Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 I Don-t Want You As My Mom Anymore

SOPHIA’S POV

I pulled Ashley into the upstairs bedroom and closed the door firmly behind us. The sound echoed louder than I expected.

My heart was already pounding. My wolf was restless under my skin. It was funny how it sensed danger where I should feel safety.

Ashley pulled her arm free and spun around. Her face twisted with rage.

“I hate this house!” she screamed. “I hate being here! I don’t want to stay!”

Her voice was loud enough that I knew everyone downstairs could hear. Shame burned my chest, but I swallowed it down. I forced my tone to stay calm even as my wolf growled inside me. She was wounded and hurt by Ashley’s behavior as well.

I took in a deep breath. I had no idea how to deal with Ashley’s tantrums but I decided to handle it like an adult.

“Lower your voice,” I said carefully. “Sit down.”

“No!” She began pacing the room, her small feet stomping hard against the floor. “You embarrassed me downstairs! Everyone was staring because of you!”

“Ashley, stop,” I said. “Look at me.”

She stopped suddenly and glared at me. Her eyes were cold in a way that made my breath catch.

“I don’t want you as my mom anymore,” she screamed. “I don’t recognize you!”

My wolf went completely still.

“What did you say?” My voice was so weak. It was barely holding together. “Ashley, what do you mean?”

She crossed her arms tightly. “Tiffany understands me better than you ever will.”

My chest hurt. Physically hurt.

“I am your mother,” I said. “I carried you. I raised you. I love you.”

“Tiffany is better,” she shot back without hesitation. “She’s prettier. She’s kinder. She’s richer. She never disappoints me like you do.”

Every comparison hurt me even deeper.

“Who taught you to talk like this?” I asked. “Who told you these things?”

“Nobody taught me unlike you.” she shouted. “You always tell me what to do! You’re embarrassing!”

My chest tightened. “I am not embarrassing you. I’m your mother.”

She spun toward me. Her eyes burned with so much hatred that I flinched. “I said I don’t want you as my mom anymore, so stop saying you’re my mom!”

“Ashley, you don’t mean that.”

“Yes, I do!” she screamed. “You’re weak! Everyone laughs at you!”

My heart sank.

“But no one laughs at Tiffany. And Tiffany,” Ashley sniffed then continued loudly, “she understands me. She listens. She buys me things. She doesn’t cry all the time like you.”

“I don’t cry all the time.”
