Wait just a fucking moment!"
Billy's screaming voice should be heard by all in the market area, drawing the attention to himself from the standing bystanders curious to know what have bother the prestige son of a wealthy family like him.
Billy's furious manner looks to Mr. Cutter.
" Is there a problem?" The stern looking man glances back at Billy.
Standing on the other end of the stall, Billy rises his voice again yelling to the butcher.
" Yes there is a problem, first of all how can you announce the human as the winner, she is a girl?"
Lora points out the loop hole in the game, telling the pompous man that Mr. Cutter never stated that the game was for males only.
" She is right, my daughter Rivera is beautiful enough to draw the attention of woman as well."
Hearing the butcher statement, Billy is having none of his bullshit. He shouted in a most louder voice.
" Even if you say that, she is just a filthy human. She doesn't belong here."
Billy looks at Lora with disgust in his eyes. Rivera for the first time stands up to speak. She draw Billy's attention by calling out his name in a very serious manner.
" Billy, I would advise you not to speck to my friend like that.
Billy replied to the pale skin girl looking at him angrily.
" Friend," he looks shock by his love's words.
" How can you consider such a creature as a friend. Rivera, someone like can do better than to trust this human."
Billy words have stroke a nerve inside Lora.
" What is you problem with me!?" Lora yelled at the man.
" My problem is that you are not one of us, you vile creature."
Billy's disgust for Lora grow more and more as he continue to speck is mind.
20 years ago, human came to our home with the intention to steal the power from our land. A blood war came after. The island process a great mysterious power that the human wanted to get their hand on.
This is what cause the war on the island the 20 years ago leading to the destruction of the southern village. Causing the lives of thousands of innocent wolves when the human hunted them down like animal.
Billy explains all that Lora.
" The humans 20 years did all that, not me," said Lora.
" It doesn't matter, all your kind are the same," Billy replied makes the girl stumble with her expression.
Ever since that war the wolves vow to never trust a human ever again. And yet here is a human living in their village for almost 18 years.
Getting entangled with their culture and way of life. It is a disrespect to all who fight and fell in the war to drive the humans out.
Billy even go so far to bet that the human probably send Lora to the island as a baby to act as a spy. And when the time is right, that is when she will strike. Lora placing her hand on her chest.
" I would never do such a thing," she spoke vigorously.
" Like we would take a human words."
Billy argument rallied up the people and those who also have a dislike of human start speaking their mind on the matter as well.
With one person stating that his son fought and die in the war with the human. Some lost their fathers, others lost brothers, families, friends, homes. Billy himself have also lost someone close him in the war.
It's been 20 years but the memories of those who lived through that war are still fresh in their minds. An event that they will never forget.
The nightmare of watching their kin hunted down and kill. It is too much of them.
Luka who was listening to all this force himself through the crowd to aid his sister. Approaching Billy, Luka frustratingly push him with all his force.
Making the proud looking man to nearly trip over his feet.
Billy a little angry by the boy's action. Billy standing firm.
" Stop saying all those nonsense about my sister!"
Luka stands firm to protect his sister. Rivera also stands in front of Lora to defend her as well.
" That is enough Billy, please leave," said Rivera.
" Leave, this so my home, the one who should leave is the human. She is just an outside that doesn't belong here. "
Luka steps close to look the insolent man dead in his slug face.
" And who gave you the right to make that decision?" asks Luka.
" Not your father of course since he is stupid enough to get bewitched by the human. After all, it was the human who killed his first son during the war."
That was the last straw, Billy words have gone too far and Luka out of rage for Billy, disrespecting his father like that.
Growl angrily and was about to attack. Quickly holding back the boy clothes, Lora manage to stop her younger brother from making a bigger scene than is what is happening now.
Mr Cutter call out to Billy telling him that he have done enough. Billy asking Mr Cutter if he is sure he wants to defend this human now with all this people watching.
If they see that he is helping the human his business could take a nose drive.
Mr. Cutter realize that Billy is right after seeing all his customers' expression.
And Lora seeing this as well decided to take her leave so not to cause anymore problem for her friend's father.
Rivera and Luka tried to stop her and Billy watching the human leaving smiles with satisfaction as the villagers chanted together at Lora to just leave their village already because she doesn't belong here.
Suddenly someone ask Billy a question about the leather that he brought in. It was Ottar who was examining the leather skin that Billy have hunted.
Everyone seeing the dark skin black hair boy recognize that he is from the eastern village. Billy yells at Ottar not to go touching his leather skin because that is an offering meant for Rivera.
Ottar once again asks Billy If he really hunted down a great crocodile to get this leather.
Billy high and mighty boasted again about his hunt.
" Are you impressed?" he asks smugly.
Ottar smile at him.
" I would.... if I was trying to con someone," Ottar said.
" What did you just say?!" Billy shouted angrily at Ottar comment.
" It is like I said, this skin is fake."
Ottar explains that the skin is already refine and process. He can tell because of the chemical use to refine animal skin that Ottar smell coming from it.
Meaning that he just probably bought it from a merchant shop.
Mr. Cutter is a little confused since he evaluate it, but didn't pick up the scent.
Ottar explain to the man that Billy must have run the skin through dirt, mud and other nasty things like shit and pee and let it soak for a couple of days before washing it to try and hide the scent.
Hearing all that Rivera is disgusted that Billy was going to give her something like that. Billy quickly tries to defend himself.
" Hold on, he is probably lying, I hunted down this leather by myself just today," said Billy.
Ottar then held out a cloth with a symbol on it. Mr Cutter, Rivera and even Billy recognizes the symbol to belong to the best refining and processing business on the island that Ottar family runs.
So his assumption have weight on them.
With a tense looks, Ottar looks down on Billy.
" Not only did you laid about your hunt, but was so confident in it, just for the truth to be reveal."
Ottar continue to talk down to Billy reprehending him to have the balls to call himself a wolf. Wolves are proud and honest being, strong and noble.
" You are a disagree to the title of a warrior and as a wolf."
All the bystanders gossips shift over to Billy. Billy feeling ashame transforms into his wolf form out of anger as he gets ready to attack Ottar for talking to him like.
Ottar then transform into his wolf as well. Seeing such a majesty looking creature with a tight black coat and Rudy red piercing eyes. But what is more impressive is his size, that towers over Billy.
Billy is struck with a strong pressure, paralyzing him on spot. Billy could feel the power of a true alpha.
He shamefully realizes that he have no hope in beating Ottar.
Defeated in so many ways, Billy have no choice but to retreat from the scene. Ottar.... returns back to his human form he looks over to the two girls.
