RYDER I stood there for a moment, looking at her lying on the bed. Her face was bruised and swollen, and there were marks everywhere, but even like that, she still drew attention. She wasn’t the kind of person people could ignore. “I spoke to Simon before coming here,” she said, her voice calm, like she was trying to stay steady. “He got there in time to see everything. Anna locked me up, and Phil assaulted me and tried to rape me. He’s going to prison.” She looked out the window as she said it, like she truly believed it. I let out a quiet breath. “You’re too naive,” I said. She turned to look at me, and I could see the change in her expression. She didn’t expect that answer. “You think that’s enough?” I continued, my tone calm. “If Grant and Anna’s family decide to protect him, all they have to do is make a few calls. This won’t be as simple as you think.” I watched her face fall slowly as my words sank in. The truth was harsh, but she needed to hear it. “A livestream, e

GRANT I looked at Feyre, and for a moment, I didn’t recognize her at all. This wasn’t the quiet girl I used to know. She wasn’t hesitant, she wasn’t soft, and she definitely wasn’t easy to control anymore. Now she was standing there, calm and steady, like none of this was shaking her. It made me uncomfortable. It felt like I was dealing with someone else entirely. In my mind, there was only one explanation. She was using this situation to take Anna down. Maybe she thought if Anna fell, I would choose her instead. That had to be it. “The case has already been escalated to the regional level,” she said, letting out a quiet, bitter laugh. “I don’t think there’s anything I can do now.” I frowned. “Don’t let Simon fill your head with nonsense,” I said, my tone turning colder. “He’s not someone you should trust. I’ll deal with him soon.” I stepped closer. “Feyre, I’m telling you one last time,” I said. “Drop the charges. Don’t push me.” Before she could respond, another voice

FEYRE I was asleep. Or at least, I thought I was. My body was exhausted, but my mind wouldn’t rest, and when I finally drifted off, it wasn’t peaceful. I was dreaming. It felt too real. I saw myself as a child again, small and hopeful, standing in front of strangers who were smiling at me like they already owned me. A couple had come to adopt me. I remembered how happy I was that day, how I thought that was finally it, that I had found a home. But not long after they took me in, the woman got pregnant. Everything changed after that. The moment they had their own child, I stopped mattering. They didn’t want me anymore. So they sent me back. Just like that. I wasn’t abandoned once. I was abandoned again and again. Even before that, my real parents had already given me up. And after that, every year, new people would come, asking for tests, asking questions, making me believe there was still a chance. Every time, I waited. Every time, I hoped. And every time, I was di

FEYRE By noon that day, the officers finally called with the lab results, and the moment Simon ended the call, the look on his face told me everything before he even spoke. The syringe had contained Ferinian Shadowrose, a highly toxic and strictly controlled dark herb, something that wasn’t easy to obtain, something that ordinary people couldn’t even get close to, and just a small dose of it was enough to kill. For a moment, neither of us spoke, because the weight of that truth settled heavily in the room, pressing down on everything. I felt a chill run through me. Who would go that far just to kill me? Someone like me was already at the bottom, someone people ignored, someone they could push around without consequences, someone who didn’t have power, influence, or protection. Even if I lived, I wasn’t a threat to anyone. So why? Why go through so much trouble just to make sure I died? “Feyre, think carefully,” Simon said, his tone serious as he looked at me. “Are you absolut

FEYRE “Grant, Feyre isn’t getting any younger. It’s time she settles down,” Anna said, her tone soft but layered with meaning, like every word had been carefully chosen to push things in the direction she wanted. I froze for a second, then slowly clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as my breathing started to grow uneven. “I’ll feel more at ease becoming your mate once I’ve seen her settle down too,” she continued, her voice gentle but firm. “Otherwise, I’ll always feel guilty toward her.” There it was. That was her real intention. She didn’t just want to win. She wanted me gone. Not just pushed aside, but completely removed, tied to someone else so I would never be able to stand in her way again. “Miss Anna,” I said, my voice sharp as I pointed toward the door, “my life and who I choose to be with is none of your concern, so you can stop pretending like this has anything to do with guilt and just leave.” She didn’t react to me. Instead, she turned to Grant, her

FEYRE “And one more thing,” Ryder said, his tone calm and direct, like he was discussing something routine instead of something that could change my life. “During the course of the relationship, I want a child.” My breath caught slightly, and for a moment, my mind went blank as I tried to process what he had just said. Did that mean we would have to act like a real mated couple? Did that mean everything that came with it? Ryder seemed to notice the shift in my expression, but he didn’t react emotionally, he simply continued speaking. “If you’re not comfortable with physical intimacy, I’m willing to proceed with AVT,” he said. “Either way, before my grandfather passes, I want him to see a grandchild.” I blinked, still trying to catch up. “What’s AVT?” I asked. He moved toward the window and leaned against it, his posture relaxed, but his tone still steady and controlled. “Alpha Vital Transference,” he explained. “It’s a method that allows conception without physical intimacy.

FEYRE I watched as Anna’s hands curled into fists, her nails digging into her palms as she turned sharply toward Grant, clearly expecting him to react on her behalf. “Grant, did you hear what she just said” Grant didn’t even look at her properly, he just rubbed his temples like he was already tired of everything, then lifted his head and looked straight at me. “Feyre, come here,” he said in a low voice. There it was again. That tone. That expectation. He still thought I would listen. He still thought I would obey. “Ryder might be helping you now,” he continued, his voice calm but edged with warning, “but he won’t always be there. He’s only helping you because he sees some temporary value in you. You understand that, right?” I held his gaze, and for a moment, I almost laughed. That was how Grant saw the world. Everything was value. Everything was exchange. He believed Ryder was just like him. “I know,” I said calmly. “I know he won’t be there forever.” That was exactly

FEYREKingsley finished showing me around the villa, and once everything had been confirmed and I had signed the agreement without hesitation, he gave me a respectful nod and left, leaving me alone in a place that felt far too big for just one person.Not long after, while I was still walking slowly through the quiet halls and trying to get used to the unfamiliar space, Ryder called me through a video call."Did Kingsley explain everything you needed to know?" Ryder asked calmly, his voice steady as always."Alpha Ryder..." I still felt a little nervous seeing him, especially now that everything between us had become official."When it’s just us, you can call me Ryder," he said, a faint smile forming on his lips, one that softened his usually distant expression.I hesitated for a moment, feeling like I was crossing a line I wasn’t sure I was allowed to cross. "Alpha Ry... I mean, Ryder," I corrected myself awkwardly. "Is there anything I need to do?""I’ll be back in the pack next wee

FEYREEvelyn hesitated for a moment before giving me a warm smile and nodding. "Alright."I took another bite of the mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables and ground meat, and for a brief second, I forgot everything else because it tasted that good.So, this was how the rich lived, surrounded by comfort, never needing to struggle for even the smallest things.All that grace and composure I used to admire in Anna suddenly felt different now, because I could finally see it clearly for what it really was, confidence built on a life cushioned by wealth and power.My phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts, and when I glanced at the screen, I saw it was my high school advisor calling.Since I had involved the regional news team before, the school had been threatening to cancel my studentship, so seeing his name now only made me frown."Feyre, we’ve secured your Imperial College slot," he said quickly, his tone overly sweet. "The school fought hard to get you an extra place, so… maybe you

FEYREI listened closely as Evelyn continued, her voice lowering slightly as the story grew heavier."Alpha Ryder left the pack to study elsewhere, and he took Dora and her mother with him. The three of them lived together for a few years, almost like a real family. Eventually, Sir River couldn’t take it anymore and sent word that he would accept the relationship if Alpha Ryder returned. But before that could happen… she jumped into a river. Her body was never found. Alpha Ryder came back alone, with the child."Evelyn spoke like she was telling a story from a novel, every detail filled with quiet tension.I sat there, completely drawn in.This wasn’t just a love story.It was tragic… and a little unsettling."Why would she do that?" I asked slowly. "Didn’t Sir River already agree to let them be together?"Evelyn sighed softly. "People said she developed depression after giving birth to Dora, and on top of that, she kept thinking she was getting too old for Alpha Ryder. She believed t
