My mother's mouth tightened. "Ravenna. Do not misbehave in this house."
Freya's eyes moved over me before dropping to the black choker around my throat.
"You have some nerve showing your face here. Wearing that."
I turned my head, just enough for the leather to catch the light.
Then I looked past her at the man standing beside her.

The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 141: The Price of a Photograph
I’d changed out of my pajamas immediately. Entering a room of powerful information brokers looking like I’d just crawled out of Xavier's bed was too degrading, even if I technically had.Xavier leaned against the desk, sleeves rolled up and violet eyes tracking my every breath. A few paces back stood Kaelen, the silent architect of this disaster, holding the device that had just dismantled my peace of mind."The original data card came through a building channel," Kaelen explained, his voice devoid of emotion. "Legitimate route, but the courier’s credentials were faked. A ghost delivery.""Who sent it?" I asked. My voice sounded thin to my own ears."Tracing it now," Kaelen replied."Then tell me what we actually have."Kaelen tapped the screen and slid it toward me. Grainy shots of The Pit—my old place with the leaky ceiling and the brick that looked like it was giving up. Then, a few of me: walking out of a pharmacy, heading toward the clinic.I stopped scrolling. The air suddenly

The package arrived at 4:17 p.m.No logo, no return address. Though screened by security before reaching the private elevator, the plain black envelope Mrs. Gable brought into the study immediately shifted the room's atmosphere.Xavier took it without a word. He opened it with a letter knife, glanced at the contents once, and went completely still.I watched the shift from the doorway."What is it?"He did not answer immediately. He turned the single sheet of paper so only he could see it, jaw locked hard enough that a muscle jumped in his cheek. The bond flooded with pure, ice-cold rage so abrupt that Ciel flinched."Xavier."He looked up. His eyes had gone dark in a way I had not seen since the foundation tunnels."They sent it here," he said. "To the building. To this floor."He placed the page on the desk facing me.It was a photograph printed on heavy paper. Grainy, night-time, slightly overexposed from a str
The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 139: He Finally Saw Her
The knowledge sat in my chest like a stone the rest of the day.Someone had kept records. Dates. Locations. Injuries. The file had turned the years I thought were invisible into evidence. Every time I closed my eyes I felt the shape of it—anonymous entries that had watched me starve and bleed and keep walking.I lasted until late afternoon before it pulled me under.***The alley behind the Satin Claw smelled of piss, spilled beer, and wet cardboard.I was twenty. Maybe twenty-one. Time had already started to blur. My shoes had holes large enough that the cold from the pavement came straight through.I had not eaten since the previous morning. The half-sandwich I found in a bin had been taken off me by a girl younger than I was and hungrier. I let her have it. Fighting would have cost more energy than the food was worth.Ciel was quiet back then. He wasn't gone; he was just saving his energy. We had learned that panicking wasted c

I lasted until mid-morning.Xavier spent the early hours locked in the study on successive calls. Kaelen came and went once without looking at me. Mrs. Gable set coffee down and left again. The penthouse felt like a held breath.When he finally stepped out, I was waiting in the hallway."Talk," I said.He looked at me for a long second, then nodded once toward the study. I followed him in and shut the door myself."The file," I said. "All of it. Not the version you decided I could handle at one in the morning."Xavier walked to the desk and rested both hands on the edge. He did not sit."It is a mirrored archive from one of your father's external channels," he said. "It should have died with the rest of his network. It did not. Someone copied it years ago and kept it offline. It surfaced on a closed market two nights ago.""What's on it?""Surveillance and medical logs covering your six years after the disownment. Locati

Xavier's POVThe call came at 1:14 a.m.Kaelen did not waste time on greetings."Secondary file from Holloway's old external archive just surfaced. It was mirrored years ago and parked offshore. Closed black-market channel. Three potential buyers. One is still active."Xavier left the bedroom without turning on the light and sealed the study door behind him."Contents.""Medical and surveillance logs on Ravenna Holloway covering the six years after disownment. Locations. Injuries. Clinic visits. Known associates. Movement patterns detailed enough to rebuild entire months. There are also internal notes that still carry the original asset-marking language."Xavier's hand tightened around the phone until the frame gave a soft protest."Who is bidding?""Preliminary trace points toward a Silverskiöld secondary holding. Nothing clean enough for a formal accusation yet. But the connection is there."Of course it was.He stared at the dark glass and the city spread beneath it."Secure the fi

The quiet after the conversation felt different.It was not the controlled silence Xavier usually imposed, and it was not the tense quiet that followed one of our fights. This one sat heavier, like both of us had spent something we did not know how to replace. I moved through the next day in small, careful motions. Xavier worked from the study with the door open. He answered two calls in a voice that was shorter than usual. When Mrs. Gable asked about dinner, he only said, "Whatever is fine."Ciel noticed before I fully did.She remained close to the surface all afternoon, not agitated exactly, but watchful. Every time Xavier passed through the main room she tracked him. When he stood too long at the glass wall, staring at the city without really seeing it, she made a low questioning pull through the bond. He did not answer it.By evening the shift in him was impossible to ignore. The perfect, organized calm he had worn since the political threat ended was thinner. His movements were
