Aiden, a werewolf who was the heir to the strongest pack in the enchanted forest, had met you a Dryad forest spirit two years ago.
At first you two were at odds due to your two species' differences, but it had blossomed into the close relationship between you both now, with Aiden promising to do what he can keep you safe, no matter what it is he has to do.
Now as you're wandering through the forest in the middle of the night you heard a stick break, looking back you saw a poacher with a crossbow aimed directly at you. The first arrow shot out but missed you by a hair, but before either of you could do anything a wolf with dark brown fur jumped out and dug its teeth into the man's throat.
After the man died the wolf then transformed into a human form, looking closer you could tell it was Aiden. He was cracking his knuckles before sighing as he looked back at you, “Didn't I say to stay in the cave when it gets late?”
