The King’s Servant, The Alpha’s Queen synopsis
Francesca was born into nobility, but poverty turns her into a bargaining chip. Sold by her own father to King Cassian, she is delivered to the palace like property, destined to live as the king’s servant and plaything. On the night she is taken to him, Francesca makes a desperate choice: she throws herself from a speeding carriage and disappears into the storming forest, willing to risk death for even the smallest chance at freedom.
Half-frozen and hunted by wolves, she follows a strange, warm red thread that appears on her wrist—one that seems to pull her toward something waiting in the darkness. Deep inside a torch-lit cave, Francesca finds the impossible: an iron cage carved with runes… and a man with wild golden eyes.
Wilhelm, the imprisoned prince of the Lycans, has been trapped here for ten years. He claims the Moon Goddess sent Francesca to him—his fated mate—and begs her to set him free. Against reason, Francesca trusts the bond that sparks between them. She breaks the lock, releases him, and in the shelter of the cave they surrender to a passion that feels like destiny itself.
But fate is cruel.
Francesca is dragged back to Cassian’s castle, where her brief taste of freedom becomes a secret she must hide at all costs. Months later, she gives birth to a son, Luka, and Cassian steals the child, declaring him the royal heir. Francesca endures life as a servant, bruises hidden beneath gray sleeves, surviving only because her son is still somewhere within those walls.
The red thread of fate leads Wilhelm back to Francesca. He storms into Cassian’s chambers with the intention to return both her mate and his throne.
Now Francesca is caught between two kings—one who owns her through power and violence, and one who claims her through fate and fire. As Wilhelm moves to reclaim the throne that was stolen from him, Cassian refuses to surrender either his “property” or the boy he calls his heir. And when Luka finally learns the truth about his bloodline, the kingdom teeters on the edge of war.
In a world of royal werewolves, curses, and destiny, Francesca must fight for the only things that matter: her freedom… her mate… and her son.

POV: Francesca
The carriage rattled like it was being chased by death itself, wheels hammering against the rutted forest road, lanterns swinging wildly at the corners. Each jolt sent a fresh wave of nausea through me. I sat on the narrow bench, my gloved hands clenched in my lap, my back straight only because I was afraid that if I bent, I might shatter completely.
The velvet cushions, once a deep royal blue, were worn thin with age. They were finer than anything my family owned now, yet they felt like shackles. Across from me lay a leather-bound chest stamped with the king’s seal, as if to remind me that I had already been claimed.
I wore a plain traveling gown of brown wool, mended so many times that the seams looked like scars. No jewels. No crest. Nothing that marked me as the daughter of a noble house—what little nobility remained to us had been sold piece by piece, until only my name was left. And tonight, even that had been traded away.
My reflection stared back at me from the darkened glass of the carriage window. Pale skin. Hollowed cheeks. Eyes too large for my face, shining with unshed tears. I barely recognized myself.
No one would miss me.
I had been an outcast long before my father decided to sell me. Too quiet and too strange. A she-wolf who never felt her wolf stir properly, who inspired no interest, no alliances, no advantage. In a world where daughters were currency, I had always been a poor investment.
My father’s voice echoed in my head, sharp and cold, as if he were still standing over me in the hall of our crumbling estate.
“Be grateful,” he had said. “The king himself wants you.”
