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.

    EMBER’S POV“Ember—”“And it hurt. Because all this while, I’ve tried so hard to be that one thing. To prove everyone wrong about what they think I am. I’ve tried to be worthy, Knox.” And here it comes, the real thing, the bottom of it, and the tears are back. “Worthy. Just—worthy. Of being loved properly, for once. Of being a mother someday, a good one, not like mine. Of being someone who rose above all of it, the eight years with Gale and all of it, someone who mattered. I’ve spent my whole life clawing toward worthy. And this—this thing inside me, this ancient, powerful thing that’s supposed to be the answer to everything—looked at me and called me nothing.” I press my hand to my chest, to the place where she lives, quiet now, probably smug too. “Why give me this if I’m useless? Why put something that enormous inside someone too small to hold it? What is the point of me?”Knox is quiet for a long moment.And when he speaks, his voice is low, even, and absolutely certain.He bypasse

    EMBER’S POV“Do you—” I pick at a thread on the blanket, not looking at him. “Do you think I’m strong enough?”“Strong enough?”“For my powers. For any of it.” The words come harder than I expect, and my cheeks go hot, almost embarrassed. “Because I don’t think you do. Yesterday, when you got mad, I think that’s the real reason you were so scared I’d die using them. Why you’re so scared. Because, maybe, deep down, you think I’m fragile. Some little breakable thing that needs saving. That can’t be trusted to handle what’s inside her without it killing her.” I make myself say the worst of it. “That I’m useless. Worthless. Without you, or without the wolf. That on my own, I’m just nothing.”His whole body goes rigid under me.“Don’t.” His voice comes out hard. “Don’t you ever use that word about yourself. Useless. Where the hell did that come from?”“Because it’s true.”“It is not—”“You might not say it.” I pull back to look at him, and now I’m the one with the hard edge, all the old wo

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 301: CAN WE RUN AWAY?

    EMBER’S POVHe takes my entire weight, sinking to the floor with me until we are tangled together on the thick blanket, right in the centre of that warm, golden pool of candlelight.He pulls me across his thighs, shifting his massive frame until I am completely caged in his lap.He is overwhelmingly large, a man built for violence, handling me like I am made of spun glass.One of his heavy, warm hands slides under my hair, his long fingers cupping the sensitive nape of my neck to tuck my head under his chin.His other arm bands tight around my waist, pressing me flush against the solid wall of his chest.He buries his face in the curve of my neck, inhaling deeply as if my scent were oxygen, holding me securely.I grip his shirt, utterly enveloped by his blinding heat and the grounding, intoxicating scent of him.His thumb traces slow, devastatingly gentle circles against my spine, anchoring me to the floor, to the room, to him.Under my ear, his heartbeat is a steady, enormous drum, a

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 300: UNFUNNY IDIOT

    EMBER’S POV“Hey. Hey.” He’s across the room, catching me in his arms before the first sob even breaks. His large hands cup the back of my head, pressing my face into his chest as his entire body curves over me. “No, no, no. Ember. Baby, look at me. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry—”He pulls back just enough to look at my face. He looks genuinely stricken. All the wicked delight is gone, replaced by a man who has just realised his joke landed wrong.“Rafael. Fuck, you thought he found us.” He drags a shaking hand through his hair. “I’m an idiot. I just wanted to get you out of your head; I didn’t even think about how you would react to the alarm. I’m so sorry—”“It’s not that—” I try to say, but he is already spiralling.Seeing a man this lethal completely lose his composure just because I shed a tear is so shocking that it stops my crying halfway.“I was trying to make up for yesterday.” The words come out in a rush, and he actually stumbles over them, which I have never once heard Knox Volk

  • TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING   CHAPTER 299: EMBER’S SURPRISE

    EMBER’S POVHundreds of soft, gold candles climb the walls in little glass holders. Overhead, string lights are looped through the vines like something pulled straight from a dream.In the centre of the space sits a low table set for two, decorated with actual flowers. Peonies. My favourite. A detail I mentioned exactly once, in passing, on a plane.Soft music plays from somewhere out of sight. A bottle of something is chilling in a bucket. A plush blanket is spread across the floor like the world’s most decadent picnic.The whole room glows with a warm, intimate beauty.I stand there, completely frozen, staring at the single least dangerous room I have ever been shoved into in my life.And standing around the edges of it, beaming at me, are Marjorie and Hale.And they are laughing.Marjorie has both hands pressed over her mouth and tears in her eyes from how hard she’s laughing.Hale is clapping, actually clapping, delighted as a child at a birthday party.And Knox — I turn around, a

    EMBER’S POV“Get up. Get up, Ember, we have to go, now—”Knox’s voice is wrong.That’s the first thing I understand, before I understand anything else, before my eyes are even properly open.His voice is wrong. Knox does not sound like this.Knox sounds like a man who has never once in his life had to hurry, a man the world rearranges itself around, and right now he sounds like the floor is on fire, and his hands are on my shoulders shaking me out of the deepest sleep I’ve had since Alaska.“What—” I’m already being hauled upright, the blankets ripped back, cold air slamming into me. “What’s happening, what’s—”“No time.” He’s got a shirt over my head before I can find the armholes myself, dragging it down, his face above me carved out of pure panic, the gold already bleeding at the edges of his eyes. “Something’s wrong with the perimeter. The east alarms went off, and then the feed cut. Security can’t raise the gate team. I need you moving. I need you with me. Can you walk?”The east

I felt it down to my
