A ferocious snarl erupted from Alexis' mouth and the four men backed away from him by a few steps. The grey wolf bared his teeth at them and Louis pulled out his sword immediately, the other men following suit as they held out their weapons to protect themselves.
Louis narrowed his eyes, understanding what the man was trying to do here. Though it was understandable why the man had shifted at such a moment, the wise could discern the actual reason behind it. He was not exactly furious or being dominated over by his wolf. This was the ploy he was using to save himself and Louis almost lost his composure on seeing his cunning ways.
Alexis pounced on them after letting out a low growl. But the group was agile and quick and they moved away from him, forcing their swords at the feral animal to keep themselves safe.
