Caleen's pov

She stood rooted before the mirror, watching her own reflection. Her eyes were distant and unfocused like they were lost somewhere far, just standing there and staring blankly into space.

“Helen,” I called softly, but my voice slid off her like water on stone. She did not even move and stood there lost. She definitely didn't hear me call out to her.

I clicked my tongue and stepped closer, my footsteps deliberate against the stone floor. “Helen,” I repeated, increasing my tone this time, though still she did not answer.

Reaching her, I lifted a hand and tapped her shoulder. She startled just as I expected and blinked rapidly, snapping back to the present as though waking from a dream.

“It’s me,” I said smoothly, leaning down just enough to meet her eyes in the mirror. “Caelen.”

Her lips parted, but no words came. She only nodded, hesitant, uncertain, like a child caught wandering where she should not.

I allowed myself a small smile. She was a soft one and easily bent,

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 117

    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

    Nadia's pov The night was quiet, unnaturally so, the kind of silence that presses into your bones and makes your heartbeat feel loud. We had just cleared the first wave of attacks, our small group battered but unbroken. Two of my men had taken minor injuries, nothing that would slow us down but the tension in the air was palpable. Every rustle, every distant howl made me tighten my grip on my sword.“I want eyes on all sides,” I ordered, my voice sharp. “No mistakes. Not this time.”Elara moved beside me, her presence a steady anchor in the chaos. “Nadia… they’re regrouping,” she warned, her voice low, calm but urgent.I nodded, already scanning the shadows, trying to anticipate the next strike. And then it came the second wave.A mass of fur, teeth, and glowing eyes descended on us from the treeline. Wolves, larger than any I had seen before, their snarls echoing like a chorus of nightmares. The wind carried their stench sharp, raw, wild.“Form up! Circle!” I barked, driving my men

    Caeleen pov I arrived at the old trading post just as dusk bled into the woods, shadows stretching like fingers across the ground. The place was quiet, abandoned, yet the walls of the wooden structure groaned faintly in the evening breeze. Perfect for a clandestine meeting no prying eyes, no witnesses.I arrived silently, letting my men stay hidden among the trees, just out of sight. Only Jalen remained by my side, alert but unassuming. Every instinct told me this could go either way: a parley or a trap.A figure appeared at the edge of the clearing. Greg. Alone, as he promised. I studied him carefully the way he moved, the tension in his shoulders, the cautious sweep of his eyes. He approached slowly, hands relaxed but ready, every step measured.“Caeleen,” he said, voice low, wary. “I received your message. I hope your intentions are clear.”I gave a slow smile, letting the shadow of my teeth flash in the fading light. “As clear as day, Greg. We’re here to discuss cooperation, noth

    Caeleen pov The fortress felt different tonight. Quiet, subdued, almost too still. Nadia’s absence left a vacuum, and I could feel it in every corridor, every watchful glance that passed me by. Helen walked beside me, silent but alert, her eyes catching every flicker of shadow and movement as if reading the fortress itself.“This is our window,” I said, voice low, reverberating against stone walls that had seen centuries of loyalty and betrayal. “Every whisper, every glance, every command tonight, it bends to us.”Helen nodded, her hand brushing mine, a subtle anchor in the storm of thought. “They trust stability,” she murmured. “And we are the invisible hands shaping it.”I moved to the table where the orders had been prepared. Each sheet bore careful instructions: the reassignment of guards, the discreet promotion of loyalists, the strategic isolation of dissenters. Nothing alarming on the surface, but beneath it all, control shifted with precision.“See this?” I pointed to one set

  • He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate   Chapter 112

    Caeleen povThe preparations were simple, there was no fanfare, no unnecessary witnesses. I had chosen the chamber within the secret base for the ceremony. Its walls are lined with the dim light of lanterns flickering across the cold stone. It was a room that demanded attention, respect, and obedience, even from time itself.Helen stood opposite me, her dark hair loose, cascading over her shoulders, and her eyes fixed on mine. She wore a gown of muted silk no frills, no jewels, nothing to draw attention but the power in her presence. Every movement, every tilt of her head, reminded me why I had to secure her, why marrying her was no mere whim it was the next step in taking what was rightfully mine.I approached her slowly, letting my hand brush against hers. “Are you ready?” I asked. My voice carried the weight of command, of destiny, of plans long in the making.She nodded, silently, but her gaze was unwavering. I could see the understanding there, the acknowledgment that we were no
