EMBER’S POV

The medical team arrives in under four minutes. Three of them in crisp uniforms carrying equipment that looks too advanced for a resort.

The lead one, a woman with silver threading through dark hair, drops beside Rayana without bothering with introductions.

“Dr. Patel. I need light here. Someone get pressure on this wound while I assess the damage.” She’s already cutting away the blood-soaked fabric of Rayana’s dress, revealing two deep gashes in her lower abdomen. “How long has she

Hey loves 🖤 I owe you an apology. It's been almost two weeks since I updated, and I'm so sorry for the silence. Life got messy, but I'm back now and not going anywhere. To make it up to you — double updates today. Updates restart from here, so no need to worry. We're in this together. One thing though. It's been quiet in the comments lately and sometimes I wonder if anyone's still reading. It can get a little discouraging not knowing if the chapters are landing. So please, don't hesitate to scream at me. Drop your theories. Tell me you love a character. Tell me you hate one. I read everything and I love responding even more. Thank you for still being here. Thank you for your patience. Now let's get back to it 🖤 — Remi

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 391: THE CAELORA ROYALS

    EMBER’S POVI reach deep into my mind, past Knox, past Gale, past a great many memories, and I find something that brings a familiar ache back to my chest. I force my voice to remain steady when I speak.“I wager a grey afternoon with clouds gathered, and rain on the hot pavement. I was ten years old in a blue dress. The first time I’d ever worn a dress that pretty.”The scale glows bright, but does not move yet.Across the table, my mother watches it carefully, and I can see her doing the math she’s done her whole life, weighing what my truth is worth against what it costs her to bury it.Her chin comes up.She’s going to block me.“I wager my first designer dress,” my mother says, her voice hard and defensive. “The exact moment I put it on in the dressing room, and felt more alive than I had in years.”I almost smile to myself.She took the bait.I had disguised my own wager to sound like a simple, innocent memory of waiting on the porch in a pretty dress.But the house must know th

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 390: ASKER AND DEFENDER

    EMBER’S POVThe scale wakes up between us. Cold light spreads across the black table like living ice, and I feel it reaching for me.I suddenly think of the man I saw earlier on my tour. His eyes had clouded completely white, and a sick feeling drops into my stomach as I finally understand.He had wagered his memories, and the house had collected.A sharp, insistent prick drills into my head, hungry invisible fingers clawing into the deepest part of my mind, scraping the corners before they find a thread and pull brutally.The tug forces a gasp out of me, and nausea rolls up right behind it.Knox is already moving. His hand catches my jaw and turns my face up to his, grey eyes blown wide.“Ember. Is it too much?” He doesn’t wait for my answer. His glare snaps to Silas. “You didn’t say it would hurt her. What is that thing doing to her?”“I’m fine.” I try to hand him a small reassuring smile, but his jaw stays set, his eyes hard with fury and pure concern.Silas leans back in his chair

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 389: GAMBLING FOR TWO

    EMBER’S POVHe crosses to his sister, slow and enormous, and he leans down until his scarred face is inches from hers, and when he speaks it’s soft, and it’s the most frightening thing I’ve heard all night.“You’ll tell her.” His dark eyes bore into her. “You’ll tell her every last thing she wants to know. Because if you don’t, sister — if you sit there and spite a girl who’s done nothing but be born to you — then you and I are finished, do you understand me? Finished for good.” His voice drops lower. “I will strip your silks. I will empty your rooms. I will put you out of this mountain with the clothes on your back and nothing else, and I will tell every rogue on this continent that Devika Black is dead to the Black line, and you will spend the rest of your miserable grasping life with no name, no house, no floor, and no family — completely, utterly alone. Which is, I think, the one thing in this world you’ve always been most afraid of.” He straightens. “So. Do you tell her willingly

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 388: WE CAME FOR THE TRUTH

    EMBER’S POVAnd I stare at him, this enormous, scarred rogue who eats crème caramel and threatens kings, and I feel something rip open in my chest, because I know that.I know that feeling in my bones. I spent years trying to go back to a mother who threw me away because the alternative was having no one at all.“I’m sorry,” Silas says.I blink. “What?”“For how she’s used you.” His dark eyes hold mine, and there’s so much depth in them. “I don’t know the whole of it yet. But I know my sister, and I heard what you said about slapping her, and I know it was ugly, and I know she must have deserved it.” His jaw tightens. “No blood of the Black line deserves to be handled like that. Not by anyone, and least of all by one of our own. You are not a thief’s mistake, girl, whatever she’s let you believe. You are family. And in this mountain, that word still means something, even if it stopped meaning anything to her.”And I don’t have words. I have blood on my face and an uncle I met four min

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 387: THORN IN MY FLESH

    EMBER’S POVIn that moment, I almost murder her.Matricide.My claws are already out in a blink, moving to slash right through her neck, when Knox’s firm arms band like iron around my waist, hauling me violently backward away from the despicable piece of shit.“Breathe, baby,” Knox rasps into my ear, his solid chest expanding against my back as he holds me flush against him. “We can’t kill her yet. Not without getting your answers first.” He presses a hot, rough kiss into my hair, his golden eyes locked purely on my mother. “The second she talks, I promise I will hand you the pleasure myself.”“Devika,” Silas growls. “Watch your filthy mouth in front of the girl.” He drags a huge hand down his scarred face and shakes his head slowly, and when he speaks again it’s almost to himself, weary to the bone. “Fifty years. Fifty years I have wondered what my mother did to offend the Goddess so badly that she cursed her with a daughter this foul. Fifty years, and I still don’t have an answer.”

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 386: UNCLE SILAS?

    EMBER’S POVThe record scratches.The entire room goes dead silent.My brain… breaks.The rogues trade lost, confused looks. Knox’s head comes up slow, his gold eyes narrowing.And I stand there perfectly still while the word goes off in my skull, over and over.Brother. Silas is her brother. The Rogue King is her brother.Which means—Silas Black goes completely motionless.I watch the crime lord who was ten seconds from unleashing his rogues to execute us turn his enormous frame away from Knox. He looks at his sister. Then he looks at me.He crosses the space in two strides, ignoring Knox, ignoring the gun, and reaches out with one huge scarred hand, gentle as anything, to take my chin and tilt my face up into the light.He looks at me.Nobody has ever looked at me like this. Searching. Hungry. Disbelieving.His dark eyes trace my cheekbones, the shape of my mouth, the colour of my irises, and a terrible dawn breaks over his scarred face, and the hand at my chin starts to shake.“De

    KNOX’S POVHe blinks, the picture of innocence. “I’m not sure I understand. I explained the purpose quite clearly at the beginning of the evening. Conflict resolution. Closure. An opportunity for all parties to—”“Bullshit.”The word is deadpan, and I see Logan’s head snap up, see Gale’s sobbing st

    EMBER’S POVWhen I step outside the girls’ cabin with Rayana and Queenie flanking me, Rayana is mid-monologue about the caribou she’s planning to devour at dinner — something about sinking her teeth into tender, perfectly seared meat that borders on orgasmic — and I’m half-listening, half-scanning
