EMBER’S POV

Logan Reeves looks like demon wearing a man’s skin.

The polished businessman I’ve always known is gone — eaten through by weeks of possibly not sleeping or eating.

He’s thinner in the face, hollowed under the eyes, vibrating with an unhinged frequency.

His wolves form a loose circle that tightens as I skid to a halt, and every single one of them is watching me with the flat, patient hunger of predators who haven’t been told whether to kill me or not.

I try to step back and two of hi

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 218: WHERE IS GALE?

    EMBER’S POV“Absolutely not,” Knox says it casually. “Gale is an unrepentant, violent piece of shit who beat my woman for eight years and hasn’t shown a flicker of remorse. He’s not going anywhere except deeper into hell.” His thumb traces my thigh. “But Logan doesn’t need to know that. Logan needs to believe the trade is real long enough to hand over the flash drive. Once I have it, I take both of them. Logan joins Gale. They can spend the rest of their natural lives rotting together. Every true love story deserves a happy ending.”“And if he doesn’t take the bait?” Nathaniel asks.“Then we use brute force. Kill him if we have to. But he is not walking away alive with that flash drive.”I feel the logic of it settle into place. Smart. Clean. Gives Logan what he wants while neutralising the weapon.“Where IS Gale?” I ask.Knox’s hand tightens on my thigh.“Ember.”“Where is Gale, Knox?”A pause. “Your father’s house,” Knox says. “Maurice’s property. He’s been there the whole time. Gu

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 217: HOW COMFORTING

    EMBER’S POVThe room goes quiet. Everyone is looking at me.“Rafael is only one part of it,” I say slowly. “If we go by everything Nathaniel just told us, the real danger was never Rafael. It’s the gene itself. Having Knox susceptible to it means he’s one bad day away from another episode. One drugging.” I look at Nathaniel, and the word lands exactly where I aim it. “One person cruel enough to weaponise his weakness against him. Or—” My voice catches. “Or if something ever went wrong with me. If we have a mature bond and I’m hurt, or taken, or killed, he could lose his mind entirely. The bond that’s supposed to cure him becomes the detonator instead. And that means—”“A new massacre,” Nathaniel supplies quietly. “Potentially worse than the first. A fully bonded Lycan without an anchor is exponentially more dangerous than an unbonded one. The bond supercharges every instinct. Including the feral ones.”Knox is quiet for a long time. His chest rises and falls against my back in measure

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 216: WHAT IS SAPPHIRE?

    EMBER’S POV“Sapphire told me to scream.” The words come out simpler than the memory deserves. “Rafael was on top of me. I couldn’t fight him. My wolf had been silent for days, and then suddenly she was THERE, louder than she’d ever been. She said trust me. She said scream. So I opened my mouth, and what came out wasn’t my voice. It was something older and bigger, and it came from a place in me I didn’t know existed. It hit everyone in the room, like some form of wave. Rafael flew off my body. The guards dropped. And then they just… turned. On each other. Like whatever I’d released had scrambled something fundamental in them. Their training, their loyalty, their ability to tell friend from enemy — all of it was gone. They started firing at each other, fighting each other, and I ran.”Nobody speaks for a moment. Nathaniel writes on the board: SAPPHIRE — COMMAND / OVERRIDE.“That’s consistent with ancient texts about a specific type of wolf that hasn’t existed in generations,” he says.

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 215: WE DON’T KILL OUR FRIENDS

    EMBER’S POVA sound escapes him. Broken and startled, a small laugh that somehow makes it through the madness.“You’re insane,” he says. “You want me to make the man who killed sixty-three people a hypothetical GODPARENT.”“I want you to sit back down in that chair and hold me and let me anchor you while we figure out what the hell we do next. The godparent discussion, hypothetical or otherwise, can wait until I’ve had significantly more coffee and significantly less trauma.”His hand opens.Nathaniel drops to the floor in a heap, gasping, clutching his throat. Queenie doesn’t rush to him this time. Rather, she turns away, going to the window with her back to the room and her arms around herself, and the distance between her and her husband on the floor is three feet and a thousand miles simultaneously.Knox’s arms close around me. Crushing. His face in my neck, his body shaking, and the claws retract against my back one by one, human fingers replacing them, and the gold drains fro

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 214: COME BACK TO ME

    EMBER’S POV“THEY WERE QUIET.” The scream tears out of him, the gold in his eyes BLAZES, the claws punch through on both hands, and the chair creaks under the force of his body going rigid. “They were so quiet, and I still found them and the boy LOOKED at me, Ember, he looked at me right before I—”He can’t finish. The sound that replaces words is something I hope I never hear again as long as I live. The sound of a man’s soul hitting a wall it can’t survive, and the impact echoes through every room he’ll ever walk into for the rest of his life.He stands. I slide off. He crosses the room toward Nathaniel with a speed that isn’t human, his body moving on feral autopilot, claws fully extended, gold eyes burning with sixty-three deaths that just found their architect.“YOU.” The word is barely recognisable through the shift. “You drugged me. You lowered the threshold. You made SURE the gene would overwhelm the bond. And then you pointed me at a room full of people, and you WATCHED.”“I

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 213: THE COMPOUND

    EMBER’S POVKnox makes a sound. A low and guttural sound coming from somewhere deeper than his chest, somewhere that lives in the spine and the blood and the ancient lineage of what he is. His hand on my hip goes rigid.“But here’s the part I can never undo.” Nathaniel’s voice is breaking now. “Celeste agreed to the test. She agreed because she loved you, and she wanted you cured because she believed your distance could be fixed if the feral gene was gone. She would have done anything I asked if I told her it would fix the gene. If it would make you feel closer to her at heart. But Celeste had her own—” He stops and clears his throat. “She had her own feelings about Kieran. Feelings she’d been navigating for months. Feelings I KNEW about and used as leverage because a scenario with genuine chemistry would be more convincing than a purely staged one.”All breaths are held.“To the best of my knowledge,” Nathaniel continues, barely above a whisper, “the test was supposed to be containe
