KNOX’S POV

He 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 stutter into silence, see Harrison’s mask flicker for just a moment before sliding back into place.

“I beg your pardon?”

I lean back in my chair, letting a slow grin spread across my face.

  • 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

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 426: JUST LIKE HALE VOLKOV

    EMBER’S POV“Marjorie,” I say patiently.“I have given this house everything!” She’s not listening. She’s past listening, gripping the bars like she means to tear them out of the stone and rip out my throat. “Everything I had, my whole life, poured into these walls and the people inside them! And I loved those girls. I fed them. I scolded them for their sloppy corners, and I sat up half the night when they cried over some worthless boy in the stables, and they were mine to keep safe, they were mine, and I had them! I had two of them in my own arms! And you took them out of my hands, and you threw me in a box! You’re a bloody killer!”“I found you sneaking around with a knife!” I snap. “In the dark, with your hood up, standing over two girls who weren’t moving, and there was blood on both arms, and when I asked you one question you looked at me like I was the intruder and attacked! What was I supposed to do, Marjorie? Curtsey? Wish you a pleasant evening and go back to bed?”“You were

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 425: THE CRY OF A MOTHER

    EMBER’S POVI go through The Sovereign like something’s chasing me, and maybe something is.The holding level is cold and totally untouched by the chaos upstairs. I stop just outside the cell.Marjorie is facing the back wall, her body sagging against the stone. She turns at the sound of my footsteps. Her bloodshot eyes meet mine. They go wide for a single second, and then they sharpen with unbridled resentment.She looks weathered and miserable, her skin covered in grime. She is nothing like the woman who welcomed me on my first day.My chest twists, but I force the sympathy down. Nothing is certain right now, and I shouldn’t feel pity just yet.“Hello, Marjorie.” I find my voice, but it comes out far weaker than I want. I swallow hard and step right up to the bars. “I just wanted to make sure they were treating you fairly down here.”Marjorie only stares dead-eyed for a second. Then she rolls her eyes and sags back against the wall.I drag in a sharp breath.“Listen. I know things m

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 424: OUR BLOOD ENDS HERE

    EMBER’S POVHale’s spiteful eyes flash, and she opens her mouth to fire back—This time, Knox pulls me back and steps between us, more in control than before but absolutely furious.“Hale. Your rooms.” His voice instantly severs the argument. “You’ll stay in them, under armed watch, until this investigation clears you.” A beat. “Or doesn’t.”“You believe her.” The wounded fury in her voice would convince a saint. “Seven bodies in this room, and you’d stand in front of your whole household and treat your own blood like a criminal—”Tears pool in her eyes, spilling over her perfectly flushed cheeks.“I cannot believe this is you. I cannot believe she finally turned my own cousin against me.” Her voice breaks into a desperate, wretched sob. “You have been all I’ve ever had, Knox! And you are letting this… this stranger get between us—”“She is my mate.”Knox’s voice is a dangerous growl that seems to rattle the glass in the windows.“And you will treat your future Luna with your head bowe

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 423: DISRESPECTING HIS LUNA

    EMBER’S POV“Explain my face to you? How does that have anything to do with this?!” Her voice climbs. “If you must know, I slept, Ember. For the first time in weeks, my body finally let me rest peacefully, Goddess forgive me, and I woke up to this nightmare. I am grieving the loss of my favourite maids—the tragedy that has befallen this great house—and you want me to give you my ten-step skincare routine to satiate your superstitious insensitivity—”“Spare me the crap, Hale.”I don’t raise my voice. And that seems to frighten her more than if I had screamed.“Everyone else here might be fooled by you, but oh, Hale Volkov… I see you. I see all of you. And you fucking know that. We both know exactly what you’re capable of.” I step closer, watching the colour drain from her face for a split second as she almost stumbles backwards. “So, I’ll ask you one more time. What did you do to those girls? Whatever bought you this nauseating shine at their expense… what was it?”The whole room has s
