Elyse's hands began to shake as she struggled with the internal conflict. Her eyes didn't leave the man, and she didn't hear what he said to her. She barely even noticed Nox's arrival. Suddenly she felt someone grab her arm and pull lightly, trying to remove her from the area. She resisted slightly and barely held back the growl that built in her throat. She had no idea who was pulling her, but her rational brain took control enough to follow, even if her eyes continued to stare at the man - a predator watching its prey.
When he was out of sight, she began to resist the pull again, the wolf trying to take control. Her breath began to hitch for a moment as she reminded herself to breathe. The shallow breaths became deep breaths as she began to center herself. It was then she noticed that Liam had her.
The wolf was retreating and she was regaining control. She felt the pain inside again, but didn't say anything. She no longer resisted Liam, instead she turned to follow wherever he would take her. She looked to the ground, ashamed and embarrassed that she had almost lost control again, barely holding back the tears.
