Katie led Cole on quietly through the chaotic crowd. The wolf hadn't been paying attention to the effect of his class with the hunter. Humans were afraid of Royals because they were the original werewolves and literally the only ones capable of starting the war back up again. Regardless of how much they'd tried to assure the public that a time like that was well past them, there was still fear because such power still existed.
Seeing a Royal and a hunter fighting wasn't going to put a good image out to the public. It was the perfect depiction of what happened during the war centuries ago and no one was ready for a re-enactment. Now that Cole was calm and no longer in the mood to fight Jeremiah, partly because his mind wouldn't stop staring at the dark-haired girl who still held his hand.
