The cold air biting my skin as I stepped out of the hall made me shiver. The clicking of my heels was the only sound between us as we walked towards a black SUV. Varic had excused us—cooking up a reason why we had to retire early, but I didn’t think it was necessary. Everyone saw what happened and although they nodded in understanding, the whispers still followed us as we left. Varic walked beside me. His shoulders were squared, and his posture was still stiff. I could tell he was still angry, and that confused me. He was obviously still mad at Greg, but it couldn’t be because he had touched me. I figured it was more because he had caused a ruckus at the ball. Did that mean he was mad at me too? Probably not, I thought. Although I was at the centre of the calamity, I was the target, and not at fault.

My palm still tingled. A subtle reminder of what I had done—of what I had let them see, my pain, anger.

“What happened back there?” Varic spoke breaking the hazy of silence. “You knew he w

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 121

    Varic's pov I jolted awake, chest heaving, sweat pouring down my temples and soaking through the sheets. My heart hammered like a war drum, and for a terrifying second I couldn’t breathe. I clutched my head as I felt a sharp pain lanced through my skull, and the room spun around. “Alpha Alpha!” a voice called frantically. Hands were at my side, steadying me as I tried to sit up, though my body felt so heavy and my muscles ached. It was one of the maids, her face pale with worry as she propped me against the pillows.I suddenly started coughing loudly and the cough came out violently, ragged and my throat burned, my body shuddering with the force of it. Still, I forced words through the fit, my voice hoarse and broken.“W… where… Where is Nadia?” I rasped between coughs, clutching at the sheets as though they could anchor me.The maid froze, her lips trembling. Her eyes dropped, as if she couldn’t bear to meet mine. I stared at her waiting for an answer but for a moment she said not

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 120

    Nadia's pov The night was so dark and although we could see clearly at night, the night had an eerie feeling to it. I wrapped my cloak tighter as we slipped between the trees towards the direction from the map. The safe house vanished behind us in moments, swallowed by the forest, and only the crunch of our boots against the damp soil marked our path forward.We walked in silence, every step deliberate. My injured arm throbbed with each movement, but I forced the pain aside. We had distance to cover before dawn, and hesitation could cost us more than I was willing to pay.The air smelled of pine and wet earth, but beneath it lingered something sharper animal, musky. I slowed, tilting my head, ears straining against the night. Elara caught the shift in my pace and leaned in.“What is it?” she whispered.I didn’t answer at first. Then the sound came again: faint padding, heavier than a deer, lighter than a bear. A lone step, then silence. Something was trailing us.A moment later, the

    Nadia's pov I didn’t remember closing my eyes. One moment I was staring at the cracked ceiling, willing myself to stay awake, and the next I jolted upright with a sharp gasp. My chest heaved, my hand instantly going to my side where the bandages were wrapped tight.Elara was already there. She steadied me with a hand on my shoulder. “Easy. You’re safe for now.”I blinked at her, disoriented, then rubbed at my face. “How long was I out?”“Not long. A couple of hours. You needed it.” Her voice was calm, but the shadows under her eyes betrayed her own exhaustion.I shook my head, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “This was a trap. The rumor about the cure… it was meant to draw me out.”Elara didn’t deny it. She just leaned back, folding her arms. “You knew it was dangerous when you came. Greg’s clever. He knew you’d take the bait.”I clenched my fists, anger sparking in my chest again. “He wants me to burn myself out chasing him. He wants me broken.”“Then don’t give him

    Nadia's pov The rations scraped dry down my throat, and with each swallow, the weight on my chest seemed to double. I felt the pain on my arm as my hand throbbed under the bandage, but the ache in my heart was heavier. I leaned back against the chair as I felt a wave of exhaustion.Elara was still chewing quietly, though her eyes weren’t on the food. They were on the door, sharp but alert. She stood there silently pacing around from time to time to look out the windows of the safe house checking to see if anyone was coming close to the safe house and she was at it for a while, restless. “You should rest,” I whispered with a hoarse voice. She turned to look at me as she shook her head. “Someone has to be on the lookout,” She whispered. I gave a faint, bitter smile. “If you keep at it, then we’ll both be exhausted at this rate. We can take turns being on the lookout.” I said to her but the truth was, I couldn’t keep my eyes open much longer. My body was demanding surrender, no matte

    Nadia's pov We slowly made our way to the front porch of the safe house. The moonlight barely cut through the thick trees when we reached the old wooden cabin. The old wooden cabin was almost swallowed by vines and years of neglect and the building was already getting old but still stood strong. “This is one of the pack’s safe houses,” I told Elara, I said weakly. My arm still hurt like crazy and we needed to take care of this wound on my arm as soon as possible. During the skirmish I had narrowly escaped the claws of a werewolf that had lunged at me with intent to kill. Narrowly escaping with a deep scratch on my arm. Elara stared at the building with a concerned expression on her face. “You sure this is the place?” she asked as she helped me towards the front porch. “Yes, It borders the outskirts of our territory. I only learned about it when I was digging through the pack’s history and old layouts in the archives. Most people have forgotten it even exists.”Elara gave an unde
