When Van was released, he did throw a punch at the guy who'd been holding him, but he was more interested in making Liam bleed after he called him a little fuckboy again. They circled and Liam kept getting hits in, but Van was able to block some of them and get a few of his own.
He was about to close the space between them when he spotted Caitlin pop another were in the jaw. Van blinked in surprise. She was joining the fight and he flashed her a smile, distracted long enough for Liam to get a good punch in, hard enough to bring him to the floor. Van had a spinning view of the circle of onlookers, could see Ewan laying into the guy dumb enough to fight him, and then the wolf who had been holding him stomped deliberately on his hand.
Van cried out in pain, cursing heatedly and tucked the hand against his chest. He wasn't sure if anything had broken, but he didn't have time to check. The were picked Van up off the floor and shoved him back towards Liam. With only one good hand now, Van used it to deflect and shield himself from Liam's punches, trying to stay far enough away from him to not get grabbed.
