ログインRYDER I never took my eyes off Feyre, the corner of my mouth lifting slightly. Rita clutched her cheek, staring at Feyre in disbelief. “You hit me?” Before anyone could react, One of them rushed forward and swung a kick at Feyre. “You’ve got a death wish, ” It never landed. I pulled Feyre into my arms and drove my foot into his side. He went flying back, crashing hard onto the ground. A few others immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to charge. “Everyone, stop!” Kingsley’s voice cut through the chaos. He arrived with the regional guards right behind him. Good. My beta never disappointed. “Simon!” Feyre said in surprise. I glanced at her. “Who’s Simon?” “He used to be Grant’s beta,” she said quickly. “He left and joined the regional guards.” I nodded once. Simon stepped forward, his expression cold. “All of you. Come with us.” “You touch me and you’re finished!” one of them barked, still trying to act tough. “Simon,” I said calmly, “the evidence from four y

RYDER “With a daughter as foolish as you, your father can’t be much better,” I said flatly. “He should start preparing to lose that position.” I dialed immediately. “Kingsley. Come to my location. Bring guards.” I ended the call without another word. Joyce blinked at me, completely lost. She didn’t understand. That made it even worse. “Being this stupid actually takes effort,” I continued calmly, lifting my phone slightly. “Thanks to you, the evidence from four years ago is now perfectly preserved.” I had already asked Kingsley to investigate Feyre’s past. The bullying. The assault. Everything. And now, this idiot had just handed me proof on a plate. Feyre stared at me too, confused. “W-What do you mean?” Joyce stammered, panic creeping into her voice as she stepped back. She tried to leave. I stepped forward and blocked her
GRANTIt was my birthday, and the whole family had gathered.Anna sat beside me, dressed elegantly, already carrying herself like the future Luna of the pack.“Anna, how’s the mating ceremony preparation going? When are you two holding it?” my aunt, Justina, asked warmly, clearly pleased.Anna lowered her gaze shyly. “I’m ready whenever he is. It depends on Grant.”“Then what are you waiting for?” my aunt pressed. “Pick a date and get mated already.”I paused mid-motion, my fork hovering over my plate.Feyre’s face flashed in my mind.The sound of that slap.The look in her eyes after.“Grant?” my aunt called again.I snapped back. “I’ll tell you when we decide.”Anna’s expression stiffened slightly. I noticed it immediately.I sighed inwardly. I would have to make it up to her later.“Oh, right,” Anna added casually, like it was nothing. “Davina and I saw Ryder with Feyre at the regional market today.”My hand slammed agai
RYDERBlushing, Feyre grabbed my hand and quickly pulled me toward the food stalls, as if trying to escape the attention lingering behind us.“Ryder… didn’t you say we were going to keep our relationship private?” she asked once we had put some distance between us and the crowd.“I said we wouldn’t make it a big deal,” I replied calmly. “I never said we had to hide it.”She frowned slightly, her brows knitting together as she processed my words. It was subtle, but I noticed it.Sometimes, she could be unexpectedly expressive.I found myself wondering what she was thinking.“That’s the place!” she suddenly said, her voice brightening as she pointed ahead. “That’s the noodle stall!”Her whole face lit up in a way I hadn’t seen before.“The owner is really kind,” she continued, almost excited. “Back then, I didn’t have enough money to pay, but he still let me eat. He didn’t even ask for anything back, and he gave me extra to take away.”I slowed
FEYRE“Take whatever you like,” Ryder said casually.I swallowed as my eyes swept across the store.I had been here once before, back when I was still a student. I had saved up for weeks just to buy a small gift for Doris, something simple but meaningful. I still remembered how the attendants had looked at me back then… like I didn’t belong, like I had no right to even step inside. They hadn’t even tried to hide their disdain. In the end, they had practically pushed me out, laughing behind my back.And now—Those same types of people stood in front of me, heads slightly lowered, waiting for Ryder’s instructions.We were seated in a private VIP lounge, a section I hadn’t even known existed. The space was quiet, elegant, and isolated from the rest of the store, like a completely different world.One by one, the staff brought over trays filled with the newest collections—bags, jewelry, limited-edition pieces that weren’t even displayed outside.I blinked slowly.So this was how the rich
