TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 380: MOTHER
EMBER’S POVThe VIP court is quieter, richer, sealed behind another set of black doors — a private room of luxury and low gold light, a single low table, chairs that cost more than I made in a year of my old life.Cassian settles me in with a drink I have no intention of touching, murmurs that the mistress will attend me shortly, and withdraws.And then it’s just me, and Knox, and the pounding of my own pulse.Knox steps in close behind my chair, mask still on, and his voice comes low and rough and just for me.“Whatever she is when that door opens — don’t let her get her hooks in you. You get your questions. You get your answers. We get out. That’s all this is.”“And if she won’t answer?”“Then she answers to me.” His hand brushes my shoulder, brief and possessive. “Sit. Be the heiress. I’ve got your back — I’ve literally got your back, I’m standing behind it.”Despite everything, I nearly laugh, and it steadies me, and I settle into the chair.I cross one leg slowly over the other,
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 379: GET ME YOUR BOSS
EMBER’S POVI stroll down the line.I make it slow. I clasp my hands behind my back and move down the gallery of oiled, waiting men like a general reviewing troops she finds personally disappointing.And I feel Knox’s glare burning a hole clean through my spine the whole way, and I have never in my life enjoyed anything more.I stop at the first. He’s enormous, a wall of muscle, arms like historical columns, and he flexes for me, helpful.“Mm.” I tilt my head. I reach out and poke him, one finger into a bicep the approximate size of my skull, and he holds the flex, hopeful, quivering. “No. Too muscular. I want a man who can move, darling, not a man who can bench a piano. What would I even do with all this — send him to fetch things off high shelves? Next.”Behind me, through the mask, low and strangled: “Ember.”I sail on to the next.Lean, sharp-faced, a scar splitting one eyebrow, radiating violence. I circle him, slow, appraising. I lean in, and I sniff, delicately, and wrinkle my
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 378: HOMICIDALLY STILL
EMBER’S POVAnd my stomach drops, because there is no Mr Aster. But Merrilyn Aster does not drop her cover. Merrilyn Aster laughs.It comes out of me sharp and bright and just this side of unhinged, the laugh of a woman who has never once in her gilded life been told no.And I reach into my clutch and pull out the gold-cased phone Queenie bought for exactly this, and I hold it out to the pit boss like I’m doing him an enormous favour.“You want to speak to Daddy?” I say sweetly. “By all means. Let’s call Daddy.” I’m already dialling, already smiling, already too loud. “I do hope you’ll tell him precisely where his money’s going tonight. Tell him about the floor. Tell him about the men. Tell him I said the words engine grease into a telephone. Maybe this is the one that finally gives him the heart attack he keeps threatening me with — he’s been promising to disinherit me since I was nineteen, and honestly, at this point—”The line connects.“Merrilyn.” Nathaniel’s voice, but this time,

EMBER’S POVHe pauses. The polished host actually blinks, his elegant smile faltering.“Watch?”I turn to look at Cassian with the withering pity usually reserved for slow children.“Yes, Cassian. Watch. With his eyes.” I let out a sharp, highly irritated sigh. “Do I need to draw you a diagram? It is a strict sexual requirement. He is going to stand in the corner, perfectly silent, and watch me thoroughly degrade whatever grease-covered feral I purchase tonight. Knowing he is forced to stand there and watch me take my pleasure makes it exponentially hotter for me, and Jon the First here is my designated audience.”I wave a dismissive, jewel-heavy hand at the towering Lycan King behind me without so much as glancing back.“He is exceptionally good at maintaining eye contact and repressing his trauma while I get off. It is literally what I pay him for.”Behind me, I can feel the exact millisecond Knox stops breathing. The air in our immediate vicinity practically drops ten degrees, trou
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 376: LADY ASTER
EMBER’S POVA valet who appears to file his teeth for a hobby opens my door.And I step out into Casino Royale, Casino Royale on the invitation, the Slaughterhouse to everyone who actually comes here, and I make myself look bored.It is the single hardest thing I have ever done.Because the place is depravity made flesh.We come up out of the stone into a cavern that somebody has poured a king’s fortune into making beautiful and filthy in equal measure, gold everywhere, black marble veined with something that glows, honeyed light spilling from nowhere and pooling like liquor.And the liveliness of it is quite the surprise.Dancers are on raised platforms and swinging around gold poles, barely dressed and utterly unbothered, moving as though the music flows directly from their veins.A woman is reclining on a chaise being fed grapes by two shirtless men who are visibly competing for the honour.A fountain is running with something dark and effervescent, and people are drinking from it
TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING CHAPTER 375: INTO THE MOUNTAIN
EMBER’S POVThe mountain swallows the car whole.There’s no door or glittering red sign that announces this as the entrance to the most dangerous casino on the continent.A road runs straight into a wall of black rock. Just as we’re about to hit, the stone opens, and the car glides down a throat of polished stone, deep into the belly of the mountain, and behind us, the rock seals shut like a mouth finishing a meal.“Cute,” I say, because Merrilyn Aster is not impressed by geology. “Very theatrical. Someone’s compensating.”Beside me, Knox says nothing.Knox can’t say anything because Knox is currently a bodyguard in black, with a surgical mask over the lower half of his face, to cover a weeping rash so contagious and so grotesque that no sane creature will ask him to lift it.Only his eyes show. And those eyes have been promising me a slow and thorough death since the moment we left home, which, if I’m honest, is doing something for me.He’s also, at this exact moment, not perfectly h

KNOX’S POVHe 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 st

EMBER’S POVWhen I step outside the girls’ cabin with Rayana and Queenie flanking me, Rayana is mid-monologue about the caribou she’s planning to devour at dinner — something about sinking her teeth into tender, perfectly seared meat that borders on orgasmic — and I’m half-listening, half-scanning

EMBER’S POVThe laughter dies. Everyone’s eyes slide to Knox, who shrugs without a trace of shame.“Not much of a secret if you all already know.”“You could have at least tried to be mysterious about it,” Rayana sighs. “Where’s the fun in confessing things everyone already knows?”“You said write

EMBER’S POV“Finally,” Rayana drawls. “I thought we were going to have to hose you two down.”“Shut up,” I say, but I’m grinning. “Let’s go eat your caribou.”Dinner is a production.Rafael has transformed the main lodge into something out of a fairy tale — candles everywhere, a fire roaring in the
