The " 'd " represent "had" in "I'd feared"?
"His face was incredulous with just a hint of the anger I'd feared."
If it's really "had", why does it use perfect tense not just the past tense?
Thank u first~

"I'd" can mean "I had," "I would" and "I should." The apostrophe basically means that word(s) are being shortened there and occasionally there are multiple possibilities like this.

Yes, it is "had"
It is the past perfect. It means he had feared he would get angry.
He got angry at some point in the past.
He feared at some point BEFORE HE GOT ANGRY that he would get angry.
Thus the use of the past perfect.
