turn on the main light. I moved through the dark by memory. This house was the one I had grown up in. I knew these floors totally now.

I stopped at Klara’s door first.

I pushed it open just enough to see her. She was exactly as I had left her - curled on her side, the blanket pulled up to her chin. She was breathing slowly.

I stood in the doorway for a moment, just looking at her.

Sleep, I thought.

I pulled the door closed without a sound and went to my own room.

-

I changed slowly. My movements were also tired. My right arm had stiffened during the drive back. I could feel the injured muscles tightening the way they always did in the cold. I worked around the bandage carefully, keeping my movements small.

When I finally lay down and pulled the covers up, my body felt heavy.

Sleep should have come immediately.

It didn’t.

My mind wouldn’t stop. I thought of everything that happened.

I thought of Bianca’s voice on the phone, the way she whispered. I thought of how scared she sounded. I had known Bianca for twelve years. I had heard her loud and furious. I’d heard her heartbroken and ridiculous with laughter. I had never heard her whisper like that before.

Then Zade. I thought of how he gripped Marcel’s collar calmly then how he drove me back through the city in silence.

I didn’t know what to do with Zade. I had never known what to do with him, and the longer this went on the less certain I became that the question had an answer.

And then Damien. I thought of how he gripped my arm tightly, the look on his face afterward, standing over Tiffany on the floor.

His words echoed in my head - Why have you turned so cold?

He said it as if the cold had come from nowhere, as if it hadn’t been built by him.

My heart felt heavy and tangled with all of it. There were too many people, too many emotions, too many things pulling in too many directions.

I reached for my phone. I saw one new message from Lance, sent forty minutes ago.

Lance: Hope you’re home safe. Rest that arm tonight - no excuses. See you tomorrow.

His message made me smile. His words made me feel warm inside.

I typed back: Home safe. Arm is resting. Thank you, Lance.

I sent it, then scrolled up.

There was another unread message above Lance’s. This one was from Damien, sent two hours ago, after I had left Stone Manor.

Damien: I’m sorry for grabbing your arm tonight. I know I hurt you. I know I had no right. I’ll sign the papers soon, I promise. I’m sorry, Sophia.

My wolf stayed still inside me. She didn’t stir. She didn’t react. She just watched. There was no anger reading his message, no residual hurt.

I felt nothing. I didn’t have any emotions.

I set the phone face-down on the nightstand without replying.
