Author's Notes | I already have a Ragnarssons' reaction to their S/O being killed in enemies' hands, so I'll stick to the scene of them being held at knifepoint for the sake of this one, ok? I hope you like the final work!

⁑ Warnings: Violence, mentions to blood, and death. Cursing.
At first, he would try to pretend he wasn't touched, playing a dangerous game, and trying to get her released. But as his game goes awry, he is forced to lay down the ax, at least until his mind can figure out a better way to handle the dire situation.
"If you hurt her, I swear to the gods I won't need a blade to kill you, my man."
The promise of revenge shines in his eyes as he lowers the ax, accepting to be disarmed and held back. His eyes are constantly on hers, measuring the danger, trying to convey any kind of reassurance to her.
But he was ready to react to the mere mention of any harm being done to her, and in his heart, he knows: if she dies, he'll take all the men in that room into Valhalla with him.
"Say what you want. And let her go. She has nothing to do with our business..."
Touching his family is one of the few ways to get him really angry and submissive. Having his heart at knifepoint would be enough to tame the beast inside his heart, and he would accept anything to keep her safe.
But as soon as she's safe for real, may the gods feel pity for the ones who touched her in front of him.
Cause he won't.
"Ok! Fine... I'll do what you want."
Holding his heart is taming his anger. He becomes meek when his eyes find her under the tip of a knife like that. An apology is in his eyes, as he feels he has failed her by allowing her to be caught that way.
Everything about him is focused on nothing but getting her back safely.
"Just tell me what you want and let her go... Please."
If she was caught, the gods are testing his courage. And he will not fail to prove himself worthy of her love, whether by killing every man in that room and bringing her home safely or dying with her and bringing her proudly to Valhalla.
"I'll count to three, and she better be unharmed and free at the end of my count. One..."
