Katarina

I’m so excited. Everything has been going according to my plan. The doorbell rings, and I rush to open it. It’s Francis’ mom and three other women.

“Hello, Katty,” Mrs. Baker, Francis’ mom says.

“Hi, Mrs. Baker. Thank you for coming.”

“Sure,” she giggles “I wouldn't miss an invitation from my future daughter-in-law. I came with some friends. I hope that’s not a problem. I figured we’d need more hands.”

“Yes, yes, of course. Mrs. Baker, thank you so much! Welcome, everyone,” I say, greeting the three women she had come with. All hunters’ wives, I’m sure, as they walk in.

It takes us a few hours, but the whole place smells amazing with the delicious aroma of food. The kitchen is filled with laughter as we cook, and after all the talking and joking, the food is finally ready. The roasted turkey looks incredible, and the other dishes make my mouth water—green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and, oh my gosh, the prime rib roast tastes amazing. We even have a bake

    Katarina“I’m coming for you.” Alpha Zane’s voice whispers in my ear, jolting me awake. My eyes snap open instantly.“She’s awake!” Francis exclaims from beside me, relieved. “Doctor, come quick!”An elderly man rushes toward me, followed closely by my dad.“Katty,” Dad says with concern. The elderly man—who I assume is the doctor—begins to examine me. He opens my eyes wide, checks my temperature, and then steps back. “The worst is over. I believe she’ll be fine,” he says reassuringly.“What happened?” I ask, confused. The last thing I remember is hearing Alpha Zane’s voice.Dad leans closer. “You passed out. Francis found you unconscious on the floor.”I close my eyes and lean my head back, a dull pain throbbing behind my forehead. “Ah,” I groan softly, rubbing my temples.“Are you alright, Katty?” Dad asks, his worry deepening.“It’s the sound,” I mutter. “It’s too loud.”Francis, Dad, and the doctor exchange confused looks. Just then, Jeremy and his wife, Mrs. Baker enter the room.

    KatarinaHe’s gone.Why won’t he just leave me alone? I know I didn’t imagine it. He was here by my window. My eyes peer at the empty street where I think he stood before. I saw him, but then he disappeared. I think he’s doing it on purpose, playing mind games with me. It’s driving me crazy. Something’s going on inside my body, and he’s always in my head, torturing me. No matter how hard I try, it’s like I can’t escape him.I go back to lie down on the bed, hoping that if I fall asleep, I’d find some semblance of peace. But I can’t. I can’t sleep.I get up from the bed and walk over to the mirror. My reflection stares back at me, unchanged. I turn to my left, then my right, trying to spot something—anything different. Physically, nothing seems out of place. But I feel different, like something has shifted inside me.My mind replays the Alpha’s bite. I tilt my head, fingers tracing the four distinct bite marks on my neck. Anger wells up inside me. This mark… it’s a constant reminder th

    ZaneThe door slams in my face, and rage surges through me. How dare she shut me out? My fists tighten, the urge to break the door down rushing through me. It would be easy, far too easy. Kris growls within, pressing me to take control, to storm in there and drag her out.I stand there, muscles tensing, debating whether breaking the door is worth it. It would take a single hit to rip it off its hinges. But no, I tell myself, not yet. There’s no need to take it that far. She’s inside, and she knows there’s no escape. I’ll give her another chance before I let my patience snap.I press the doorbell, harder than I need to.Silence.I know she’s there, just on the other side. Her fear is oozing, drawing me in.The door opens, but it’s not Katarina standing there. It’s him—the man from the other day. My eyes narrow, wondering what connection he has with her.“You!” he spits out, trying to sound braver than he feels. “What are you doing here?”I fix my cold, unwavering gaze on him. His prese

    Katarina “I’m right here.” I step out the door, holding back the tears that want to spill. Here he is, threatening to hurt us, and I feel powerless to stop him. His eyes meet mine, and my heart skips a beat—I don’t know why. My pulse quickens, like I’ve just met the man of my dreams. Our gazes lock, and I don’t even realize I’ve been walking until I’m inches away from him. He inhales my scent and my head tilts back, my eyes closing as an unexpected wave of pleasure washes over me. Dad and Francis are probably watching, but I can’t help myself. He grabs my chin, his eyes burning into mine. I stare back, feeling like this is a reunion we were destined for. A wolf killed my mother. Wolves have wanted me dead. Alpha Zane wants to kill my dad and take me to humiliate him. But all the anger, hate, and pain swirling inside me melt in this moment, and all I want is to keep looking at him, like my life depends on it. I think he feels it too. When he looks at me, I feel like his woman, his lo

    KatarinaWe arrive at the wolf zone, and my skin crawls. I’m scared out of my mind. My thoughts flash back to the last time I was here—wolves attacked me, and I ended up injuring two of them just to defend myself. What will happen now that I’m in the lion’s den—or, in this case, the wolf’s den? When they find out my dad is Augustine, my life will be in danger.Back home, Zane didn’t let me leave with anything, not even my clothes. If he had, I would’ve smuggled a weapon with me. Now, I have no way of defending myself except by trusting my life to a dangerous Alpha who only keeps me alive for his revenge plans. It sounds like a terrible plan. Alpha Zane will probably let them attack me just for his amusement. He hates me—he’s made that clear. I can’t let myself feel safe just because he hasn’t killed me yet, because once he’s done with me, he won’t hesitate to take my life. When he’s not looking at me with those seductive eyes of his, he’s looking at me with deadly ones. Either way, I

He stormed into my home, furious, and forced me to leave with him. He hurt Francis and Dad. He’s a wolf, just like the beast that killed Mom. And he’s the Alpha—my enemy. He’s just given me another reminder of that.Katarina, you can’t get carried away. I tell myself. You hate him. Sing it like an anthem every day.His home is undeniably beautiful, but I have to see it as a prison. I’m in enemy territory, and I’m here on a mission. I need to find a cure, something that will stop me from turning into a wolf. And I swear, I’ll kill Alpha Zane for deceiving me, for taking advantage of me, and for making everyone think I’m a fool. I just need to figure out a way to get close enough to take him down. First, I have to find the cure, and he’s the only link I have to it right now. He’s the one who bit me, after all.The elderly woman grins at me. “Come, swee

    ZaneMy eyes devour her body with an intense hunger to taste her, a battle raging within me. I have two choices: take her now and consummate our bond, or walk away. The second choice is the one I should make, but I can’t bring myself to do it. My arms wrap around her waist possessively, pulling her body flush against mine. Her eyes lock with mine, and I can see the fear lurking in them, wondering what I’m about to do.My gaze falls to her lips, and I claim them, kissing her desperately, over and over. I don’t want to stop. She stirs a fierce, primal desire in me.Shit. I want to fuck her!Kris, my wolf, has been waiting long enough. Claim her! Fuck her! he roars inside me.“Stop,” she whispers.Kris pulls back, and I abruptly pull away. Doesn’t she want me? I stare at her, confused. I can smell the desire on her. So, why did she stop me?Control yourself, Zane, my mind warns me.I haven’t touched another woman since Lina. I don’t need to do this with Katarina. Mate or not, I can have

I have their attention.“This is Katarina Penn. She’ll be joining you this semester.”“Alpha Zane,” Miranda, one of the lecturers, greets me. She turns to Katarina. “Welcome, Miss Penn.” She doesn’t hide her displeasure, but she can’t disobey me either. Everyone settles down. They don’t want Katarina here. But I do, and that’s enough.“You can settle down, Miss Penn, with the rest of the class. I’m sure the Alpha has greater responsibilities to take care of,” Miranda says, trying to play nice to Katarina.Katarina shifts her gaze to me, displeased. “Please, don’t leave me with these beasts. I want to go where you go,” she whispers, her eyes pleading.I lean close to her, whispering in her ear. “They can hear you, Katarina.” I watch the shock and fear on her face as she leans closer to me, afraid.“A werewolf’s ears are a

    KatarinaI gasp, unable to control myself, my breathing coming in heavy. The ash-colored wolf with red eyes stares at me. There it is again—the draw I feel toward him. Slowly, I close the distance between us, lifting my right hand to his chin. As I touch him, my nerves calm, and my heart rate steadies. Being near him gives me a sense of safety, of protection.I stroke him gently, and his eyes close, feeling my touch.“Zane,” I whisper, staring at his face, and then I piece it together. “Kris.” His red eyes open, locking onto mine, and he lets out a soft, high-pitched whine, recognizing my voice. I lean into him, feeling as though I’ve found my resting place. He nuzzles me, making snuffling sounds with deep, affectionate snorts, his tail thumping against the ground.God, Katarina, you have to stop this. But I’m in awe, gazing at Kris. This is my first time seeing Zane’s wolf, and he’s beautiful. My mate is perfect—if I were someone who wanted a wolf as a mate. This is crazy.He sniffs,

    KatarinaThe cold bites into my skin, and I shiver as I lie here, sobbing, feeling like I’m crying from a heartbreak—or one that was almost there. I was starting to open my heart to him today, and he crushed it. Zane has made a fool of me again. How could I have been so naive? He deceived me, made me think he cared, made me feel like I mattered to him. But it was all a lie, just like before. Now, he’s left me here to die, alone and helpless. Aunt Mary was right—I should have listened to her.She always said, “Never trust a man.” I never really believed her until now. Maybe she was speaking from experience. Aunt Mary always blamed my dad—she said he’s the reason Mom is dead. She never missed a chance to talk about how Augustine caused her younger sister’s death. That’s why they aren’t close. That’s why Aunt Mary took me in, happy to drag me away from the life that killed my mother. And now it’s my turn. Zane has left me here, just like Dad left Mom. Just like love has trapped me in thi

    ZaneActions always have consequences, and Katarina has to learn that for trying to kill me. I have to punish her. If I don’t, then the council is right—the mate bond is clouding my judgment. And that’s not possible. I am Alpha Zane, and nothing, no one, controls me.I walk into the house and immediately sense her. She’s in her room. I wonder if she’s been waiting for me, as I commanded. God, I want to touch her—now more than ever. Snap out of it, Zane. That’s the mate bond talking. You’re stronger than this. You have to take control, or the council will see you as weak. Handle Katarina, I tell myself as I climb the stairs to her room. If you let her go unpunished, what’s stopping her from trying to kill you again?I open her door and see her sitting on the bed. She looks tired, like she’s been sitting there for hours, waiting for me.“Finally. I’ve been waiting for you,” Katarina says, looking at me with relief.“I’m back now,” I say coldly.“Yeah,” she responds, biting her lower lip

    ZaneI’m in a meeting with the Wolf Council, discussing the latest attacks by the wolf hunters. There was another one last night in the woods.“Alpha Zane,” Alpha Ethan speaks up, “We need to put an end to those damn wolf hunters permanently.”“I agree,” Alpha Hawthorne nods.“If we let this continue, how long before they’re at our gates, threatening to take our territory? We need to retaliate, Alpha Zane. And we need to act fast,” Alpha Ethan advises.I listen to their reports and advice carefully. “How do you suggest we move forward?” I ask.“I say we show them exactly who we are,” Adam cuts in, preventing Alpha Ethan from continuing, and Ethan leans back in his seat to let Adam, the head of the council, respond.“And how exactly do we do that, Uncle?” My gaze fixes on him, waiting for his grand plan.“Alpha Zane, we need to make an example of someone. And who better than Katarina?”The mention of her name makes me uncomfortable. “What about Katarina?” I ask.“Alpha Zane, you’ve let

    KatarinaMy eyes are locked on his, dazed.“Why do you think I didn’t let the wolf council kill you?” His dark gaze pierces mine.“I don’t know,” I whisper, clueless. I’ve tried and failed so many times to predict what he’s thinking.“I’ve had every chance to kill you, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Why?”“I don’t know,” I sob. Zane is a closed book. He hides himself so well, it’s impossible to figure him out.“Wrong answer. You poisoned me and then tried to kill me. Why am I still protecting you, Katarina? Why haven’t I killed you yet?”“I don’t—” I stammer, but he cuts me off. It couldn’t possibly be love, could it?“You know, Katarina. We both know,” he says, wrapping his arms around my waist.“There’s a long list of over five hundred prospective mates I could have chosen to be my Luna sitting in my study.”My eyes widen in surprise. Five hundred women? The thought repeats in my head. How is that even possible?“But Kris chose you. I chose you. The most difficult woman I’v

    KatarinaThe mating ceremony is fast approaching, and everyone at the Academy has been staring at me like I’m transforming into someone else. Except there’s something they don’t know: nothing is going to change because of some dumb ceremony. I’m still going to be the same Katarina. My phone vibrates in my bag, and I pull it out. Oh God, it’s Francis. I throw it back into my bag. Our last conversation didn’t go so well, and I’m not eager to talk to him. How can I even bring myself to tell him that I’m about to marry Zane? How do I even explain that? I guess I’ll call him back later.I walk through the halls of the Academy, heading to class. The whispers are endless. Some glance at me with curiosity, others with jealousy thrown in with hate—especially the ladies, as if Zane would have noticed any of them. I know what they’re thinking. I know they can’t understand why someone like me would be bound to someone like Zane. A wolf hunter mated to their Grand Alpha—that’s a wild card. I don’t

But, what If I run and he chases me?The door to the study swings open and Zane steps out, glaring at me. It’s too late. I can’t run off now. My chest tightens as I start to take steps back, praying he doesn’t attack me here.I feel threatened by his presence alone, his cold and intimidating energy.For a moment, everything is calm. I don’t dare to breathe.“I told you to leave Katarina,” his voice calls out, cold, mocking. “Hanging around here won’t do you any good.”“I helped you get better,” I spit, reminding him but from the look on his face, It doesn’t matter to him.“I saved your life,” I begin, and he tilts his head in disagreement.“Right after you tried to take it,” he snarls.I knew it was only a matter of time before he came for revenge. Foolish of me to think for even a second that he’ll let it go.“Don’t come any closer,” I snap, nervou

    KatarinaHis body is solid, strong, and the heat radiating off him spreads through me instantly. His lips are hot on mine, sending sparks of electricity through my entire body. The kiss is deep, hungry, like he’s trying to consume me, to make me feel every ounce of the pain and desire he feels inside. His lips taste like whiskey, rich and bitter at the same time. Beneath the alcohol, his lips are so sweet that kissing him makes my head spin.I let go in the kiss, not holding back, my fingers clutching at his shirt, pulling him even closer. His mouth moves over mine with such intensity, and it’s like his lips are saying everything his words never could. It’s more than just a kiss—it’s like he’s trying to tell me something, something he’s too proud to admit. Somehow, my body understands. It’s like my skin responds to his touch, like it’s always been waiting for him.His lips press harder against mine, and I can feel the desperation in them, the need. He doesn’t let go, like he can’t hel

    Katarina“I hate how he gets into my head,” I blurt out, slamming a book shut in frustration. The words come out before I can stop them. “It’s like he’s always there, no matter what I do. It’s not just the bond, it’s him. He’s inside my mind, and I don’t know how to get him out.”Cassandra watches me with interest. “You’re his mate, Katarina,” she says again. “That means you have the same power over him that he has over you. Get into his head the way he gets into yours.”Her words hit me. I’ve never thought of it like that before.“But how?” I ask, curious. Zane is always so dominant, so in control. I never considered that I might have any power over him. But if Cassandra is right… maybe I’m not as helpless as I thought.Before she can reply, I see Cyprian approaching us. Cassandra and I exchange a glance, both knowing it’s time to keep quiet. Cyprian can’t know what we’re up to.“Hey, Cassandra,” he greets her, and she smiles back, responding, “Hi, Cyprian.”He shifts his gaze to me.
