Violet and Griffin didn't exactly have the time to talk. Not when Oscar, Griffin's Beta, made his appearance and handed her phone to her. Alaric was the one who found it at Asher's place and passed it to him to give to her.
"Where is Alaric now?" Violet asked after several failed attempts to reach her lightning prince. Each of her calls went straight to voicemail.
"The last time he was seen was at the hospital with Asher. No one's spotted him since," Oscar replied.
"My call's not going through either," Griffin said, lowering his phone with a frown.
Just like her, he'd only just gotten his phone back. Griffin had been using an alternative while they were at the East Pack, while Violet had been left with none. And though he had always let her use his whenever she needed it, having her own again felt reliving. As small as it seemed, it reminded her she was still her own person and not just someone's mate, tethered to their convenience.
