Added DiffLines:

** In the book, Gabriel starts out as just another member of the pack, albeit favoured to take over as Alpha after Vivian's father died due to his charisma, strength and hard work in trying to regain the pack's financial security. He also reveals to Vivian [[spoiler:he was once in love with a human girl, but it went horribly wrong when he lost control and accidentally killed her]], which still haunts him. In the movie, this is changed to Gabriel having been the Alpha for many years (instead of Vivian's father) and the part about [[spoiler:his tragic romance]] is removed entirely.


Added DiffLines:

** Aiden's father is much worse than he is in the book. In the novel, Aiden's dad is a jerk who doesn't really understand his son, forces Aiden to go hunting with him and makes some sleazy comments towards Vivian, but he's otherwise harmless, with neither Aiden or Vivian taking him seriously. Here, Aiden mentions that his father was physically abusive towards him - to the point Aiden eventually fought back in self-defence - and tried to force a military-style survivalist lifestyle on him.

* SexWithTheEx: Although pack tradition dictates that the Alpha must find a new mate every seven years, Gabriel still meets Astrid for sex occasionally. This disgusts Vivian and is one the reasons she dislikes him, especially as Astrid is clearly still in love with Gabriel. He's also trying to court Astrid's niece at the same time.

* NeverMyFault: Aiden learns Vivian is a werewolf after Rafe comes after him for daring to date her; Aiden angrily confronts Vivian about her endangering him by dragging him into her world and says he wants her to stay away from him. However, earlier in the movie Aiden was actually the one actively pursuing Vivian and trying to talk her into dating him, even when she told him repeatedly she wasn't interested and/or that it was a bad idea, until she finally gave in.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalRomanceDowngrade: One of many things changed from the book is the romantic relationships.
** In the book, Gabriel is sincerely in love with Vivian and it's heavily implied that beneath her hostility towards him, she's [[BelligerentSexualTension attracted to him too]]. [[spoiler:Vivian eventually returns Gabriel's feelings and becomes his mate, after her romance with Aiden ends disastrously]]. In the film, Gabriel merely lusts after Vivian and she despises him, [[spoiler:culminating in her killing him to protect Aiden (a far cry from the book, where she [[TakingTheBullet takes a silver bullet]] to protect Gabriel from ''Aiden'')]].
** Rafe and Astrid become lovers in the book, though the relationship is based more on lust than love. They're not lovers in the film, which is just as well given that Rafe is depicted as Astrid's ''son'' here.

* MagicPants: The werewolves transform along with their clothes. This is just one of many things changed from the book, in which it was made a point that werewolves had to remove their clothes before changing (either because they'll get ruined or because of the risk of being seen as a wolf in human's clothing).

** Gabriel is 24 in the book, where here he appears to be in his thirties at least (Olivier Martinez was actually about 40). Obviously, this and the fact he's the father of her cousin makes his romantic interest in her a lot less healthy and sympathetic.
