TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 293: THE EMPTY ROOM
EMBER’S POVOnce upon a time, I would have. I used to be the kind of girl who blindly trusted a kind voice and a helpful offer, right up until the exact moment it put a knife in my back.I look at Hale, and the pieces suddenly snap into place with cold clarity.She doesn’t know. She said she sensed “something” on the lawn, but she didn’t see the fire. She doesn’t know about the gold, or the healing, or what exactly happened out there.She’s not trying to be useful.She’s fishing. She wants to put me in a quiet room, poke the bear, and see what kind of monster crawls out.“If it’s just a mental trick,” I say, my voice dead-level, “you can show it to me right here. By the fire.”Hale’s smile just turns a fraction patronising.“You need absolute stillness to find the bottom of your own well, Lady Ember. This room is an intersection. Maids, guards, the King himself walking through—the air is too disturbed. That room upstairs is dead quiet. It holds the world out. But suit yourself.”It is
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 292: THE WRONG FORM
EMBER’S POVI don’t trust the tea.That is the first thing I want on record. A woman who shoots fragile things out of the air for sport, who looks at a dying animal and feels absolutely nothing, is not someone I am ever going to trust.Hale presses a warm cup into my hands and steers me to a chair by the fire, clucking over the blood on my face like a woman who actually cares. I sit, and I hold the cup, and I watch her over the rim of it the way you watch a snake.“You don’t have to drink it,” she says. “I can see you looking at it like it’ll bite you. It’s only chamomile and a few things my grandmother swore by. Smell it, if you don’t believe me.” She settles into the chair across from me, unbothered, tucking her feet up. “I’m not offended. People have always been suspicious of me. I’m used to it. It’s the face, I think. I’ve got a face that makes people feel watched.”It is exactly the kind of disarming thing a dangerous person says. It is a flawless, calculated piece of manipulatio
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 291: I DON’T CARE
EMBER’S POV“Knox—”“I’m not finished.” His thumbs press against my jaw. “And if your plan to save her starts to look like it’s going to take you with it — if I see it coming, if I get even a breath of warning — I will stop it. I will sabotage it. I will lie to you, I will move her, I will burn the drugs and break the doors and turn this whole house against you if that’s what it takes to keep your heart beating, and I will not feel one second of guilt about it. So you can train, and you can learn, and you can chase Sapphire all you like. But understand that I am not on the table. You are not allowed to spend yourself to save her. That’s the one thing in this world I will not let you do.”The grey lawn is very quiet.My face is sticky with drying blood, and my knees are soaked through, and I’m looking up at the man I love telling me, in the gentlest voice he has, that he will betray me to keep me alive.And the worst part, the part that closes my throat, is that I understand it. I unde
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 290: BETWEEN YOU OR RAYANA
EMBER’S POVThe dove’s beak snaps open, and it lets out a painful, hawking shriek—a wet, bubbling rasp of pure agony that no bird should be able to make.I try to drop it, but I can’t let go. My fingers are paralysed, locked around it by the sheer force of the gold.The air scorches, thick with the smell of burnt ozone and roasting feathers. The dead grass around my knees bursts into smoking flames.I am pouring my life out into a dead thing, and the pressure is literally shaking it apart, its hollow bones cracking and pulverising as it twists into a shape that should not exist.“EMBER.”The roar of the world crashes back over me.Knox hits me from behind, his large hands clamping over my glowing ones.He flinches violently at the blistering heat of my skin, but he refuses to let go. He crushes his chest against my back, grounding me just like he did in the storage room.“Let it go. Ember, drop it. Drop it right now. Come back to me. Follow me back—”He uses the bond.It’s a desperate
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 289: LONG, MISERABLE VERSION
EMBER’S POVI stare at her. The heartbreak I felt a second ago burns away, leaving behind a cold, sudden clarity. I am looking at exactly what I refuse to become.“If you were right,” I say quietly, “I would be dead.”Hale pauses. She breaks the gun open over her arm again, her head tilting in curiosity.“I was the weak thing,” I tell her, holding my ground. “I was the one without fangs, without money, without power. By your logic, I should have just laid down and let the predators have me. But I didn’t lose. Because survival isn’t about deciding to become the boot that steps on people.”Hale’s smile twitches. Just a fraction.“You look at the weak, and you kill them because looking at them reminds you of how helpless you used to feel,” I continue, keeping my voice dead-level and absolutely steady. “You aren’t doing them a favour. You’re just trying to kill the part of yourself you hate. And if this is how you run things when you’re in charge, it’s a very good thing that Knox intends
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 288: SHOOTING BIRDS
EMBER’S POVThat’s the thought I leave the medical wing with. It follows me through the great, cold halls of a house I still don’t know my way around.More or less by accident, I find a set of glass doors and push through them, stepping out into a grey morning and a wide frozen lawn that drops away toward the tree line.I need air. I need to think.I need to figure out how a woman reaches a thing that lives inside her own chest and refuses to come when called, and I’m so deep in it that I’m halfway across the lawn before I register the sound.The sharp, unmistakable blast of a gunshot rings out.Then another.Hale is standing at the edge of the lawn where it meets the trees. An open shotgun rests across her forearm.She loads the shells with the unbothered competence of a woman who’s done it ten thousand times. At her feet is a small heap of something I don’t let myself look at directly yet.“There you are,” she calls, bright as anything. “Come keep me company. It’s dull, shooting alo

EMBER’S POVMy mother stands in the doorway, draped in designer everything as always.A silk dress in garish emerald that probably cost more than she can actually afford. Jewelry dripping from her neck, her ears, her wrists, every piece fighting for attention.Hair and makeup done to perfection, no

EMBER’S POVThe mattress dips sometime after three in the morning.I’ve been lying here for hours, staring at the ceiling, my mind running circles around the photo of Queenie still burning a hole in my phone.Sleep feels impossible. Every time I close my eyes, I see Rayana bleeding on the marble. S

EMBER’S POVI nod desperately.“Liar.” He pumps into me slowly, his thumb circling my clit with featherlight pressure that’s nowhere near enough. “You’re never quiet. It’s one of my favorite things about you.”“For goddess sake, Knox, please—”“Please what?” He’s smiling now, the bastard. Enjoying

EMBER’S POVI stare down at Knox on his knees, my pulse slamming so hard I can feel it between my legs. He's grinning up at me like a wolf who's already tasted blood, gold eyes glowing, fangs just barely peeking past his lip.I fold my arms, pretending my thighs aren't already trembling."What do I
