As Ethan and I grew closer, I began to realize the risks of our relationship. The Blackwood pack did not approve of their alpha being with a mortal, and I knew that I was in danger.
One night, as we were walking through the forest, we were confronted by a group of pack members. They were angry and hostile, and I knew that I had to be careful.
"You're a mortal," one of them sneered.
"You're not worthy of our alpha."
I felt a surge of fear as Ethan stepped forward, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "She is mine," he growled. "And anyone who harms her will answer to me."
