EMBER’S POV

The staff-guests are screaming, diving under the table, trampling each other toward exits.

I don’t understand what she did and I don’t have time to ask because the path to the door is clear and adrenaline is shooting up my spine and my wolf is screaming: RUN.

I run.

Barefoot, bleeding from where the guards’ nails bit into my arms, the red dress but I hold on desperately to it like a towel, even as it flows behind like a cape.

I hit the lodge doors at full speed and the cold slams in

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 187: THE CHASE

    EMBER’S POVThe staff-guests are screaming, diving under the table, trampling each other toward exits.I don’t understand what she did and I don’t have time to ask because the path to the door is clear and adrenaline is shooting up my spine and my wolf is screaming: RUN.I run.Barefoot, bleeding from where the guards’ nails bit into my arms, the red dress but I hold on desperately to it like a towel, even as it flows behind like a cape.I hit the lodge doors at full speed and the cold slams into me and I don’t feel it because Sapphire is in my veins now, lending me her heat, her speed, her ancient and furious refusal to be caged.The compound grounds blur past me — the cabins, the hot springs steaming in the dark, the tree line approaching with agonising slowness.Behind me the lodge is a chaos of shouting and gunfire and broken glass, and somewhere in the middle of it Rafael’s voice rises above the rest, raw and commanding, bellowing orders at men who are too busy trying to kill eac

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 186: SCREAM, EMBER

    EMBER’S POVHe takes me from the guards. His hands close around my arms and he pulls me against him and lowers me to the floor forcefully, aggressively restraining against my dulled fight-or-flight instinct.My skin crawls because it’s WRONG. This is wrong. His touch is wrong. His feel on my skin is wrong. Everything about this moment is wrong.He pins me under him, forcing me down with his crushing weight, and the tears gather in my eyes.My body is betraying me — the heat surging through my core, my skin oversensitised, nerve endings firing at his proximity in ways that have nothing to do with desire and everything to do with the chemical hijacking of my biology.My back arches involuntarily when his chest presses against mine and a sound escapes my lips that I would die before making willingly and the sob that follows it is the most honest thing I’ve produced all night.This is it.He is going to rape me here on the floor of his dining room while his drugged guests fuck around us a

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 185: STRIPPED NAKED

    EMBER’S POVThe hand behind my head grips my hair and tilts my chin upward and I’m thrashing, kicking, biting at the fingers that pry at my jaw, but there are four of them and one of me and they are strong, unbelievably strong.Rafael steps forward and cups my face with one hand — gentle, impossibly gentle, the way a lover would — and pours the liquid past my lips with the other.It burns. Goddess, it BURNS — like swallowing liquid fire, like the inside of my throat is being scoured with acid, and I gag and choke and try to spit but his hand clamps over my mouth and his gray eyes hold mine with such steady, certain gaze.“Swallow,” he says softly. “It’ll pass.”I swallow because I can’t breathe otherwise and the fire slides down my throat and into my chest and spreads through my bloodstream like wildfire, wild poison.The first thing I feel is pain, like my organs are being rearranged from the inside, like every cell in my body is being rewritten without my permission.I double over i

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 184: THE INELEGANT WAY

    EMBER’S POVHis breathing changes — shorter, shallower — and his eyes drop to my hand and come back up to my face, to my lips and the hunger in them is so naked, so absolute, that a different woman might mistake it for love.“I’m tired of fighting,” I whisper. “I’m tired of being angry. I’m tired of wanting a man who doesn’t want me back.”“He doesn’t deserve you.”“Maybe not.” I slide my hand higher on his thigh — just an inch, just enough to feel the heat spike between us, and Rafael’s hand comes up to cover mine again and his fingers are trembling and I think — this is what power feels like.Not the kind men have, the kind that comes from fists and money and crowns. The devious kind.The kind a woman carries when she understands that desire is a leash and she’s holding the other end.“Ember.” My name in his mouth sounds like a man drowning. “Tell me this is real.”“Does it feel real?”I slip from my chair into his lap in one fluid motion — straddling him, my knees on either side of

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 183: HOPELESS ROMANTIC

    EMBER’S POV“Because the last time they were free, you tried to take my eyes out.” A smile, wry, almost self-deprecating. “I adore your fire, querida. But I’d like to keep my vision.”“What if I promise to behave?”The words hang between us and I watch what it does to him — his pupils dilate, his breath catch, the careful composure wavers just enough for something vulnerable to show through.He wants this. Goddess, he wants this so badly — the willing version, the choosing version, the Ember who sits across from him at dinner and smiles and touches him because she wants to and not because her wrists are bound.“I want to try the wine,” I say softly. “I want to eat dinner with you without these on my wrists. I want to have one evening where someone treats me like a person and not a child.” I hold his gaze. “Can you give me that?”He searches my face for the lie and I give him nothing to find because I have spent years under Gale Crawford’s roof learning how to make my face say things m

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 182: DINNER DATE

    EMBER’S POVI stare at him.Then I look at the people around the table — twenty faces, twenty blank expressions, twenty pairs of eyes watching a woman tied to a chair being told she’s someone’s fated mate by the person who drugged her unconscious and dressed her like a doll, and not a single one of them registers anything beyond polite dinner-party interest.He is insane. Not dangerous-insane the way I’ve dealt with before, not Gale’s abusive cruelty or my mother’s dramatics.This is the other kind. The kind that feels worse and masquerades with his performative charm.My heart is hammering so hard I can feel it in my ears, but I force myself to breathe, to think, to catalogue.The restraints: silk, tied in a knot I can feel against the underside of the chair arm — aesthetics prioritised over security.The exits: two doors, one behind Rafael’s end of the table leading deeper into the lodge, one to my left leading to the main entrance.But both are flanked by men in suits who are not e

    EMBER’S POVI wake with his voice still rooted in my chest.‘I might do the same.’The words have been sitting under my ribs since the aurora, intimate and warm and terrifying in equal measure.I said them. Or almost said them. Stood under those impossible lights with Knox looking at me like I was
