Time seemed to slow as Matt lunged at me, his fangs bared, and claws extended. Fear gripped my heart, and every fiber of my being screamed for survival. But just as I braced myself for the deadly attack, a blur of fur and muscle appeared, intercepting Matt in mid-air.
It was Alex, his powerful form meeting Matt halfway with a fierce determination in his eyes. The clash of their bodies echoed through the woods as they fought dangerously, the ground trembling beneath them.
I watched in awe and relief as Alex expertly defended against Matt's vicious assaults. His movements were swift and precise, each strike calculated to block Matt's every move. Despite the danger that surrounded us, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his strength and bravery.
As the battle raged on, I couldn't help but caress my belly and whisper to the little life growing inside me, "Your daddy is protecting us, little one. We're going to be okay."
