Alpha Zane’s Surrogate
I said, voice steady now, sharper than steel, “wants to move the motion to unseat Zane?”

Not a breath.
Not a shift.

I smiled faintly.

It was warning.
“Then you should be very afraid of what I can control.”
A few elders shifted uneasily.
Nikolas finally stepped beside me again, but this time, he didn’t position himself in front of me.
