Chapter 5

Anastasia

“Stop thinking about it, Ana. You have nothing to worry about. Now, why did you come to look for me?” she asks, and it takes me a minute to remember why.

“I was hoping I could borrow your phone. I need to call my mom,” I say, remembering the reason I came to look for her.

“Oh, no problem, here,” she says, handing me her phone from her back pocket.

I’m surprised she gave it to me without hesitation. I thought she’d ask why I came to her and not the Alpha. I was worried he might’ve told everyone not to give me access to their phones. I guess he’s not as bright as I thought. If he wanted to isolate me from my old pack, he would’ve told everyone not to give me a phone.

“Thank you,” I say, taking it and quickly dialing mom’s number. It rings for a few seconds before she answers.

“Hi, mom, it’s me, Ana. How are you?” I ask.
