Now she seemed to remain brave, he respected that. She was strong. His grin only grew wider, he was fully prepared to use every last trick he had to stomp her into the ground. That grin faltered as fury flashed in his eyes, the gleaming white fangs being hid. Now, only his eyes seemed to be smiling, looking down on her with the aura of a King.
