Accidental Surrogate for Alpha
Sinclair takes another step forward, clearly ready to either tear Xander to pieces or take him into custody – I honestly don’t know which –
Xander – an old, wrinkled man with cruelty in every line of his face - just smirks up at Sinclair, not moving an inch.
But the Atalaxian speaker – a high-ranking senator himself – steps forward then, interceding. “Alpha Sinclair,” he says, his word heavy with the acknowledgement that my mate is not yet King, “Duke Xander is a protected member of our delegation – an Ambassador. If you harm him or take him into custody, it will be considered an act of war.”
