Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Chasing Other Man

SOPHIA’S POV

Simon’s face lit up like he’d just won the lottery. He practically skipped over to our table.

"Look who it is," he said loudly, making sure everyone in the small restaurant could hear. "The good doctor and his new girlfriend. How sweet."

I felt Lance tense beside me, but he didn’t let go of my hand.

"We’re just having dinner, Simon," I said tiredly. "Leave us alone."

"Just dinner?" Simon laughed, pulling out a chair and sitting down uninvited. "That’s not what it looked like earlier. First the apartment, now here. You two sure spend a lot of time together for people who are ’just friends.’"

My wolf snarled in my chest, wanting to tear into him. I could feel her pushing against my control.

"What Sophia does with her time is none of your business," Lance said calmly, though I could smell the anger on him. His wolf was close to the surface too.

Simon leaned back in his chair, looking between us with that smug expression. "Oh, but it is my business. See, Sophia is still married to my best friend, and here she is, gallivanting around town with another man while her husband is right there." He gestured toward where Damien sat with Tiffany.

"Her husband who brought his mistress to the same restaurant," Lance pointed out. "Seems like a double standard to me."

"Tiffany isn’t a mistress," Simon snapped. "She’s a family friend. She helps take care of Ashley. Unlike some people who abandon their children to chase after other men."

The words hit like claws slashing across my heart. My wolf howled in pain and rage.

"I have never abandoned my daughter," I said. "And you have no right-"

"I have every right," Simon cut me off. "I’m protecting my friend’s interests and his interests include making sure his wife doesn’t embarrass him by sleeping around."

"I’m not sleeping with anyone!" The words came out loud. Several other diners turned to look at us.

"Then why are you always with him?" Simon jerked his chin toward Lance. "Why was he at your apartment? Why are you holding hands in public? What kind of married woman acts like this?"

Lance stood up. I could see gold flashing in his eyes as his wolf demanded to be let out.

"The kind who’s being neglected and disrespected by her mate," Lance said coldly. "Sophia has every right to choose who she spends time with. Especially when her husband is too busy playing house with his girlfriend to notice his own wife exists."

Simon stood too. The dominance radiating off him made me shiver a bit. He was an alpha’s beta, used to making other wolves submit.

"Careful, doctor," Simon said "You’re already unemployed, scrambling to study for exams, trying to claw your way back into a career. It would be a shame if certain people in the medical community heard about your... questionable character”

Oh goddess..

I looked at Simon in disbelief. He was threatening Lance?

Lance didn’t back down "Do what you want, Simon. My conscience is clear. I haven’t done anything wrong."

"Maybe not," Simon said with a cruel smile. "But perception is everything, isn’t it? One word from Damien to the right people, and you’ll never work as a doctor again. Not in this city. Not anywhere."

My wolf was snarling now.

How dare he threaten Lance like this?

I grabbed Lance’s arm and stood up.

"Enough," I said "You’ve made your point, Simon. You’re a loyal dog who does whatever his master tells him. Congratulations."

Simon’s eyes flashed gold. "Watch your mouth-"

"No, you watch yours," I snapped. "I’m done listening to you insult me and threaten my friends."

I turned to look at Damien. He was watching us now, Tiffany still clinging to his arm.

"Your beta is harassing me," I called out across the restaurant. "Are you going to do anything about it?”

Damien’s expression was still blank. His eyes narrowed slightly, and I saw his wolf flash behind his eyes for just a second.

"Simon," he said quietly but his voice was filled with alpha command. "Enough."
