“How do I know you’re not lying to me, Adam?”

“He’s not,” Maik interrupts. “He’s the man your mother came to see, Luna Katarina.”

I let out a breath, remembering when Zane and I touched the moon ball and Maik said I reminded him of my mother. Everything he’d said about her is starting to make sense now.

“Maik never lies, Katarina,” Zane whispers.

“How could you love my mother and treat me so terribly?” I murmur. It doesn’t add up. “You hated me right until this baby. You wanted me dead!”

“You’re right, I did,” he admits, lowering his gaze, ashamed. “I loathed your father. He kept Maria away from me and couldn’t even protect her, the selfish, controlling bastard.”

“So you conveniently forgot that I’m my mother’s daughter too?” I snap.

“No. But I thought you were more like him.” I see the guilt in his face. “Maria was supposed to escape with you so I could meet you. But she died, and I heard you became Augustine’s protégé, raised to be just like him, hungry for wolf blood.”

  • BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE   CHAPTER 145: COME ON KATARINA

    Katarina I feel so heavy. This is the third trimester, and the baby could come any day now. Carrying my child feels like it’s draining the very life out of me. I’ve grown weaker with each month, yet it becomes bearable because Zane loves me through it all. Maybe it isn’t about me anymore but about our baby—but every second of his attention, his tenderness, his care, I want to cherish while it lasts.Today, he went to meet with the Wolf Council. Five long hours have passed. He’s never left me and the baby alone for this long. I can’t sit still any longer. I’m going to the Council building to find him.q“Luna Katarina, I strongly advise against you leaving the house in your condition,” Roselyn frets as I sling my bag over my shoulder and move toward the door.“I’ll be fine, Roselyn. Zane will bring me back home.” I give her a warm hug before stepping into the back seat of the car, ready to see him.Soon, I’m standing before the giant red doors of the Wolf Council building.The two wolv

    Katarina He looks away for a moment, probably pondering if he can really give peace with the wolf hunters a chance.“I think that…” he whispers, his eyes dropping to my lips. “I love you.” His mouth brushes mine as he breathes the words. “And I’m going to kill Augustine and every single hunter from that night. Then,” he kisses me again, “you and I can give peace a chance.”“Zane…” I try to draw back, but he holds me. “Katarina, I’d never spare Augustine.” His tone goes cold instantly. “Your peace is far-fetched as long as he’s alive. If you mean what you say about unity, then you know your father has to die. It’s the only way.”“He’s still my father,” I mumble, unwilling to accept it.“We all have to make sacrifices for the greater good.” His thumb and index finger grip my jaw, his eyes locked on mine. “We have our child’s future to worry about now.”God, I feel responsible. “I had no idea telling my dad about you and Adam would backfire on our child. I’m sorry.”He lets go of my ja

    Katarina “Zane,” I murmur, feeling tense as my eyes dart from him approaching us to nervous Cassandra and Bex, both practically shaking. “He’s not here. It’s just us girls.”He turns his gaze to Bex and Cassandra, who nod, trembling like leaves, confirming my words.“I see you have company,” he frowns at them, stern.“Alpha Zane,” they both call out, bowing low to honor him.“We’re sorry, Alpha Zane. We thought you’d be longer at the Wolf Council meeting,” Bex chatters nervously. “We were just about to leave.”“You were?” I murmur, but Bex pinches me to stay quiet. I catch the code.Zane’s hard gaze shifts between my two friends. “What scheme are you two helping her plot this time?”“None, Grand Alpha,” Cassandra says immediately, lowering her head under his stare.“You all helped Katarina with her plans,” he points between them. “And where the hell is that Cyprian who thinks he can rival me for Katarina?”“He…he…we don’t know,” Bex stammers, tense. “I think he’s with another woman n

    Katarina Maybe I will finally become a wolf or maybe I won’t. Either way, I need answers.And if Zane’s outburst is what it takes to get them, then I’m willing to go that far too.“Please, Maik,” I whisper, wanting him to tell me more. “I’m begging you.”Maik’s eyes soften, as If he understands the pain I feel. “I’m not protecting your mother’s murderer, far from it, Luna Katarina. I swear on the Moon Goddess,” he assures me but then hesitates. “Your mother had an ally in the Wolf Council. He’s the one who knows the truth.”“Stop beating around the bush, Maik,” Zane demands. “Who the fuck is this ally?”“I am,” Adam replies.“Huh?” My head jerks toward him, stunned. “What?”“Adam, this isn’t a fucking game!” Zane yells. “If this is what Katarina needs to let her wolf out, then she damn well is going to have it!” He points at Adam. “This isn’t the time to protect Maik!”“I’m not protecting Maik,” Adam fires back, letting out a deep breath. “It’s the other way around.”He turns to me.

    Katarina“I’m not about to make love to you on this bed.”I laugh. “And why not?”He laughs with me as I rest my head on his chest. His hand glides to my belly.“We’re going to raise our baby together, Katarina,” he tells me in my ear, biting my upper ear.I smile.That’s a good sign.That means he’s not planning to let me die after the baby is born.At least, that’s what I think.We lie here, wrapped in each other’s arms, feeling the closeness, the peace.Just us.Listening to each other’s beating heart.And I can’t help but wish I can freeze time right now in this moment. Before it gets ruined.Alpha Adam returns with Maik snapping me out of my daze.I sit up from Zane’s chest.“Maik. Welcome,” Zane greets with firmness, clearing his throat and moving a bit away from me.“Alpha Zane. Luna Katarina.” Maik bows respectfully to Zane, then to me. “How do you feel, Luna Katarina?”“I feel like… my stomach’s turning into a giant ball,” I laugh, and for a brief moment, they all laugh with
