Struggling to stand, William felt a throbbing pain emanating from his back, a testament to the power of the wolf's attack. But despite the pain, he rose with fierce determination, every fiber of his being focused on the threat before him.
When the Nightshade King turned his gaze to William, a sly grin formed on the massive wolf's face. "Human, there's a hint of divine blessing on you... Could it be from that Bitch goddess?" he sneered, his voice dripping with condescension.
The disrespect directed at Nyx made William's blood boil. His heart pounded in his chest as a mix of anger and protectiveness overwhelmed him. The blue in his eyes seemed to darken, filled with tempestuous rage. "You should mind what you say, Dog," William growled, barely keeping his emotions in check.
