Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 An Enemy Of Me

SOPHIA’S POV

I stared at Zade with shock. What?

What did he mean by that?

My wolf was alert now. I had so much confusion in my head. Zade was about to say something else until a voice interrupted us.

"Sophia!" "Get out of that car now!"

I looked up and saw my brother standing at the gate of Sky Manor. His face twisted with anger. His wolf was right at the surface - I could see it in the way his eyes glowed in the darkness.

"We’re not done talking." Zade said, grabbing my arm.

"Yes, we are," I said, pulling my arm free and reaching for the door handle but the locks were engaged. "Let me out, Zade."

"Sophia-"

"Let her out!" Marco roared.

Even though Zade was an alpha, Marco’s protective rage made his command powerful enough that Zade’s driver automatically hit the unlock button.

I scrambled out of the car and practically ran to my brother. Behind me, I heard Zade’s car door open.

"This isn’t over," Zade called out. "We will talk about this, Sophia, about us."

What the hell was he talking about? I felt even more confused.

"There is no us!" I shouted back, but Marco had already grabbed my arm and was pulling me through the gate.

The moment we were inside the house, Marco faced me with anger in his eyes.

"What the hell was that?" he demanded. "First, I hear you’re running around with some doctor, then I see you getting pulled into another man’s car! Are you out of your mind?"

The accusation hurt me worse than I expected. "It’s not what it looked like-"

"Not what it looked like?" Marco shrieked. "You were in Zade Morrison’s car, Sophia. Zade Morrison. Do you have any idea what people are going to say when they find out?"

"I didn’t ask to be pulled into his car! He grabbed me!"

"And the doctor? What’s your excuse for him?"

My throat tightened. "Lance is my friend. That’s all."

"You’re still married, Sophia, still mated to Damien, even if he’s a worthless piece of-"

"I know what I am!" The words exploded out of me. Marco’s words made my blood boil with anger "I know I’m trapped in a marriage to a man who doesn’t want me! I know everyone in this pack thinks I’m pathetic and desperate and-"

My voice broke. I couldn’t finish.

Marco’s anger seemed to fade slightly. He ran a hand through his hair.

"I’m not trying to hurt you," he said quietly. "I’m trying to protect you. If people see you with other men while you’re still wearing Damien’s mark..." He gestured to my neck, where Damien’s mating mark had faded to barely visible but still existed. "It makes you look bad. It makes our family look bad."

"I don’t care," I whispered. "I don’t care what people think anymore."

"Well you should," Marco said firmly. "Because in our world, reputation is everything. And right now, you’re giving people ammunition to destroy yours."

I wanted to argue, wanted to scream that it wasn’t fair, that I was the one being hurt, that I should be allowed to have friends without being accused of infidelity. But I was so tired. I was tired of fighting, tired of defending myself, tired of everything.

"Fine," I said flatly. "I’ll be more careful"

Marco studied my face for a long moment, then sighed. "Sophia? Stay away from Zade Morrison. That man is dangerous in ways you don’t understand."

I nodded and walked past him into the house. My whole body felt heavy and bruised even though no one had laid a hand on me.

The next morning, I went to work early, hoping to lose myself some activities but the moment I walked into the hospital, I knew something was wrong.

The other nurses were whispering. Dr. Nancy looked at me with pity in her eyes. And when I checked my messages, I found three missed calls from Lance.
