Chapter 140

Vanessa entwined her fingers together on the table as she explained, “Ministerial positions had only ever

been held by Lycans, which I dare say is the main reason behind the neglect of the welfare of our cousin

species. Some Lycan children don’t even know what wolves are. Most Lycans shun at the thought of

having to share the room with one. I’d love to say that the government is by far the most liberal and

welcoming body when it comes to our cousin species, but the events from the last two weeks have

shown otherwise.”

“Although there have been notable improvements in how we treat them over the decades and recent

years, I must say that it is far from enough. And as much as I acknowledge the Queen’s presence, I’m of

the humble opinion that one wolf alone will not enable us to meet the needs of our cousin species as

quickly a sit could be with more wolves guiding us. What I’m recommending is representation. We need

wolves among us in govemance, to help us see what we have clearly failed to see in our time here.

Welfare, technology, education, law, environment. Everything.”

“Damn, that was good.” Christian muttered under his breath, which Lucianne easily caught since he was

seated next to her.

Up until Vanessa spoke, Lucianne didn’t know that there were Lycans, other than Christian and Xandar,

who saw the need to include wolves in decisions that affected the Kingdom. Vanessa’s recommendation

made Lucianne feel that her species were more looked after than she once thought.

Xandar smiled radiantly as he thanked her and moved on to Pamela, the Minister of Justice, a bob-

haired blonde.

“Your Highnesses, Your Graces. I am also of the view that replacements must be found. If temporary,

then we should appoint creatures who have proven to be capable, trustworthy and reliable, regardless of

1. If permanent, I stand by my decision from the previous meetings when this issue was put to a vote:

the election should include our cousin species because if the wolves are expected to obey the laws

of a minister, then they should have a say in appointing that minister.”

Lucianne blinked in surprise. This matter was put to a vote before? And here she thought the Lycans

couldn’t care less who the wolves wanted as their minister. Xandar caught his mate’s reaction, and he

instinctively reached for her hand on her lap, entwined his fingers with hers before placing their hands o

n his lap as he nodded and thanked Pamela with the same smile and prompted the next minister to

proceed.

The Minister of Youth was Cora, an elderly woman with grey hair. She adjusted her cat eye glasses

before speaking through her crimson lips, “I, too, recommend that we seek out suitable replacements

while we wait for our colleagues to clear the charges made against them. However, I do not agree with

my learned ministers who spoke before me that appointing wolves is the right step forward.”

Lucianne’s thumb started stroking Xandar’s stiffened hand to calm his animal as the minister continued,”

I say this with no disrespect, my Queen, but our species is known to be superior. We know what we’re

doing. We know what’s best for our species and yours. There’s no need for more wolves in this room. In

fact, there’s no need for any wolves in this room at all! You will be a Lycan if and when you’re marked by

our King, hence I am not questioning your presence here today. That is my recommendation: temporary

replacements, but only Lycans.”

Before Xandar could say a word, Lucianne spoke calmly, “Thank you, Cora.”

Alivia didn’t seem to notice, and genuinely thought that Xandar was complimenting her efforts. A wide

smile spread across her face as she said, “I’m elated that my efforts are being recognized, my King.”

Weaver snorted in amusement before disguising his stream of chuckles as a stream of coughs.

Yarrington shook his head at his mate but he himself was smiling because, like his mate, he was well-

aware of what was going on.

After Weaver had gotten a hold of himself and tried not to think about the scene he just witnessed that

made him laugh, he accepted the glass of water from his mate before apologizing to everyone, throwing

a subtle, knowing smirk in Lucianne and Xandar’s way when everyone else’s eyes moved on to the

minister next to Alivia.

Riven, Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, was as young as Alivia. He inherited his position from his

mother after she passed from an early death. Unlike Alivia, he wasn’t deaf to the sarcasm the Queen

used on Harold, which the King then found to be appropriate to be used on Alivia. He hated wolves, and

what the Queen made the King do just made him hate them even more.
