CHAPTER 85: LITTLE BIRDIE

작가: Remi Winters
last update 게시일: 2026-02-05 13:17:50

EMBER’S POV

My mother, young and hungry and desperate to claw her way out of poverty, latching onto the first man who seemed like he could give her more.

My father, spinning elaborate lies about wealth and status, letting her believe he was the rich alpha driving those flashy cars when really he was just the chauffeur, borrowing someone else’s shine to make himself look brighter.

I think about the moment she found out. Pregnant and trapped and furious, stuck with a man who had nothing to offer

Both Ember's so called parents abandoned her for booze and money. They both were unfit parents who as far as I'm concerned were guilty of child abuse and should have been punished for their mistreatment of Ember.

The mother is a piece of work. Never hated a character so much!

How did the marriage of an omega to an alpha’s soon equal the agreement with the pack? Ember’s parents weren’t in their pack’s leadership.

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 275: HALE VOLKOV

    EMBER’S POVSomething flickers across Hale’s face. It comes too fast, and its gone before I can name it, smoothed over with that bright, blinking pleasantness, like a stone dropping into water and the surface going still again right after.“Your wife,” she says, and gives a little laugh, high and quick. “Well. Isn’t that something. Isn’t that just— something.” She clasps her hands under her chin. “She’s so small, Knox. Look at her little face. Where did you find her?”I open my mouth, but Knox gets there first, and his voice has cooled a few degrees.“Ember, this is Hale. My cousin, on my father’s side.” He says it the way you’d hand someone a fact to hold. “Her branch of the family lived here when we were children, before they travelled out east. She came back years ago. She’s helped keep the house since.”“Helped keep it.” Hale’s laugh again, that little glassy chime. “He makes it sound so small. I’ve kept this house breathing while he was off being terrifying all over the continent

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 274: HIS HOME

    EMBER’S POVI do not know what to do with that.I’ve spent my whole life being the woman people look through. Being looked at like this, like I am something, makes my skin feel two sizes too small.I am busy, not knowing what to do with my own face when one of them just—leaves.She breaks right out of the line, a little older woman, small and fast, and she is already crying before she gets to us, which, I want to be clear, no one had warned me was on the agenda.“You brought someone home.” She says it to Knox, and then she says it again, quieter, like she doesn’t believe her own mouth. “Oh, dear. Ten years. Ten years and you finally brought someone home.”Beside me, something in him goes soft. First soft thing I’ve felt off him in hours.“It’s late,” he says. “You should be asleep, Marjorie.”“Don’t you tell me about my sleep.” She scrubs her face with the back of her hand, and then she turns all of it on me, and I brace, because I know that turn.I have felt that turn in every fancy

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 273: HIS HOME

    EMBER'S POV The car climbed for what felt like a year, and I’d given up asking how much longer somewhere around the second switchback, when the trees finally let go of the road and I saw it.I don’t know what I expected.Something old, probably. Something with gargoyles and a moat and a name that sounded like a curse, because that fit the man whose hand had been wrapped around mine since the plane like he thought I might evaporate if he loosened his grip.What I got instead was black glass and steel folded out over a drop I couldn’t see the bottom of, the whole thing lit up gold from the inside and hanging in the dark.“Okay,” I said. “That’s not a house.”“It’s home.” His thumb kept moving over my knuckles. Slow, steady, around and around, the way you’d check a bruise hadn’t gotten worse.He hadn’t stopped touching me since we got on the plane. He hadn’t said much either, not since the runway, not since I mentioned Rafael and the warm version of him packed up and left and this other

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 272: MY WIFE, MY MATE, MY LOVE

    EMBER’S POVThe colour drains from Knox’s face so fast it’s like watching someone pull a plug.“She thinks he’s alive,” I continue, and the words feel dangerous leaving my mouth, like setting something loose that I can’t put back. “She heard whispers among the nurses a few nights ago. An emergency call went out demanding every qualified surgeon in the hospital. All ten senior doctors pulled from their shifts in the middle of the night, driven out in private cars. The patient was in critical condition. She thinks it was Rafael.”Knox doesn’t respond.His eyes go blank, sinking to a place I can’t follow. The Lycan King is taking over.I can practically see the ruthless calculations forming behind his stare—a cold precision that terrifies and reassures me all at once.His jaw locks.“You think it’s true, don’t you?” I ask.“FUCK.” The word comes out sharp and vicious and he drops my hand to drag his palm across his jaw. “I KNEW I should have ripped that bastard’s head clean off his shoul

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 271: ABOUT RAFAEL

    EMBER’S POVHe swallows hard.“I made her carry my secrets and clean my messes and defend my choices to people who questioned them, and not ONCE did she ever refuse, because she trusted me that completely, and I have damned that trust in ways I can’t undo.”The janitor has stopped mopping again. I don’t blame him.“There has to be something,” Nathaniel says, and the begging in his voice is so naked it makes my chest hurt despite everything this man has done. “One last chance at doing right by her. Before the council decides my fate, before Knox decides my fate, before everything I’ve built comes down around me — I need to know I did ONE thing that was for her and only her. Not for Knox. Not for the mission. Not for anything.” He looks at me and the look is the look of a drowning man. “What do I say to her, Ember? What words exist that could possibly be enough? Help me. Please. Anything.”My heart breaks, rips in ways I can’t explain. Is it too late for them? Was it too late for Knox a

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 270: WHAT ARE HER FAVOURITE FLOWERS?

    EMBER’S POVThe janitor at the far end of the cafeteria has stopped mopping and is staring.“Nathaniel, get up.”“Not until you tell me if there’s a chance. If there’s anything I can do. If Queenie has said anything to you about what she needs from me that I can still give.”I stare down at him on the dirty linoleum.Queenie’s words from the car hit me suddenly.Looking at him now, her jealousy toward Knox makes terrifying sense. It was never romantic. It is so much worse.She has to sit back and watch her husband pour every ounce of his energy, his sharpest focus, and his absolute devotion into another person day after day.He gives Knox everything. Queenie just gets the scraps.“Get up,” I say. Gently but firmly. “Off the floor, Nathaniel. This isn’t a briefing room and I’m not Knox and you don’t need to be on your knees for this conversation.”He gets up and sits back in the chair. His eyes are wet and he doesn’t wipe them and the vulnerability of that — Nathaniel allowing someone
