Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Dont You Judge
SOPHIA’S POV
I stood there in my tiny apartnt.
Damien and Simon had broken into my ho. Lance was standing beside
in nothing but a towel. This whole situation had spiraled completely out of control.
Simon was staring at
like I’d committed the worst cri in the world. His expression was full of disgust and judgnt. It made my wolf snarl inside .
Who was he to judge ?
"You’re unbelievable," Simon said, shaking his head. "You’re standing here defending this man while your husband is right in front of you. While your daughter is at ho waiting for her mother. How can you live with yourself?"
Sothing inside
snapped. My wolf pushed forward, lending
strength.
“How can I live with myself? How can you live with yourself, Simon?"
"What’s that supposed to an?"
"It ans you’re standing here acting morally superior when you’ve been helping Damien destroy lives for years." My voice rose. "You helped him cover up his affairs. You lied to
about where he was and who he was with. You destroyed Lance’s career."
"I was protecting the pack, Protecting your marriage."
"By sabotaging Lance’s job? You weren’t protecting anything. You were controlling , just like Damien controls everyone around him."
Simon’s jaw clenched. "You were getting too close to him." He pointed at Lance. "You were putting yourself in a compromising position. I had to step in."
"No, you didn’t. What I do and who I spend ti with is none of your business. It’s none of Damien’s business either. We’re separated. I don’t owe either of you explanations about my life."
Tears burned in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.
“I gave everything to Damien. Everything. I gave up my career that I loved. My dreams got pushed aside for his ambitions. I stood by him through scandals and affairs and public humiliation. And you know what I got in return?"
Simon didn’t answer. Neither did Damien.
"I got coldness. I got betrayal. So don’t you dare stand in my apartnt and judge ."
The silence that followed was heavy.
Finally, Damien stepped forward. "Enough. This isn’t getting us anywhere."
"You’re right. It’s not." I crossed my arms. "So leave, both of you. Get out of my apartnt."
"We need to talk privately." Damien’s eyes moved to Lance. "Without him here."
"No. I have nothing to say to you."
"Sophia, be reasonable."
"I am being reasonable. You’re the ones who broke into my ho." My wolf was still growling. She was still ready to fight if necessary. "If anyone’s being unreasonable, it’s you."
Damien opened his mouth to respond when there was a knock on the door. Everyone froze. The door was still open from when Damien had broken the chain. A figure appeared in the doorway.
Zade Harrington.
My stomach dropped. What was he doing here?
How did he even know where I lived?
Zade looked around the apartnt, taking in the scene.
"Well, isn’t this cozy?" Zade stepped inside without invitation. "Damien. Simon. I see you’re harassing Sophia in her own ho. How very Alpha of you."
"What are you doing here?" Damien’s voice was ice.
His wolf was visible in his eyes, recognizing a rival Alpha.
"I ca to check on Sophia. She called
for help yesterday. I wanted to make sure she was alright."
Zade moved to stand beside . His presence was overwhelming. His Alpha energy pushed against Damien’s.
“Good thing I did. Looks like she needs protection from her own husband."
"She doesn’t need protection from . I’m here to talk to my wife."
"Your wife who clearly doesn’t want to talk to you” Zade’s smile was cold. "This is harassnt, Damien."
Simon stepped forward. "You have no right to be here either. This is pack business."
"Is it? Because from where I’m standing, this looks like bullying. Two grown n intimidating a woman in her ho." Zade looked at Simon with a smirk. "Though I suppose that’s your specialty, isn’t it, Simon? Doing Damien’s dirty work."
"Watch your mouth."
"Or what?”
Simon’s face went red "You arrogant piece of-"
"Careful. Sophia’s watching." Zade’s tone was teasing.
I didn’t know what to say. Part of
wanted Zade gone. He was making everything worse. But another part was grateful for his presence, for soone powerful enough to stand up to Damien without fear.
Zade walked closer Damien. "So here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to walk out that door and not co back unless Sophia invites you which I doubt she will."
Damien narrowed his eyes "How dare you? You don’t give
orders."
"No, but she did. I heard when she told you to leave." Zade stepped closer to Damien. I could feel the Alpha waves coming from him. “Leave now or I’ll make you l...and I promise you won’t like my thods."
