Summary
His expression is grim and intense, eyes dark, brow furrowed as he assesses the two of you and stares down the barrels of your revolvers. The crucifixes do not garner so much as a flinch, yet despite his raised chin and glistening claws, there is tension wrought through his massive frame. It is so unlike his normal looming, leering stance, that for just a moment, you are more confused than alarmed.
Then it clicks. You realize with a jolt that, at this distance, he could not possibly reach you before you pulled the trigger.

Summary
"Tell me who hurt you.”
His voice slides out from between bared teeth in a low, threatening growl, hands tightening on your waist, and you are shocked to see him so angry.

There is no lascivious amusement edging his features, no chance that he might break into a grin or make some sly remark that is equal parts frightening and teasing. He looks like he is barely holding himself back from tearing something – not you, but something – to shreds.
Viktor is not angry, he is furious.
