TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 242: ARREST ME
KNOX’S POVThe promise in it is so calm and so menacing that Nathaniel actually lets go.He takes a deliberate step back, looking at me with the expression of a man who has completely run out of approaches.I cross the room and drop to one knee right in his line of sight. Dead centre. Eye level.I put myself close enough that turning away means moving Gale’s body, anchoring Logan exactly where I want him.I keep my hands entirely to myself. I keep my voice completely level.“I need the location and the passcode. Give me those, and you walk out of here. Same deal as the warehouse—safe passage, a new identity, a complete disappearance. We guarantee absolute distance. A clean slate. Logan Reeves ceases to exist.”Logan looks up from Gale’s body. The vacancy in his expression shatters, replaced by a low, scraping sound that claws its way out of his throat.It is a laugh completely devoid of sanity—broken, hollow, and utterly psychopathic.“Why should I care?” he asks, a deranged smile pul
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 241: DON’T TOUCH ME
KNOX’S POV“I understand that,” Nathaniel says, his tone stubbornly pragmatic. “But no one is going to fucking buy that arrows did this kind of damage. Their men were standing outside. They felt the entire house rumble.”“Then tell them there was an earthquake,” I snap, the edge of my control fraying. “Tell them it was a sinkhole, a freak storm, a gas explosion—fucking something. But the absolute last thing we are going to do is throw Ember under the bus.”Nathaniel holds my gaze for a long, heavy second.“Harrison’s men used incendiary bolts,” I state flatly.“They didn’t.”“Nathaniel.” I look at him, and the look is the exact one I’ve been giving him since I was seventeen. It means: this is the story. Make it work. “Harrison’s men used incendiary bolts. The structural damage to the storage room is consistent with a small thermal detonation during the assault. Document it that way.”He holds my gaze for a beat. Then nods.I take the scene.I bypass the chaos entirely, walking straigh
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 240: EMBER HAPPENED
KNOX’S POVThe paramedics take over from Ember’s hands, and the transition is ugly — she doesn’t want to let go of Maurice’s chest, doesn’t want to stop being the thing between him and death.I have to physically lift her off the floor and hold her against me while two men in uniforms slide in and do what trained professionals do when a man has a bullet in his lung and a heartbeat that has no medical right to exist.I find Queenie in the kitchen, sitting on the floor with her back against the cabinets.She is pulling in ragged, hiccupping breaths—the sound of a woman who has cried so hard for so long that her body is reacting involuntarily.Her phone rests in her lap, but her hands are shaking too badly to hold it. It keeps sliding off her thighs. There’s blood on her jacket that isn’t hers.She sees Ember in my arms and scrambles up, and the two of them collide in the hallway, and the embrace is the kind that transcends words.Two women who survived something together that will bond
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 239: BREATH OF LIFE
KNOX’S POVCome back.I’m right here. I’m holding on.Come back to me.I need you. I need you, or we both die in this room.The temperature drops. Not suddenly, but in degrees, like a dial being turned slowly.The golden glow at Maurice’s chest pulses once, twice, three times, then begins to fade—the silver in Ember’s eyes thins, brown bleeding through like dawn coming up behind clouds.The house stops shaking. The vibration in the floor subsides. The cracks in the ceiling stop spreading.Ember takes a breath. A shuddering, gasping, broken inhale that tells me she’s back. She’s here.She collapses against me, and the weight of her is the most precious thing I have ever held.Her body shakes so violently I can feel it in my teeth. The silver vanishes from her eyes, leaving behind only Ember—exhausted, devastated, and covered in her father’s blood.She presses her face into my chest, crying the way she has never let herself cry in front of me before.She completely abandons her composu
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 238: SAPPHIRE’S RAGE
KNOX’S POVMy touch only sets her off. She wails again, holding onto her father, harder and louder than before, and the heat instantly intensifies. The room responds to her.The wallpaper nearest to her blisters, peels, and blackens.The concrete beneath her knees glows red at the edges, hairline cracks spreading outward in a web pattern, as if the floor itself is fracturing from within.The metal pipe running along the wall begins to glow orange, the chains attached to it starting to warp.Logan scrambles backwards with Gale’s body, pressing himself against the far wall.His eyes are wide with a fear that cuts through even his grief, because whatever is happening in this room is beyond anything either of us has encountered.Ember screams again, and the house MOVES.It violently shudders, the walls groaning as the foundation shifts. A frequency I can feel deep in my spine vibrates through the concrete, and Ember is at the dead centre of the chaos.Her body is rigid. Silver light pours
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 237: WAKE UP, DAD!
KNOX’S POVI turn my attention entirely to her, pulling her spiralling focus to me.“I’m here. Look at me. Eyes on me, Ember. I’m here. I’m so sorry.”She looks at me, and the look breaks something in my chest that I didn’t know was still intact.She’s been holding it together.Through the arrows and the siege and the gunshots and the dying and the man she used to be married to being executed in front of her, and her father taking a bullet that was meant for someone else.She’s been holding it all together because there was nobody here to hold it for her, and the walls she built to survive this moment are good, strong walls, the kind of walls you build when your childhood teaches you that falling apart is a luxury.But I’m here now. And my presence is the permission she’s been waiting for.Her face crumbles. The composure completely collapses, giving way to a rush of tears that violently shakes her entire body.I pull her against my chest with my one working arm, holding her tight as

EMBER’S POVMy mother stands in the doorway, draped in designer everything as always.A silk dress in garish emerald that probably cost more than she can actually afford. Jewelry dripping from her neck, her ears, her wrists, every piece fighting for attention.Hair and makeup done to perfection, no

EMBER’S POVThe crowd murmurs agreement, curiosity rippling through the room.Knox extends his hand toward me.“Ember. Come here.”Every eye in the ballroom turns to me.My legs feel like they’re made of water. My heart is trying to escape through my ribcage.But Knox is waiting, his hand outstretc

EMBER’S POVThe mattress dips sometime after three in the morning.I’ve been lying here for hours, staring at the ceiling, my mind running circles around the photo of Queenie still burning a hole in my phone.Sleep feels impossible. Every time I close my eyes, I see Rayana bleeding on the marble. S

EMBER’S POVI nod desperately.“Liar.” He pumps into me slowly, his thumb circling my clit with featherlight pressure that’s nowhere near enough. “You’re never quiet. It’s one of my favorite things about you.”“For goddess sake, Knox, please—”“Please what?” He’s smiling now, the bastard. Enjoying
