Accidental Surrogate for Alpha

"What do you mean, you lost my sister?" I demand, baring my fangs at Roger. Sinclair is holding me by the waist, preventing me from lunging at his brother the way my wolf is currently demanding.

Roger held his hands up in defense. "She’s probably back at the palace. We were talking and she got annoyed with me and left."

"Then why didn't you follow her? She is the only human on an entire continent of wolves, and you just let her run off on her own?" I hiss, lashing out with my claws. Sinclair purrs and takes a step back, causing my hands to swipe through nothing but air. "She doesn't know her way around or have any contacts here!"

"You ought to give her more credit. She's a big girl, Ella." Roger tells me, with infuriating confidence. "She’s also known about and been working with shifters a lot longer than you have. She’s used to being the only human in the room."

"How dare you tell me how to feel or think about my sister. She is my sister, not yours. You don't know the first thing about her." I accuse, getting more annoyed by the minute. 'Why I oughta-"

"Alright trouble, why don't we go back to the palace and make sure Cora is home safe. If she isn't we can go out looking, and I'll even let you beat up Roger. How does that sound?" Sinclair suggests, his lips moving against my ear.

"I heard that." Roger informs us, thoroughly exasperated.

"Can I still beat him up, even if she is back at the palace?" I inquire, batting my eyelashes at my mate and ignoring the impudent wolf in front of us.
