“Have you seen Ashleigh?” he asked one of the young wolves leaving the training grounds.

Granger was stunned. He hadn’t expected this, ever. He reached his hand to his lower lip, still feeling the sting.

“Why?” she asked, breathing heavily. “Why would you lie?”

“You hit me…” he said. He pulled his thumb away from his mouth, surprised to see a spot of blood.
