Williams didn't know whether to curse at Susan now or just wait until later before doing so. He couldn't understand if she was too blind to see that he was also hurt.
"Worry about yourself and your brother's wound," Alvin said gruffly. He was mildly annoyed that he had been distracted enough because of her to get hurt.
He couldn't help his resentment at her penchant for getting herself into trouble.
Williams' gaze moved from his sister to Paulina, who was staring at him, and he could see the fear and worry in her eyes as she looked at his bleeding arm and leg.
He tried to smile at her and assure her that he was fine, but he couldn't, so instead, he returned his attention to Harold like everyone else was doing.
"Although you don't deserve it, I will give you all a chance to turn around and leave. If you don't do so, I will kill every one of you." Harold promised in an authoritative tone, but Ivan scoffed at his words, while the rest of Damian's men looked to Damian for instruction.
Although Harold wanted nothing more than to tear them apart without mercy, he knew that Alicia wouldn't want that, so he was giving them a chance to save themselves, even though he hoped they would stubbornly disobey.
At this point, Ivan was failing to control his emotions, and it was obvious to every one of them how crazy he was acting. It seemed like he was very low on his normal energy and was beginning to depend on his wolf form.
"Do I look like one of the guards that you can order around? Hand me my wife, and I don't care what happens to you or your evil witch," Ivan said harshly, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Why don't you call her that once again," Harold growled as his eyes flashed red with anger, his wolf also itching to take over.
Harold kept trying to stop it, but it seemed his wolf had greater control at this point since Harold was beyond angry right now. Sensing this, Ivan did something he was not supposed to do.
With a loud growl, he shifted into his wolf form and charged at Harold.
That was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Harold was trying to stop his wolf from taking over, even though it was proving difficult, but with the presence of another wolf trying to attack him, and a Beta wolf at that, he lost the battle.
As soon as he caught Ivan's wolf in his hands, he threw him against the straw wall, destroying the place before he effortlessly shifted.
Compared to Harold's wolf form, Ivan was nothing. Most of the werewolf villagers took flight at the sight of Harold's wolf, some screaming as they ran, while the few humans amongst them who knew nothing about their existence and had only come to this part of town for one business or another fainted.
By now, every other side's fighting had stopped. As much as the fight was important, they couldn't dare provoke Harold in his wolf form. Not after what he had done at the palace.
Damian remained where he stood with an idle expression on his face as he watched the brothers fight and waited for them to finish fighting so he could take Alicia with him to the palace as instructed by the queen.
Harvey, on the other hand, looked at Alicia, who was looking as white as a sheet, with concern, knowing that this was going to come as a shock to her since she had no idea that Harold was a werewolf or that she was in a kingdom of werewolves.
Alicia would have thought she was seeing things or that her mind was playing tricks on her if Paulina, who was standing beside her, hadn't fainted from the shock already.
Alicia still didn't move, even as Williams caught Paulina in his arms. She kept her gaze ahead, her mouth dry, and her breathing seized as she took a step back.
Williams exchanged a look with Susan as he took Paulina inside the inn, and Susan could tell Williams wanted her to go inside with him since he didn't trust her enough to stay out of trouble in his absence.
Susan gave him a nod, letting him know she would follow him, but she glanced at Luciana with concern, knowing that this was not going to end well for Prince Ivan. Even though Luciana acted like she no longer cared about Prince Ivan, they all knew she did. The look on her face right now showed it, Susan thought as she followed Williams, and Lance followed them too.
"Your highness! Please spare him!" Luciana cried, knowing that Harold was going to kill Ivan if no one stepped in.
It was no doubt that Ivan's wolf was no match for Harold's, and it was obvious from the countless wounds and scratch marks on Ivan's wolf while Harold was still in perfect shape.
Susan and Lance, who had been following Williams, turned back just as Luciana rushed over to a stunned Alicia as she continued to take several steps back and pleaded desperately, "Please ask him to stop. He's going to kill him!" Luciana cried, but Alicia could neither hear nor see anything else apart from Harold in his wolf form.
Seeing that Alicia was not going to come to her aid, Luciana rushed forward to get between Harold and Ivan just as Harold was about to pounce on him. Seeing the intruder, Harold summoned every ounce of self-control he had in him to halt his attack. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for the blinded Ivan, who hadn't noticed Luciana's presence yet.
With his fangs and claws bared, he tried to attack Harold, and without waiting to see who had gotten in between them, he jumped on her as soon as he turned around, sinking his fangs into her shoulder. He tore part of her skin out and almost tore off her arm with his claws before realizing what had happened.
