Chapter 390: Creatures Of Myth

"Just got off the call with Irene," Alaric reported as he returned to Asher. "She’s contacting her people and raising awareness."

"We don’t have the time for that," Asher replied, a deep frown etched into his face. "Irene’s far enough as it is. Violet doesn’t have that much time. Perhaps it’s some small comfort that they took Griffin along, but we don’t know the situation at hand, and Griffin can’t fend off everyone unless—"

"Unless what?" Alaric asked, studying his face.

Asher tilted his head, implying the answer without saying it. But Alaric understood.

"The Beast," he whispered.

"With the Beast, they have a better chance of surviving," Asher said, his jaw tight. "But the Beast is unreliable. And as much as I trust Violet’s life with Griffin, the same can’t be said with the Beast. I’ll kill him with my bare hands if he lays a hand on her."

"The Beast and Griffin might be different beings," Adele added, "but they share the same psychology. Somewhere in there, Griffin might be able to reach him, and might be able to stop him from harming her."

"Let’s hope so," Asher said tautly, his mind clearly made up.

"Any progress?" Alaric asked, turning to Roman, who was in his wolf form, spinning in agitated circles at the T-junction a few miles from Asher’s property.

With his deep connection to his animal side, Roman was the best tracker among them all. But right now, something was off. His snout twitched erratically, confused and frustrated.

"I don’t like the look of this," Asher muttered, just as Roman shifted back into his human form.

"They did something to throw off the scent," Roman said, voice taut with frustration. "I can’t track anything beyond this perimeter."

"Wouldn’t surprise me. They managed to kidnap a cardinal alpha, masking their scent wouldn’t be a stretch."

Roman let out a strangled groan. This was his way of helping Violet and yet, now, he was useless.

He stormed off the road, heading toward the closest tree, and then began punching it, throwing all his rage into every blow.

"Oh great," Asher deadpanned. "The team’s officially losing it."

Alaric quickly went after him. "Hey! Stop it!"

"No, leave me! I’m practically useless!"
