Zyke and Shine are staring at me.
Their eyes are wide, frozen in disbelief—and I won't lie, I'm enjoying it a little. Watching the shock on their faces feels strangely satisfying.
In the novel, the author describes Zyke and Shine as a love marriage. After marrying, they move abroad. Zyke manages the Kael family's overseas businesses perfectly—responsible, calm, powerful. An S-class alpha worthy of pride. Soon, the parents follow him, choosing to live with their "successful" son.
And Zyren?
Left behind.
The D-class alpha. The disappointment. The mistake.
He stays alone in this country, burdened with the family's main business, carrying hatred, resentment, and neglect. Everyone looks down on him. Everyone blames him. And honestly… sometimes, I understand why Zyren became the way he did.
His family changed the moment they learned his rank.
Their love became conditional.
Their warmth disappeared.
Their expectations turned into judgment.
That kind of rejection breaks people.
