EMBER’S POV

The first thing I notice when I wake up is how sore I am.

The second is Knox's scent everywhere—on the sheets, on my skin, in the bite mark at the base of my throat that throbs with every breath.

I bury my face in the pillow and groan. My whole body aches in a good way, but it's still an ache. My inner thighs are sticky and tender, and I'm pretty sure if I tried to walk right now, I'd collapse like a newborn deer.

Worth it, though.

For the first time in years, I don't have to jump u

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 432: THE AGEING PROBLEM

    EMBER’S POV“I’ve heard her talk through the wall,” Marjorie says, her voice stripped of all its trembling. “She chants the same ugly words over and over, and it is in no tongue I have ever heard. She recites it for hours from strange, ancient books she guards like gold.”The chill runs all the way up the back of my neck.“And I have seen what she does when she is done reading,” she goes on, lower and lower, and I don’t stop her. I couldn’t if I tried. “I have watched her slide out of the hidden servant passages long after midnight, creeping into those girls’ rooms to stand over them in the pitch black whilst they slept. And then she goes straight to Celeste’s rooms. Three, four in the morning, without a single candle lit.”Her voice thins, dropping to an octave that spikes goosebumps across my skin.“I’ve watched her through the gap in the door, dressed in Celeste’s own gowns, turning slow across the floor. Swaying. Like she was being held. And there was no one there, Ember. I could

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 431: SIXTY-THREE MOONS

    EMBER’S POVMy mouth goes dry. A sickening weight drops in my stomach.A whirlwind of thoughts tears through my mind.Is Marjorie actually trying to say that Hale’s grandmother had something to do with the feral gene? The same madness that destroyed Knox’s family?But how could that possibly be? The feral gene was generational. It was a curse in their bloodline. Knox told me so himself.Marjorie’s words make absolutely no sense. What could Hale’s grandmother possibly gain from poisoning her own family?“A-And you had the same dream?”She nods, slow.“Weeks back. First time in my whole life.”My heart pounds now, a fresh dread spreading faster by the second.“And what exactly did you see, Marjorie?”“I saw multiple red moons, cast right over the Sovereign.”“M-Multiple? Was it seven?”She lifts her head. Her bloodshot eyes come to mine, and they don’t waver.“Sixty-three.”The air seizes in my lungs. Everything inside me goes dead still.For a second, my mind goes completely blank, gra

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 430: SWEET LADY IDA

    EMBER’S POVIda. So that was her name.Hale’s grandmother, whom Knox had told me all about.The woman with the sprawling library and the endless books. The woman who commanded Hale’s absolute, eternal adoration even long after she was gone.I could only lean closer just as Marjorie continued.“I was much younger when Ida lived here—well, lived is an exaggeration, but she frequented this house enough times to have her own room in it. At the time, I was being mentored under my mother’s supervision. And my mother, who feared nothing on this earth, warned me off that woman with a stern face. Keep clear of Lady Ida. Don’t take her sweets. Don’t ever be alone with her.” She shook her head slowly. “And that was the very thing that made everyone sure my mother had gone mad. Because Ida, despite all her strange ways and the lavish oddities she brought back from her travels, was kind. Truly, famously kind. A trader, forever off on some long road to the far places—eastern, southern, and even the

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 429: CRAZY OLD LADY

    EMBER’S POVHer face pales. Her brows pull into a tight furrow as she drags the memory back to the surface.“I didn’t read the exact hour off a clock, if that’s the stick you’ve come to beat me with,” she says, her voice hard. “I read it off Hale.”I freeze.“I watched her linger around that wing when she had absolutely no business being there,” Marjorie says, her chest rising. “I watched her slip out of those girls’ rooms in the dead of night. And every single time she walked away, their fever spiked. Every time she hovered over their beds, they faded a little more. I can’t tell you exactly what she wanted, but she always had this sudden, strange fixation on them right before they fell ill. Inviting them to shop with her, showering them with treats, insisting they join her for her hobbies.”I stare at her, the breath completely knocked out of me.Hale has been fixated on me for quite a while now, too.“The first night I tried to get the girls out and got stopped by the guard,” Marjor

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 428: CONGRATULATIONS, LADY EMBER

    EMBER’S POVShe sags back against the wall, and for a long moment, I think she isn’t going to respond. I think my entire confession meant absolutely nothing because her mind was already made up. I start to believe this was all completely pointless.But then she finally meets my eyes, and something solidifies in them.“Off the estate,” she says. “There is a healer in the town. A proper old one. Not one of the Alpha’s modern, fancy doctors. I didn’t care where we went, in truth. I only cared that it was outside these walls. I was convinced whatever was killing them was inside this house, so they could not stay here.”My eyes narrow, refusing to let her off the hook.“But that does not explain why they were unconscious. Did they consent to your actions, Marjorie, or did you drug them?”“Course I drugged them.” She says it like I’m slow. “They were half out of their minds with fever, crying, thrashing. You don’t move two grown girls through the servant tunnels at that hour without them ma

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 427: HELP ME FIX MY MISTAKE

    EMBER’S POVAnd the horrible part, the part that shuts my mouth entirely, is that it isn’t mad.Line it up the exact way she saw it, and I would have locked me up too.A strange new woman comes into the family house, showing signs and doing things that were not only horrific, but perfectly in tune with the only other devil she knows.So of course Marjorie, in all her wise years and stellar intuition, made us both out to be partners in the exact same crime.I let out a long-suffering sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose as a fresh headache starts to build.“She lured me in there.”It comes out quiet. Marjorie blinks. She was clearly braced for me to scream back, or maybe for my final act of villainy and laughter.“Do you hear me?” I take a step in, pressing right up against the iron. “I did not know whose room that was. Hale knew I was desperate to reach my wolf so I could save my friend, and she offered to help me. She lured me in there playing the kind cousin. She promised to leave m
