Blue and his group stopped just next to our allied forces. With Aisha and the rest, we ford sothing like a very small and tight circle around the device.
Then he stepped out. He was focused, very serious.
- I heard there was a fight between our n - he turned to Hatta. - I would like to know the details.
- We also would like to know the details - replied Hatta. - Does anybody can tell tho started this?
- It started over a spilled drink. Your guys were just eager to turn this into a fistfight. They demolish my club. I want repaynt for that.
- I heard one of my n died. Is that true? - Blue kept asking like he didn't hear Aisha's demand.
- We stopped the fight, but so of your n just wouldn't back down. They attacked us, and I killed one of them - said Nobuo.
He was surprisingly calm, with one hand on the handle of his katana.
- Who was the one to spill that drink? - Blue turned to Aisha.
- One of your guys. At least that what I've been told.
I was unsure if she was lying, or not. She definitely could be. Probably only those who witnessed it with their bere eyes could tell, but nobody shouted anything. Nobody tried to deny her words.
Blue looked down, on his feet, thinking. It took a mont. A mont of complete silence. Sothing unbelievable. It made realize that this guy, right then, was the most important person in the whole city. He had the respect of everybody around.
- Very well. - He spoke, as he looked up, facing Hatta again. - We will pay for the healing of your n, as well as the damages to Velvet Lotus. I can only hope that sothing like this never happens again.
Aisha's face told that wasn't enough for her. She was about to say sothing, but she wasn't just fast enough.
- What?! - Williams yelled. - We lost one of ours, and you are backing down again?! I'm done with you! I'm done with your pointless plans! You used to be a great leader. Brilliant, caring for you soldiers, but not anymore. You are no longer a leader. You are a joke. You are not alfa. You won't be leading our pack anymore.
Blue turned slowly to face him. I saw those slight changes in his deanor, that indicated he was furious. The white knuckles, and lips pursed in a narrow line. Frowned eyebrows.
- You dare to betray ? - he drawled through his teeth.
- Yes. And I'm taking those who had enough of your weakness with .
- You are not taking anything from . I've gathered those n. I've given them strength.
Willims turned around, to face the hunters.
- Brave soldiers! Hunters! You who risk your lives every day! You who this city belongs to! Co with , and I'll give you what's yours. And you weaklings, who agree with him, who wants to bow down to others, you can go.
- We should give them space - Will whispered, looking at .
I nodded. Hatta whispered few orders, and all of the allied forces quietly gave ground to werewolves. Seeing what we do, the rest also stapped back.
There was a mont of hesitation within Blue's n, but eventually, one person split from the group and stood behind him. More followed, but Williams still got plenty. More than a half.
They stared down at each other. None of them willing to back down.
- I made you, and you are betraying ? ?!
- Once you were a great leader I was willing to follow, but you changed. Now you are just a coward. Go bow down. Go, and lick their shoes. Go! I'm willing to fight for what's mine.
- You are stupid Stephen. You can only see what's in front of you, and not what lies ahead. We have a bigger mission to accomplish than just this - he wawed his hand around. - Cant you see? This is just a big piece of rubble, while out there are full, beautiful cities. And you want to settle for just this?
- Leave your empty words for yourself. I'm taking those n with . We are done with you.
- You will be done with when I say so.
- I said I'm done, and I am. What are you gonna do? Stop ? You are a weakling, and your forces are smaller. Be happy that we just let you go with those cowards of yours.
- I said you will be done when I say so! - he yelled, and transford into a beast.
His bones started cracking like they were breaking. His back bulked up, as he curled up, fighting the pain. He growled, and his clothes shattered, ripped by rapidly growing body.
And then he stood up. A towering half-wolf, half-man build of tangled muscles. He had beautiful, snow-white fur.
Williams did the sa the very mont Blue underwent his transformation. His leather armor gave up under imnse pressure of the beast's body. The belt with sword fixed to it fell down. He was even bigger. Towering over his forr leader by a whole head. Black just like the night.
- I need popcorn - mumbled Will, bringing a smile to my face.
- We need to make sure to not get involved in this - said Hatta.
- It's not our business - Nobuo agreed.
- Yeah, let's allow them to kill one another - said Boris.
We have up more space, as two werewolves starred each other down. There was a visible tension among their n. Forr comrades, now facing each other. With a full-on battle hanging on a single thread. They knew it might happen just like the rest of us.
Blue growled at Williams and moved to the side. Stephen did the sa, and they made a full circle eyeing each other. Paying attention to the move of every muscle. Anything that would indicate a possibility of attack. There was a mont when I thought one of them will back down.
I was wrong, as Blue suddenly leaped at Williams.
