Hawkeye felt something tighten in her chest. She was suppressing the panic she felt, but it was starting to get difficult to breathe. Even though he'd denied wanting to take the woman with pups as a mate, the dark female still didn't feel right. Was my decision to speak up too rash?

Smirking, Hawkeye wasn't sure if that was a good start to showing him she could be an Alpha, but what was an Alpha without humor some of the time?
