422 shooting unexpectedly

[Margaret's Perspective]

'Boom! Boom!'

Two bullets skimmed past Donald's lower back, and I saw him pause mid-swing, growling from his throat, but he didn't stop his attack on Henry.

I glanced towards the source of the bullets and noticed Martha holding a gun, her gaze cold as she watched Donald's figure. No doubt, she was the one who had fired those shots!

"Has no one ever taught Princess Lington that outsiders aren't supposed to interfere when two Lycans are dueling? Shooting from behind someone's back is truly a disgraceful act!" I said, lifting my gun towards Martha, my voice icy.

Martha, of course, heard my words. She sneered, continuing to pull the trigger while mocking, "If someone else had said that, I might have listened, but coming from you... doesn't it sound ironic?"

Almost simultaneously, Martha fired another shot at Donald who was in the fray, and I also pulled my pistol's trigger. The bullet tore through the air and hit her right hand that was holding the gun!
