He was walking the lonely road back to his den, lost in thought, replaying the conversation with his father in his head. He couldn't believe how close-minded his father was being about Amelia. The fact that she was from a different pack seemed to be the only thing that mattered to him. Ethan knew he had to fight for her, but he didn't know how. As he walked, he saw his father approaching from a distance. His heart sank, and he knew he was in for another confrontation. His father's eyes were piercing as he approached him, and Ethan braced himself for what was to come. His father demanded that he follow him to his den for an immediate discussion. Reluctantly, he complied and accompanied his father to the king's den. As they entered the den, his father wasted no time in confronting him.
