EMBER’S POV

And my stomach drops, because there is no Mr Aster. But Merrilyn Aster does not drop her cover. Merrilyn Aster laughs.

It comes out of me sharp and bright and just this side of unhinged, the laugh of a woman who has never once in her gilded life been told no.

And I reach into my clutch and pull out the gold-cased phone Queenie bought for exactly this, and I hold it out to the pit boss like I’m doing him an enormous favour.

“You want to speak to Daddy?” I say sweetly. “By all means.

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 378: HOMICIDALLY STILL

    EMBER’S POVAnd my stomach drops, because there is no Mr Aster. But Merrilyn Aster does not drop her cover. Merrilyn Aster laughs.It comes out of me sharp and bright and just this side of unhinged, the laugh of a woman who has never once in her gilded life been told no.And I reach into my clutch and pull out the gold-cased phone Queenie bought for exactly this, and I hold it out to the pit boss like I’m doing him an enormous favour.“You want to speak to Daddy?” I say sweetly. “By all means. Let’s call Daddy.” I’m already dialling, already smiling, already too loud. “I do hope you’ll tell him precisely where his money’s going tonight. Tell him about the floor. Tell him about the men. Tell him I said the words engine grease into a telephone. Maybe this is the one that finally gives him the heart attack he keeps threatening me with — he’s been promising to disinherit me since I was nineteen, and honestly, at this point—”The line connects.“Merrilyn.” Nathaniel’s voice, but this time,

    EMBER’S POVHe pauses. The polished host actually blinks, his elegant smile faltering.“Watch?”I turn to look at Cassian with the withering pity usually reserved for slow children.“Yes, Cassian. Watch. With his eyes.” I let out a sharp, highly irritated sigh. “Do I need to draw you a diagram? It is a strict sexual requirement. He is going to stand in the corner, perfectly silent, and watch me thoroughly degrade whatever grease-covered feral I purchase tonight. Knowing he is forced to stand there and watch me take my pleasure makes it exponentially hotter for me, and Jon the First here is my designated audience.”I wave a dismissive, jewel-heavy hand at the towering Lycan King behind me without so much as glancing back.“He is exceptionally good at maintaining eye contact and repressing his trauma while I get off. It is literally what I pay him for.”Behind me, I can feel the exact millisecond Knox stops breathing. The air in our immediate vicinity practically drops ten degrees, trou

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 376: LADY ASTER

    EMBER’S POVA valet who appears to file his teeth for a hobby opens my door.And I step out into Casino Royale, Casino Royale on the invitation, the Slaughterhouse to everyone who actually comes here, and I make myself look bored.It is the single hardest thing I have ever done.Because the place is depravity made flesh.We come up out of the stone into a cavern that somebody has poured a king’s fortune into making beautiful and filthy in equal measure, gold everywhere, black marble veined with something that glows, honeyed light spilling from nowhere and pooling like liquor.And the liveliness of it is quite the surprise.Dancers are on raised platforms and swinging around gold poles, barely dressed and utterly unbothered, moving as though the music flows directly from their veins.A woman is reclining on a chaise being fed grapes by two shirtless men who are visibly competing for the honour.A fountain is running with something dark and effervescent, and people are drinking from it

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 375: INTO THE MOUNTAIN

    EMBER’S POVThe mountain swallows the car whole.There’s no door or glittering red sign that announces this as the entrance to the most dangerous casino on the continent.A road runs straight into a wall of black rock. Just as we’re about to hit, the stone opens, and the car glides down a throat of polished stone, deep into the belly of the mountain, and behind us, the rock seals shut like a mouth finishing a meal.“Cute,” I say, because Merrilyn Aster is not impressed by geology. “Very theatrical. Someone’s compensating.”Beside me, Knox says nothing.Knox can’t say anything because Knox is currently a bodyguard in black, with a surgical mask over the lower half of his face, to cover a weeping rash so contagious and so grotesque that no sane creature will ask him to lift it.Only his eyes show. And those eyes have been promising me a slow and thorough death since the moment we left home, which, if I’m honest, is doing something for me.He’s also, at this exact moment, not perfectly h

    KNOX’S POVAnd I understand exactly what she’s doing—burying the ugliness of Hale under something warmer, pulling us back out of the cold—so I follow her lead, and I let the corner of my mouth curl, and I dip my head, all mock contrition.“You’re quite right, Lady Aster. A grave error on my part.” I hold her gaze. “How do you plan to punish me for it?”The flush is instant, and furious, and she fights it valiantly.“That is—that is no way to—”“Anything,” I go on, lower, “like the handcuffs?”Her eyes go wide, and the color floods all the way up her throat, and she makes a small strangled sound, and Queenie, behind her, makes an entirely different sound, delighted and scandalized. “That,” Ember hisses, scrabbling for the character and losing, “is no way to talk to your boss—”“No?” I take a slow step in, closing the gap, insufferable, thoroughly enjoying myself for the first time all day. “Then how would you have me talk to you, ma’am? Because I’m your man for the night. I’ll speak t

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 373: GET A ROOM

    KNOX’S POVThe imperious mask flickers. Under it, my real Ember flushes, just slightly, pleased, and her mouth softens for half a second before she wrestles the character back on.“Mm.” She reaches out and adjusts my collar with one manicured finger, a small proprietary touch, a woman fixing her possession. “Jealous already. And we haven’t even left.” Her eyes gleam. “You’re going to be insufferable tonight, aren’t you.”“Deeply.” I catch the hand at my collar, turn it, press my mouth to the inside of her wrist, right over the pulse, and feel it jump. “You look like sin in that dress, Ember. I’m going to spend the whole drive thinking about getting you out of it.”“That is not—” and there she cracks, the flush spreading, her voice dropping out of the character entirely into a scandalized whisper, “—Knox, there are people—”“GET A ROOM.”Queenie basically shrieks, and Ember jumps back from me, and Queenie is coming down the stairs behind her with her arms thrown wide in theatrical desp
