Alpha Xavier
Hunter stood beside me, sharp‐eyed and steady, while the rest of my men waited beyond the door, ready to move the moment I gave the word.
But my mind wasn’t on any of it.
It was on my wife.
The one person that I didn’t want caught in this.
She sat at the far end of the training courtyard, her legs folded beneath her, breathing steady. Trying to suppress fear. Trying to pretend she wasn’t shaken by what happened in her office. Trying to pretend she wasn’t holding something she didn’t understand.
She shouldn’t have to train. She shouldn’t have to fight. I didn’t want her to do so, and yet, knowing her, knowing how stubborn she was, thinking of stopping her was like trying to stop a hurricane.
