Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 The Private Bar

SOPHIA’S POV

I was walking to my car when someone called my name. The voice was familiar but unexpected. I turned around and saw Zade leaning against a black Mercedes parked across the street. He was dressed in an expensive suit, looking completely out of place here.

I was shocked to see him.

"Zade? What are you doing here?" I glanced around nervously.

Stone Villa was right behind me. If Damien came back and saw us together, it would only make things worse. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I could ask you the same thing." He pushed off the car and walked toward me. "You look like hell, Sophia. What happened?"

"Nothing. I’m fine." I tried to move past him but he stepped in my way.

"Don’t lie to me. I can see it all over your face. Damien did something." His expression darkened. "What did he do?"

I didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t want to admit how badly I was losing this fight. But something about the way Zade looked at me, the genuine concern in his eyes, made the words spill out.

"He’s replacing me with Tiffany. He’s taking Ashley to her house, spending weekends there. He’s making my daughter comfortable with the idea of another woman as her mother." My voice broke. "And I can’t do anything to stop it."

Zade’s jaw tightened. "Where is he right now?"

"I don’t know. He’s preparing for work. I’m not sure where he is. I saw him drive out."

"Then let’s find him."

Zade pulled out his phone and made a quick call. He spoke in low tones I couldn’t quite hear. When he hung up, he looked at me.

“He’s at Moonlight Bar in his private room."

"How do you know that?"

"I make it my business to know where my enemies are." He opened his car door. "Get in. We’re going there."

"What? No. I can’t just show up at his bar. That’s...."

"We’re going. You need someone with you. Someone he can’t just dismiss or intimidate." Zade’s eyes were hard. "I’m tired of watching him destroy you piece by piece. It’s time someone stood up to him on your behalf."

"But you two are enemies. If you show up there together, it’ll start a war."

"Good. Maybe it’s time for a war." Zade walked around and opened the passenger door for me. "Get in, Sophia."

I stood there for a moment, torn. Every instinct told me this was a bad idea, that going to Damien’s bar with Zade would only make everything worse. But another part of me, the part that was tired of being pushed around and ignored, wanted to fight back.

I got in the car.

Zade drove fast through the city.

Neither of us spoke much. My wolf was anxious. She kept pacing inside me. She knew we were heading into danger. But she was also angry. She was also tired of being treated like we didn’t matter.

Moonlight Bar was downtown. It was Damien’s high-end establishment that catered to wealthy wolves and humans who didn’t know what they were really drinking with.

Zade pulled up to the front entrance and tossed his keys to the valet like he owned the place.

"Come on." He took my arm and led me inside.

The interior was dark and sophisticated. It had low lighting and expensive furniture.

"I didn’t choose to leave. I was driven out by years of neglect and betrayal." I looked at Damien. "By a husband who valued everyone except his wife. Who humiliated me publicly while expecting me to stay silent and grateful."

Simon moved toward me. He had an angry expression on his face.

Zade stepped between us instantly. "Touch her and you’ll regret it."

"You don’t give orders here." Simon’s eyes flashed gold. His wolf was close to the surface.

"Neither do you." Zade’s voice dropped lower. His tone became more dangerous. "You’re a nobody pretending to be an Alpha. You enforce Damien’s will but you have no real power of your own. So sit down before I remind you what real power looks like."

The tension in the room was suffocating. Wolves on both sides were ready to shift. They all looked ready to fight. This could turn bloody very quickly.

I put my hand on Zade’s arm. "Wait. Please." I looked at Damien. "Can we talk? Just the two of us? Please."

Damien stared at me for a long moment. Then he nodded once. "Everyone out."

"Boss-" Simon started.

"Out." Damien ordered.

Simon glared at Zade but left when Damien repeated the command. Zade looked at me with a question in his eyes. I nodded. He could go too.

"I’ll be right outside," Zade said quietly. "If you need me, just call."

He left, closing the door behind him.

Now it was just me and Damien.
