The soldiers were so busy using their magic that they didn't notice Caleb.
"What are you doing?" Caleb growled.
The soldiers whipped their heads back and found their king. His eyes flickered a yellow. His fangs had lengthened and his claws were lengthening. The muscles of his body were bulging as his beast was clamoring to come out. "Seize him!" said their leader. The man had his instructions to capture the king and bring him to the dungeons.
Caleb wasn't shocked. He knew that there were people working against him in Ixoviya. "Who has sent you?" he asked in a beastly voice.
"That is none of your concern," said one of the soldiers who attacked him first with his sword. The moment he lunged himself at the king, Caleb held his wrist in the air and grabbed his neck with his claws. He dug his claws in his neck and squeezed it. Blood spurted out of his mouth and nose and the next moment his head fell on the ground with a thud and rolled away.
