Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Cold Daughter II

SOPHIA’S POV

Tiffany crouched down in front of Ashley right there on the pavement outside the kindergarten. She moved smoothly, confidently, like this was something she had done many times before.

Her voice softened in a way that immediately caught Ashley’s attention.

Ashley smiled when she saw her. Ashley hugged her tightly. “Hi, Aunt Tiffany”

“Hey,” Tiffany said gently, smiling. “How are you?”

“I’m fine. You?”

“I’m fine too.” 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

“Are you here to take me home?”

“No baby. But...” Tiffany paused and looked at me. “How about this? Why not go with Sophia tonight? I’ll take you away this weekend. Just you and me. If you say yes. We’ll go somewhere fun. Maybe the amusement park. And ice cream. As much as you want.”

Her words definitely caught Ashley’s attention. Her eyes widened. She studied Tiffany’s face closely, like she was weighing the promise.

“Really?” She asked after.

“Really,” Tiffany replied without hesitation. “I promise.”

Ashley hesitated only a second longer, then nodded. “Okay.”

That was it. No argument. No resistance. Just agreement.

It was so easy. The fact that Tiffany was able to convince Ashley so easily cut deeper than any insult ever could. My wolf whimpered softly inside me. She was wounded but she didn’t say anything.

“Thank you,” I said quietly to Tiffany. I kept my tone polite even though my throat burned. “I appreciate it.”

She smiled at me. She looked satisfied, like she had just solved a minor inconvenience.

Ashley walked ahead toward the car without looking back at me. Her steps were light now. She look pleased by the promise she’d been given.

I followed, reminding myself over and over that at least she was coming with me. That had to count for something.

Once we were in the car, I buckled Ashley in carefully. She didn’t look at me. I closed the door and got into the driver’s seat.

“How was school?” I asked softly as I started the engine. “Did you like your classes today?”

“Fine,” she said flatly, staring out the window “I like all my classes.”

“Anything fun happen?” I tried again. I started driving.

“No.”

I nodded, keeping my eyes on the road. “Did anyone bother you today?”
