EMBER’S POV

I drop my fork and sit up, my spine locking completely straight as the realisation hits me so hard it physically knocks the breath out of my lungs.

“Silas,” I say.

The urgency in my tone makes both men freeze instantly. Knox’s hand tightens on my waist, his Lycan instincts surging at the sudden spike of my heart rate.

I turn my head, staring directly into my uncle’s eyes.

“Silas. Can I ask you something?”

His posture shifts instantly, and he sets his glass down.

“Of course.”

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 416: HER RETRIBUTION

    EMBER’S POVI can’t breathe.“The world has a sick sense of humour,” I get out.“The world has no sense of humour,” Silas corrects. “I’ll get it. Three days. Consider it the first thing your uncle ever did for you.” A pause, gruff. “It won’t be the last.”My heart warms.“But before you go, I’ll give you the one warning worth more than any of it. This wolf. This waking. You heard my sister — the strength you want is the thing that calls the whole East down on your head. So walk soft, girl. Whatever you become, become it slowly, and become it quietly. The brighter you burn, the more devils come out of the dark to circle the light. A queen felt you once, as a child, across the whole world. She’ll feel you again the day you finally reach that wolf. So choose that day carefully.” His eyes hold mine. “And when it comes, you call me. Whatever it costs. You are not alone in this anymore. You had one family that didn’t want you. Now you have one that does. Whether you like it or not.”Hot tea

Knox’s hand tightens on my waist, his Lycan instincts surging at the sudden spike of my heart rate.I turn my head, staring directly into my uncle’s eyes.“Silas. Can I ask you something?”His posture shifts instantly, and he sets his glass down.“Of course.”“You mentioned that this mountain has ties with the East,” I say, the words rushing out of me as the adrenaline spikes back into my blood. “You said you have sources that sometimes keep you informed. That’s how you knew Devika was being hunted. Right?”Silas’s brow furrows. He eyes Knox for a brief second, measuring the sudden shift in the room, then nods grimly.“Yes.”I lean forward, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs.“That means you would have access to the Eastern black market.”“Sure,” he

    EMBER’S POVThe food is served alongside some wine.Silas sits across from us, nursing a glass of amber liquid. He looks exhausted, but his eyes soften when they land on me.“I’m sorry,” I say quietly, picking at the food on my plate. “For my mother. For how she spoke to you.”“Nonsense,” Silas snorts, waving a hand. “Do not apologise for Devika. I grew up with her, remember? I knew the monster before she even grew teeth.” He takes a sip of his drink, intentionally lightening the air. “Though I must say, seeing my niece sitting here with the Lycan King… our ancestors are violently rolling in their graves right now. Spinning, really.”Knox pauses, his spoon halfway to his mouth. He takes a bite, chews slowly, and arches a dark brow at my uncle.“The stew is actually decent. I was almost certain you had poisoned it.”“I considered it,” Silas deadpans. He leans forward, resting his elbows on the table, suddenly slipping right into the role of a protective, interrogating father. “Which br

    EMBER’S POVHis jaw works, and then he nods.The scale glows and reaches into me, and I feel it lift the whole rot of Gale out — years of terror and grinding and a white hospital ceiling, flashes after flashes, of violence and blood and cruel words and down to the sex with Logan — and then there’s a smooth blank place where he lived, and I know only, the way you know a fact about a stranger, that I was married once, and it was bad, and I left.The details of it are gone. And it doesn’t hurt at all.The light of the scale dies down, and I am heaving, chest heaving and confused.What did I give away?It’s hard to dwell on, because Devika’s wound is still crushing.“And you, King,” Silas says.Knox is quiet. Then, he says softly:“My father. Everything he was. Everything he did to my mother, to me, to this life. The night he nearly killed her, and every night before it, and every day since I’ve spent carrying the fear that I’m made of the same thing.” His face is stone. “I’ve let that ma

    EMBER’S POVSilas is quiet for a long beat.“…As you wish, sister.”The scale flares. The cold, buzzing light reaches across the table and sinks into her.And I have to sit there, choking on my own tears, and watch my mother die without her heart ever stopping.I watch the light pull it out of her. I watch the deep, ancient grief drain out of her features drop by drop.I watch the tension that has lived in her jaw for years smooth out into nothing.I watch her weep for a thing she is no longer allowed to remember, until the tears on her face are just water on a stranger’s cheeks, meaning nothing at all.The light snuffs out.The room plunges back into silence.Devika blinks. Her spine straightens slightly, the posture of a wealthy woman who has just awoken from a nap in a strange room.She looks around the blood-stained room with mild, detached puzzlement.Then, she reaches up and touches her face. Her fingers come away wet.“…How odd,” she murmurs to herself, her voice perfectly ligh

    EMBER’S POVDevika freezes. Her hands drop from her wet face.For a long, terrible moment, she just stares at me. And then, right in front of my eyes, the ice finally cracks. The monster dies.Twenty-six years of survival comes crashing down, and the woman under it caves in.“Because that’s what he called me,” she whispers. It is the softest, most broken sound I have ever heard her make. “Rhovan. When it was just the two of us, in the dark. When I was the only thing in the world he wanted. He’d take my face in his hands and he’d call me his spark in the dark. His ember. The little fire that kept catching no matter how the world tried to put it out.”Devika reaches across the black table.Her hand is trembling violently, her knuckles white. And when her cold, shaking fingers gently cup my wet cheek, the breath violently leaves my lungs.It is the first time in my entire life my mother has touched me with tenderness.I let out a wounded, suffocated noise and lean into her palm.
