Lahat ng Kabanata ng He Called Me Weak, Now I Hold His Fate: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Varic's pov “Is Nadia back?” My voice came out hoarse, weaker than I intended.The maid lowered her gaze, shaking her head. “No, sir. If she were, I would have informed you immediately.”A heavy sigh escaped me. I tried to push myself up, but my limbs trembled, my strength threatening to give out. She rushed forward, slipping an arm beneath mine to steady me.“Stand back,” I rasped, shaking my head. “I have to do this myself.”Hesitantly, she obeyed, retreating just enough to hover at my side. My body protested every movement, my chest burning with every shallow breath, but I forced myself upright. The world swayed, spots clouding my vision, yet I did not yield. At last, I managed to sit, leaning forward as a cough tore through me, sharp and rattling.“Sorry, sir,” she whispered, quickly offering me a cup of water.I accepted it with shaking hands, sipping slowly until the dryness in my throat eased. I set the cup aside and nodded faintly. “Thank you.” A pause. “I need to have a meet

Nadia's pov Nadia’s breath came sharp and shallow as she peeled his heavy arm off her waist and let it drop to the bed. He was still unconscious, his broad chest rising and falling in shallow breaths, but she knew it wouldn’t last forever. The moment anyone outside realized their leader wasn’t in control, all hell would break loose.She paced the small room, biting down on her lip, mind racing. She couldn’t just slip out not with Elara waiting outside, surrounded by wolves drunk on laughter and power. If she left her, Elara wouldn’t last a heartbeat.Her gaze darted to the door. She forced her shoulders to relax, adjusted the shawl back into place, and smoothed her blouse as though nothing had happened. A plan began to form, risky but the only chance they had.Drawing in a deep breath, she pushed the door open just a crack, poking her head out. The guards turned, grinning like jackals.Nadia softened her voice, sultry and sweet, dripping with allure.“Your boss,” she said, her tone s

Nadia's pov Cool air brushed over my arm as someone tugged at the soaked bandages. I wanted to cry out, but all that came was a low groan. My lashes fluttered, struggling to lift, and through the haze I caught the glint of a needle.Then pressure. A sting, sharp and swift, pushing into my skin. The warmth of liquid seeping into my veins.My lips moved before I even thought of the words. “Anesthesia…” The whisper cracked, fragile, and drifted away with the pounding of my heartbeat.My body grew heavier, the edges of the world dissolving into black. The voices around me blurred, urgency replaced by a distant hum, as if the room itself were fading.Still, in that sliver of awareness before the dark took me, I clenched onto a single thought: Don’t let go… not yet.Elara's pov I stood frozen in the corner, my hands clenched so tightly my nails dug into my palms. My chest heaved as I watched them lay Nadia on the table, her face pale, lips trembling with words that barely made sense.“Ane

Varic's pov The door shut with a weighty thud, and silence draped over the room like a heavy cloak. I sat upright in my bed, every muscle in my body protesting, but I forced myself to hold steady. Weakness could not show here not in front of them. The Beta stood near my bedside, his posture as rigid as iron, while the old senior wolves filled the chairs opposite me, their eyes sharp, weighing me like a man on trial.Caeleen stood off to the side, too relaxed, too comfortable. There was a glint of satisfaction in his eyes, as if he already knew how the night would end. Beside him, Helen lingered in a dress far too brazen for this council, her lips curved ever so slightly in a self-satisfied smile.My assistant looked around the chamber, papers tucked under his arm. “My lord,” he said after a moment, bowing. “All are present. The council awaits. The meeting can commence.”I inhaled slowly, steadying my breath. My chest ached, and every cough threatened to break through, but I would not

Nadia's pov The first thing I noticed when my eyes fluttered open was the faint smell of antiseptic clinging to the air. My head throbbed lightly, and when I tried to move, the weight in my limbs reminded me I was not yet whole.I shifted and found Elara perched at the edge of the bed, her fingers tight around mine as though she had been holding on the entire time. The sight of her exhausted eyes softened the tightness in my chest.“I’m fine,” I whispered, my voice hoarse, though the words felt heavier than the air. “We need to leave. We can’t stay here.”The doctor, still tidying up instruments on the side table, turned sharply toward me. “No,” he said firmly, his tone carrying no room for argument. “You’ve just come out of something serious. Your body needs time. At least stay the night under supervision. If you leave now, you’re risking more than just fatigue.”I tried to sit up, but the spinning in my head betrayed me. My jaw clenched. “I can’t afford to lie here. Not when ”“Nad
