The morning air was crisp, fresh, and peaceful—the kind of silence that didn’t demand anything from me. This was why I chose to have my breakfast on the patio. The sun filtered softly through the tall hedges, casting golden stripes across the table which held a breakfast spread that made my mouth water: waffles, fruit glistening with dew, a steaming carafe of coffee and some kind of smoked meat. A soft breeze stirred the silk robe of my nightdress and I kicked off my slippers, I placed my feet on the cold stone floor before taking a sip of the warm coffee. It was a perfect day, and the chirping birds were my only company. It had been a day since the opening ball, and I was grateful for the alone time before the next event.

I dropped my fork as I threw the last piece of waffle in my mouth before picking up a strawberry. Biting into it, a satisfied hum echoed and I closed my eyes and leaned back, its sweetness, a welcomed distraction. My thought wandered back to the event—the slap, Greg’

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 30

    Nadia’s POVI couldn’t breathe properly. I tried to take a deep breath a couple of times but I was still very much anxious as the moonlight cast long shadows across my room, but I barely noticed anything else around me. I was deep in thoughts and could only feel my hands were shaking as I laced up the black corset they gave me. As I kept asking myself if I could do this and remind myself to act as who I was pretending to be.Vanessa.I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Pale skin and dark eyes that stared back at me. My lips were painted red and my hair pinned up the way she used to wear it when she played her role as Luna. The dress clung like a second skin. I was really looking like the part. But inside, I was trembling.“Are you ready?” a voice asked softly from behind me.I turned to look at her with a smile on my face. It was Mira, one of the housemaids. She’d been assigned to help me get dressed, but her eyes lingered on my face for a moment trying to make out her actual th

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 29

    The morning sun brings an uneasy and heavy feeling that settles in my chest.The sun is barely breaking through the trees as I make my way down the hallway, my footsteps muffled against the stone floor. The palace is still quiet, that kind of silence that comes just before everything changes. I can still feel that kiss from last night, soft yet sharp all at once. But my mind knows better. Varic doesn’t do soft. Whatever that moment was, it’s probably already forgotten.I’m not sure what I expect—maybe Varic pacing, Aiden being smug, or perhaps some sort of trap—but I certainly don’t expect the war room to be occupied already.Aiden’s feet are propped up on the table as usual. A mug of something far too strong for this time of day sits next to him, steam rising from it. He grins when he sees me.“Morning, Princess. Sleep well?”I roll my eyes, about to answer, when the door behind me swings open.It’s Varic.He’s shed the softness of last night like an old skin. Gone is the man who he

    For a second, the air between us was so heavy I felt like I might choke on it. I don’t know who’s more pinned in place — me or him. His eyes burn through me, amber and wild and tired all at once.He’s the first to break it. “What were you doing at the door, Nadia?”His voice is low — not the biting Alpha tone I’ve heard him use on everyone else, but not soft either. It slips under my skin and pulls the truth right to the edge of my tongue. But I force it down.“I went out for some air. I couldn’t sleep,” I say, shrugging a shoulder like it’s no big deal. “I walked. Ended up here.”Aiden, still lounging against the wall behind Varic’s desk, snorts. “A midnight stroll right to the door you shouldn’t be at. How convenient.”I shoot him a look but don’t bother denying it. I fold my arms instead, chin up. “I didn’t

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 27

    I couldn't sleep. I'd tuned my pillow so many times, that it had turned cold, but the heat under my skin refused to fade. My lips still tingled from his, and I kept brushing my fingertips over them, as if trying to prove it had happened—that he had kissed me... Me.I hated how much I wanted to feel it again. Groaning, I rolled to my back, staying up at the ceiling. Part of me wishes I could go back to the moment and stop it before it had happened—to save myself from this twisting ache of betraying someone I didn't even know. But the bigger part, the honest part, wanted it all over again. Want the rough drag of his lips, the desperate rumbling in his chest.Stop it, I closed my eyes, but the images just got brighter. He said I was his. He staked a claim, and I didn't know how to feel about it. I pressed my palm to my chest. The word should make me feel this warm. Not after Greg. Not after being tied to

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 26

    Varic's POVThe fire in the study had burned low, but I felt no chill. I slumped in my chair like it was the only thing keeping me upright—boots spread wide, elbow on knee. Head hanging low. I could still taste her. Nadia. Blood flowed lower just by the thought of her.Why had I don't it? That damn kiss gutted me deeper than any blade. I didn't plan it— by the Goddess, I didn't even want it. I wanted to shut her up, to make her listen, to prove to her that at the moment, she was the one that mattered. But the second she looked up at me with those eyes, something inside snapped. When her lips touched mine, the world cracked open. I felt her tremble in my arms, not out of fear, but with want; she wanted more, demanded more.She was so responsive, meeting my kiss with the same intensity. I could still remember the scent of her skin, its taste of salt and fire and the heat of her mouth bruised again

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 25

    “Hey, wait.”He called out, but I had already crossed a few tables. It felt like a walk of shame, but I kept my head low and walked on.“Nadia,” he called out, now following me.My heart skipped a bit at the way my name rolled off his tongue, it sounded foreign like it didn’t belong to me anymore. I didn’t realize how much of myself was blending into the mask, becoming Vanessa, and the way he called my name sounded like he was reminding me of who I was."Nadia," he called out, harsher this time."Don't!" I snapped, spinning around to face him. "Don't say it like that."He stopped a few inches away. "Like what?"My eyes blurred, and I fought to keep the tears at bay. "Like you care. Like you didn't stand there and let her paw at me, laugh with you, flaunt to everyone present that you could
