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 bow
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
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 422: WHAT IS YOUR SECRET, HALE?
EMBER’S POVThe air leaves my lungs.Every single eye in the room snaps to me. Even Knox turns his head.A brief flash of confusion at Hale’s sudden pivot flares in his eyes, but it’s immediately replaced by a deep, searching interest.He is looking at me to see what my truth is. To see what I believe.And under the terrifying pressure of the room’s stare, I find something far more terrifying—Knox would take my word over hers in a heartbeat. No questions asked.“I—” I stumble back a half-step. “No. I mean—yes.”A fresh wave of gasps hits the room.“But I don’t think I read the situation correctly!” I add quickly, my heart hammering in my throat. “S-she said she wasn’t trying to hurt them. She said she was protecting them.”Hale lets out a sharp, incredulous scoff.“Protecting them? From what? Or was she trying to lure them out to where she could quietly finish them off without witnesses? Oh, please. What sort of sweet-hearted murderer confesses to their crime? Marjorie is a cold-blood
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 421: FUCKING GLOWING
EMBER’S POVShe’s been at the edge of my vision this whole time, near the third table, handkerchief pressed to her mouth, crying, and my eyes have been sliding to her and off her since I walked in, catching on something I was too distracted by the bodies to fully comprehend.Her grief is perfect.She sobs softly, she dabs, she trembles, she holds herself together with such delicacy, and anyone watching me glare at her would call me a monster.But I see it now, as clear as day.The odd thing my eyes kept fixating on, although my brain had not caught up yet.Hale looks radiant.No.That would be an insulting understatement.Hale Volkov is fucking glowing.There’s no other word for it, and it makes my skin crawl to have such a vain thought in this room.But… something feels deeply unnatural about her transformation.Her hair has a rich shine to it I’ve never seen on her, catching what little light there is. Her cheeks are full and high with colour, her skin smooth and impossibly fresh.T
