Faye stepped away to a quiet corner to answer a phone call.
It was Malone Griffin.
"Hey, buddy. What's up?" Faye answered. She leaned her back against the painted wall, trying to keep her voice down so none of the passing people would hear her.
"You!!!"
A loud roar blasted through the phone. The sound was so sharp and intense that Faye had to pull the device away from her ear, her eardrum ringing from the volume.
"How dare you send your Hulk of a Beta to babysit me?" Malo yelled. He was breathing heavily on the other end, his voice cracking with pure irritation.
Faye sighed in disappointment. She rubbed her forehead with her free hand, her shoulders slumping down as she let out a long, frustrated huff through her nose.
He wasn't supposed to find out about Peamah.
"I told him not to let you know. He was just supposed to stay in the background and watch over you," Faye said.
