EMBER’S POV

The 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.

Releasing Gale to capture Logan may work. Recapturing Gale while Knox kills Logan will be the tricky part.

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 400: PREGNANT AND HUNTED

    EMBER’S POVI hate that it moves me. I hate it more than anything she’s said tonight. And I don’t let it show on my face.Under the table, Knox’s hand turns and closes over mine, an anchor, the only thing keeping me upright, and I hold onto him like a woman going under, because I am.“That’s enough,” Knox says. “She doesn’t need it framed like—”“She asked, King.” Devika finally shifts her gaze from mine, and the poison is back in them. “The house deals in truth. That’s my truth.”“Then here’s one back.” Knox’s voice could split stone. “It’s rather pathetic that you think not killing her was your one moment of weakness. It wasn’t. It was the only moment of true strength you have ever had in your miserable, selfish life. And it terrified you so much that you spent the next two decades punishing her for it. You lost your filthy silk and your golden palace, but the real tragedy is that you were given a daughter worth a thousand of those things, and you were just too cowardly to ever dese

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 399: A MOTHER AND HER CHILD

    EMBER’S POVShe looks at me across the table, dead-eyed, beaten down to the bone, and she does not hide a single bit of her resentment.“Yes, Ember. You. You were the pregnancy that got me caught. You were the thing that cost me the palace and the expensive silk and the man I loved and the only happiness I was ever given. You ruined my entire life by the simple act of beginning to exist, and I have never once in my years been able to look at your face without seeing everything I lost. So when you ask me why I could never love you the way a mother’s meant to—there. There’s your answer. You were my new grave. My new permanent mountain. Tell me how a woman learns to love her own captor.”“I was your child!” I spit, the words tearing out of my throat before I can stop them. I slam my hands down, the rage blinding me. “Your own blood! You do not get to blame me for decisions you made long before I was even born! It is your fault you are in this mess. It is your fault your life got destroye

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 398: I GOT PREGNANT

    EMBER’S POV“Fucking brats.” Devika sneers. “Princess Elara and Seravina. The queen’s whole pride. They were trained from the age of five, both of them, bred and drilled for one thing and one thing only.” Her lips curl. “To inherit the Silver Wolf. The Great East’s true power. It is passed on by bloodline. When a host gives birth, it moves, it finds the next worthy one in the line, and the whole Great East holds its breath. Because a Caelora without the silver wolf is a Caelora that can be challenged and torn apart. And the two girls had been raised to be ready for it, to be worthy, to be chosen when it came for them.” She lets out a slow breath. “They were the reason men like Rhovan stayed on their leash. As long as that wolf lived in the ruling line, no one could touch the throne. Not him. Not anyone.”I can see the pieces turning behind Knox’s grey eyes.When our gazes finally lock, I know my terror is completely laid bare.I hate where this is going. I can feel the sickening shape

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 397: WE’LL TAKE THE THRONE

    EMBER’S POV“Oh, but it was a trophy, Ember.” She looks at me with genuine, baffled frustration, like I’m a slow child failing an obvious sum. “I survived, did I not? That is the only trophy there has ever been. My survival. The world will teach you the way it taught me, and the world is a far crueller tutor than I ever was.”Not once have the men broken their stunned silence, watching this foul woman gloat over her own atrocities.She will burn anyone, sacrifice anything, as long as it guarantees her survival.“They saved your life!” I snap, the disgust finally boiling over into pure rage. I lean forward. “That woman pulled you out of the dirt when you had absolutely nothing! She fed you. She housed you. And you slaughtered her—and every single girl in that house—just so you could play mistress to a married man. How could you possibly live happily knowing their blood bought your bed?”Devika’s jaw hardens, but I don’t give her a second to speak.“And you call yourself clever?” I laug

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 396: MY DARLING RHOVAN

    EMBER’S POV“I worked like a dog for it,” she agrees, glowing again, lit up from inside by her own worst self. “Made myself sharp and useful and beautiful, all so I could be in that room. And finally, there he was. My Rhovan. More beautiful than the memory.”She sneers, a vicious twist of her lips.“And beside him—her. The Alpha Queen. Lady Isolde. Ethereal and cold and covered in everything I had ever starved for. I hated her the instant I saw her. Hated her for having him. Hated her for being everything I’d clawed toward my whole life and would never once be.”“Only you could obsess over a married man for two years, stalk him across an entire continent, and somehow have the absolute audacity to hate his wife for standing next to her own husband.”Devika doesn’t even flinch. If anything, her chin lifts higher, utterly unrepentant in her delusion.“I did what any woman with a bone of ambition would do. Anyway, right there in that feast, I slid a note into his lap while I poured his win

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 395: HER LIFE OR MINE

    EMBER’S POV“That was when the fight happened,” Silas says now, in slow realisation.“That was the fight.” She finally meets his eyes, devoid of any mercy. “I told you everything I felt that night. That I hated this mountain. That I hated our family. That I hated the filthy legacy you loved so much. That I hated you. And you told me to fuck off, brother. You told me the mountain would run better without me wearing everyone down with my nagging.” A thin, razor-sharp smile touches her lips. “So I took you at your word.”She turns back to me. The dreaminess is entirely gone now, replaced by that cold, monstrous pride.“That night, when the mountain had gone to bed, I swept through everything my brother had saved. Every piece of gold and jewellery my mother owned. Every last coin. And when the eastern caravan rolled out at dawn, I buried myself in it, hiding under luggage and contraband all the way across the border to the Great East. The land of my dreams.”“She was on her sickbed, Devik
