Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 431: Calm A Storm

This was a really awkward situation.

Griffin was still in his beast mode, which meant he had nearly taken up all the space in the backseat. Violet had no choice but to sit on Roman’s lap. Wasn’t this amazing?

It wasn’t surprising that Violet felt something poke her from behind. She glanced over her shoulder.

"It has a mind of its own," Roman said sheepishly.

Violet shook her head in utter disbelief and then turned back around with a chuckle. However, her eyes connected with Asher’s through the rearview mirror, and the laughter died off immediately. Asher looked away, and that felt like a stab to her chest.

Asher was the one driving and had not spoken a word to them. Violet didn’t know how to start a conversation with him. He was mad at her, there was no doubt about that.

Recognizing the tension between them, Roman seized the opportunity to speak up. "Yo, how did you find us?"

Asher adjusted in his seat, relaxing as he explained, "I knew you guys were going to come find me, so I was alert. When I heard the commotion outside, I scaled the walls through the balcony, and the rest is history."

Although Violet had stayed with werewolves for a while now, it still amazed her each time they performed extraordinary feats like that. He climbed down six floors, unharmed. Yeah, totally impressive.

Violet couldn’t wait to be impressive too.

"So you left us with your evil father?" Roman asked, disbelief evident in his voice.

As if in agreement, the beast let out a low snarl at the mention of "evil father."
