TRADING MY CHEATING HUSBAND FOR THE LYCAN KING novel Chapter 28

+25 Points

I am not, nor have I ever been, in a romantic relationship with Knox Volkov. Our entire public relationship has been a fabrication designed to humiliate my husband and damage his reputation.

The accusations about Gale’s sexuality and alleged infidelity are malicious lies planted by the Lycan King to justify his predatory behavior toward me. Gale Crawford has always been loving, faithful, and devoted. Any suggestion otherwise is a coordinated attack on his

character.

I deeply regret my complicity in this deception, but I acted only out of fear for my life. I wish to return home and repair my marriage to the man who has always protected me.

I am making this statement freely and request immediate protection from Knox Volkov and his associates.

Signed,

Ember Aragon

The paper crumples in my shaking hands.

I look up at Logan, horrified. “You want me to say Knox r***d me?”

“I want you to disappear,” Logan says calmly. “This is the price.”

“He never–Knox never touched me against my will. This is a lie. All of it.”

“I don’t care what he did or didn’t do.” Logan’s voice is flat, businesslike. “This is about

control. About protecting what’s mine. Sign it. Take the money. Start over somewhere no one will ever find you.”

My hands are shaking so hard I nearly drop the paper.

“No.”

Logan’s expression doesn’t change. “Think carefully, Ember. This is the only mercy you’ll get.”

“I said no.” My voice is stronger now. “I won’t destroy an innocent man. Not for a billion dollars. Not for any price.”

He goes very still. The air in the bathroom turns cold.

“I was hoping you wouldn’t say that,” he says quietly. “Because I genuinely wanted to help you. You’re better than this mess. You deserve an escape.”

“I don’t need your pity.”

But my body doesn’t listen. I’m back in Seattle. Gale’s hand around my throat. The sound of glass shattering. His voice in my ear, cold and cruel: You made me do this.
