"Bryce, they're not fighting with weapons." She pointed over his shoulder behind him. "Mayhap the damage won't be too much and 'tisn't too late to stop this madness."
"Akira, go back inside," Bryce ordered again.
"We've got to do something! I don't want all of our efforts to be for naught. What about the purpose of our marriage? We're supposed to be uniting the clans, and they're at war in my father's courtyard."
"Akira, I could tend to that duty if I didn't have to worry about yer safety as well." His jaw locked in anger, and his pulse raced through a vein in his muscled neck. "I told ye to get inside where it's safe. I'll do my best to stop this nonsense, but I need to know that ye'll do as I ask."
He arched a black brow in question, waiting for a reply, while his steely eyes burned deep into hers.
Akira nodded. "Aye, Bryce. I'll do as ye ask. Just stop them."
She turned and stomped up the stone steps to the castle entrance. A loud roar nearby caused her to glance over her shoulder as she reached the threshold. A MacKenzie attacked her husband from behind. Akira screamed a warning, but it was too late. Bryce took the brunt of the blow in the back of his head. She started to run to him, but Bryce recovered in time to block the man's next punch. Remembering her promise, she leaned against the doorframe for support, praying for the strength not to intervene. She watched her husband fight until the man finally fell in defeat.
Her father appeared in the midst of the chaos and led Bryce to the stables. They disappeared, and a few minutes later reappeared upon their stallions. Birk took his sword and handed Bryce a sword. The two of them rode through the brawling men as a united front and called their clan members to halt or face charges of disobedience. One by one, the brawling men ceased their actions.
