## Resource

When a pack of thugs tries to put the squeeze on Laurel and Ford at the abandoned Ironworks, it quickly becomes clear they've underestimated their targets. Ford isn't just a displaced Alpha with raw gold; he's a storm in human form, and the wolf inside him is roaring for blood. As the fight erupts, Ford is forced to unleash a fraction of his true power to protect Laurel, plunging them both into a terrifying confrontation that will redefine everything they thought they knew about each other.
