“Hi, baby,” Granger smiled at Ashleigh as she stepped out of the trees.
Ashleigh stopped, surprised and immediately on guard.
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
“What do you mean?” Granger replied, “I came here looking for you, babe.”
He took a step towards her; she took a step back.
Granger stopped. He clenched his jaw and looked at her with a severe expression.
“Are you scared of me?” he asked.
“Are you surprised?” she replied.
Granger sighed, “I told you I was sorry.”
“I told you it wasn’t enough.”
He took another step towards her.
“I already warned you before, Granger,” she growled. “I won’t let you touch me again.”
“Ash,” he said. His tone was calm yet eerie. “I’m your mate. We need to get past this.”
“How did you even know how to find me?”
Ashleigh knew her mother would never have told him where she was, especially not after knowing what he had done.
