Lucas POV"Your Majesty, the simplest solution is to offer low-interest loans to the affected farmers," Minister Aris suggested with a bright smile. "They can rebuild their lives, and the crown will see a good return on interest by the winter harvest."I glared at him, cocking a brow up to my forehead, but that stupid grin remained on his face. I knew the court was filled with greedy ministers, but to think they were still only after profit at a time like this. "Loans?" I rasped, my throat still raw from my days in a coma. "You want to give loans to farmers whose entire crops were washed down the river? With what collateral shall they secure these loans, Minister? Their drowned cattle?"A few indistinct murmurs spread through the room."We ought to dispatch the royal granaries immediately," I continued, leaning forward and resting my forearms on the wood. "Two hundred sacks of grain, distributed directly without taxes, along with lumber from the crown's reserves. The state will absor

Serene’s POV I slammed my back against the headboard, my hands clutching the sheet to my throat. "Will you stop screeching like a slaughtered goose?” Lucas let out an irritated growl, rolling his eyes as he stepped toward the bed. “You're going to summon the entire palace.”"Don't come any closer,” I yelled, trying to tangle myself deeper into the blanket while trying to kick him away.Lucas lunged forward to grab the corner of the duvet before I could wrap myself. “Sit still, you fool.”I pulled back with all my strength. The sudden resistance threw off his balance, and he tumbled forward onto the mattress. I tried to scramble out of the way, but his arm caught my waist, dragging me down with him. We flipped over the edge of the tall bed and crashed hard onto the rug below."Fuck.” Lucas groaned. I was completely sprawled on top of his chest. I scrambled to push myself up, my cheeks burning with embarrassment as I glared down into his eyes. “What did you do to me?" I demanded, m

Lucas POV My jaw was clenched so tight my teeth ached.The sight before me was absurd. My eyes were locked dead onto Kyros's large hand resting casually on Serene's small shoulder… not to mention the disgustingly cheerful smile spreading across his face."Commander?" Serene echoed, her wide eyes darting to Kyros in shock. She pointed a finger at him, her lips parting in disbelief. "Wait... you are General Kyros? The commander of the Northern Vanguard?""In the flesh, my lady," Kyros chuckled as he tilted his head down toward her. "Though I prefer it when you call me Lord Kyros. It has a much sweeter ring to it coming from you.""I... I didn't mean to be disrespectful!" Serene stammered, her cheeks flushing a bright pink as she took a small step closer to him—closer to his side. "I had no idea you were a general. I thought you were a noble or court minister.” Kyros laughed. "Disrespectful? Nonsense." His emerald eyes were twinkling with amusement. "A lady who knits ruined capes bac

Serene’s POV Head Maid Jane sat behind her cluttered desk, leaning back with her arms crossed as her eyes scanned my new attendant uniform. A poisonous smirk stretched across her face."My, my," she drawled, shaking her head with a distasteful scoff. "You certainly know how to climb the ladder, don't you, Serene? Going from scrubbing the floors to securing a place right back in the King’s bedchambers in less than twelve hours.”She leaned forward, her smirk stretching. “Care to share your secret with the rest of us? The other maids would love to know how you managed to sweet-talk His Majesty."My hands clenched into fists hidden beneath the long sleeves of my clothes. I swallowed down the fury rising in my throat and smiled. "I have no secrets to share, ma’am," I answered curtly. "His Majesty simply issued an order, and I am here to fulfill my duties."Jane rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say, girl. Consider your transfer revoked. Now get out of my office before you contaminate the

Serene’s POV James's voice echoed in my ears as I stared at the body in front of me. “She hasn't opened her eyes since we brought you both back, sire... The physicians say her body is too weak.”"Lucas..." I whispered, reaching out to touch my face and sighing. This was my fault. We shouldn’t have swapped places again; his wolf was perfectly fine, so why did he say it wasn’t? I had so many questions, but no one to answer them. "You have to wake up," I said, taking his hand in mine. "Please... this kingdom needs you. I can't do this without you."No answer came, and I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, taking a deep breath. "I'll protect your throne," I said, staring into his face. "I won't let Victor or anyone else destroy what you've built. I'll hold your place until you come back. I promised."The sound of footsteps approaching made me stiffen, and I turned around. Erstine was standing at the doorway with a tray in her hands She froze the moment her eyes met mine, her fa
