Katarina

I clutch Zane’s shirt tighter around my body, trying to cover as much as possible. Quickly, I pick up my dress from the ground and wear it. I free my hair from the neckline and glance back at Zane and his uncle, Adam. Zane looks at me, and Adam does too. I feel so embarrassed. I look away, running my hands through my hair, pushing it away from my face. I dust the sand off my body.

What is wrong with me? What was I thinking?

I wrap my arms around myself, holding tightly, trying to regain some composure as I wait for them to end their conversation. I can’t hear what they’re saying; they’re too far away. But when I look again at Adam’s expression, it’s clear—this can’t be good. He’s yelling at Zane, and Zane stays silent, just listening. Adam glances back at me, and I quickly turn away, feeling the heat rise to my face again.

How could I have let it go this far? Why am I even here? I came to stop Zane, to find a cure for the wolf bite. And instead… I’m falling for him.

Gosh, Kat

    KatarinaZane finally shows up. I abruptly get up. Our eyes meet, and for a split second, I’m love-struck.“Good morning, Katarina,” his deep voice greets me, but it’s cold as he approaches me.“Good morning, Zane,” I respond with a warm smile, hoping to ease the tension.He frowns and I hear a low gasp from behind me—it’s Roselyn. I quickly turn back to Zane.“Katarina, it’s Alpha Zane to you. Do you understand?”“No,” I say firmly. “I’d rather call you Zane. I want to keep seeing the other side of you.”“This is the man that I am, Katarina,” he responds bluntly.I look up at him, confused. Why is he being so cold again?“We didn’t have a chance to talk yesterday after we came home,” I start, hoping to ease into the conversation. Maybe he’d understand and finally let me go home.“You mean after you ran off like a child?” he asks, sarcastically.My brows furrow. I swallow. “I just…wanted to process things.”“I see. And?”“I’ve come to a conclusion that’s better for both of us.”He nar

    KatarinaI close my room door. Thank God Zane headed to open the door, and I took the opportunity and ran upstairs. I didn’t stay long enough to know who arrived. I couldn’t risk Zane snatching my phone.I call Dad back.“Hi Dad, how are you?” I say as he answers the call.“What is wrong with you, Katarina? Why are you avoiding your fiancée’s calls and messages?”“What? Francis called? I didn’t know that,” I lower my phone from my ear and check through my call logs. I’m shocked. So many missed calls from Francis since the day I arrived at Wolf Zone. I check through my message box too. He’d sent me a bunch of messages. He was worried sick, and I didn’t reply. Why didn’t I see any of these calls or his texts?Come on, Katarina, you know why, my mind echoes. Zane. I got too distracted by him, I wasn’t even thinking about my own fiancée. God, I almost cheated on him with Zane.“Katarina, what’s going on? We’ve heard some unpleasant news about you. Francis and Jeremy are upset, especially

    KatarinaI sink into the bed, trying to catch my breath. I was so scared they were coming up after me to confront me for eavesdropping on their conversation. It doesn’t matter. Everyone here hates me. They want me dead. But I could never let that happen. I’d never let them kill me like my mother. Now, more than ever, I need to find a way to actualize my plan. They are all beasts and deserve whatever the hunters are preparing for them. Think, Katarina, you’re the enemy; of course, they wouldn’t want you here. Although, my friends at the academy seem to be different. What if they’re not? I can’t see them as different. All werewolves are the same—creatures I have to hate. There’s no good in them. And my new friends aren’t any different. Still, I can’t help but think that my friendship with them could be beneficial. I’m going to get as much information as I can from them. Zane wouldn’t know what hit him. I’d never, ever let myself fall for him like I almost did. He’s the man I have to des

    KatarinaI’m in the bathtub. Two out of the rest of the women scrub my body while the others watch. I stay quiet as they rub some oil on my body—I’m not sure what. I feel myself drifting away, lost in thought. I should stop them from touching me, I think. Yet, I don’t stop them. The next thing, they grip my arms and pull me up from the water.I’m out, with a robe on my body. I watch them sift through the clothes in my wardrobe until they arrive at one—a royal blue gown. I have no choice but to raise my hand as the gown drops over my body and flows down to my legs. Amira guides me, and I sit on the chair facing the mirror. One of the women pulls out a makeup box that I hadn’t noticed she was holding earlier, and they start to powder my face. They apply lipstick, run a brush through my hair, and let it flow down my shoulders. Amira looks at me with an expression that says she’s pleased with their handiwork, and I hate it. How could they just come in here and take charge of my life like

    Katarina“You have no idea, Katarina,” I hear his voice in my head. His words are so frightening, I don’t even realize when I fall to my knees.“I take no offense,” Zane’s voice echoes, and the murmuring stops. “I have chosen a brave, brave mate.” He looks at me, flashing a wicked smile as I stare at him, terrified and ashamed. Why did I get on my knees? Why do his words make my heart race? I watch him as he continues.“Katarina here is a wolf hunter.” I hear whispers spread across the room again. “She’s not just here by chance. I’ve brought her as a sign to the wolf hunters faction that the werewolves are in charge of Wolf Creek.”“Yes!” the crowd screams.“If Augustine wants his daughter back, he’ll have to surrender himself and watch her die. And he’ll die right after.”The wolves growl, “Yes, yes, yes!”I hold back a sob as I lower my head.“The wolf hunters are weak humans, just like her. We shouldn’t fear them. This is war. And we’re going to win!”And the crowd cheers for him a

I’m lost in my conflicting thoughts as it casts its light across the woods, reminding me of what’s about to happen.I stand, my hands in my pockets, watching, waiting. My wolf, Kris, paces inside me, restless. He can feel Katarina’s fear, her anxiety about to burst out of her chest. I feel it too. I want to go to her and tell her she’s going to be okay, even though I know I can’t. I’m the Grand Alpha; I must uphold the laws that have kept us for generations. Katarina has to pass through this to be a worthy Luna. I can’t shake the thought, though—what if she doesn’t survive? No. She will survive. She has to. Katarina is brave, and she’s a fighter.They’ve locked her up in a dark room since morning. The sun has set, and it’s time. The wolves have assembled, all waiting to witness Katarina’s fate. My Beta, Magdalena, and some other werewolves carry her out. Her head is down, her wrists bound. She’s scared, but she doesn’t put up a fight.

    ZaneThe scent of herbs and warm water in the air hits my nostrils as I approach Katarina’s room. I pause at the doorway, my hand on the frame, watching them silently. Roselyn stands by the tub, her hands gentle as she helps Katarina out of her dress. The fabric falls easily to the floor, revealing the bruises scattered across her skin. Katarina’s only wearing her underwear, so the marks are exposed. My brows furrow in displeasure. I hate that she’s hurt. The marks are still fresh, some darker than others, evidence of the fight that took place earlier. She’s in pain, but she doesn’t say a word. She’s just quiet, not her usual self. She only gets this way when she’s both mad and terrified of me. I’m usually the reason for her tamed demeanor. It doesn’t last long though before she’s back to her defiant self.“This will make you feel better, Katty,” I hear Roselyn say in a low voice, urging her to step into the tub. Katarina obeys, her movement is slow and careful. She lowers herself int

    KatarinaI step into the kitchen, inhaling the sweet scent of spices and sizzling vegetables. Roselyn is at the counter, her hands chopping them fast, like an expert, as she prepares to make dinner. The whole day has felt like a blur, and I’m still trying to pull myself out of the fog from last night’s chaos. I barely left my room. Part of me still can’t believe I made it out alive.“Hi, Roselyn,” I say, my voice quiet, not as bright as usual.She looks up from her work, her eyes soft as they meet mine. “Hi, Miss Katarina,” she greets me formally at first, but then notices the smile playing on my lips. She corrects herself with a warm grin, “Hi, Katty.”I can’t help but smile back. The sound of my nickname, ‘Katty,’ is oddly comforting after everything that happened. It reminds me of home. It’s a small moment of normalcy that I desperately need.“It’s good to see you,” Roselyn says as she stirs a pot on the stove. “I was so afraid for you yesterday.”“Yeah, I was afraid for myself too

    KatarinaI’ve been increasingly suspicious of Zane since he started making secret calls. Earlier, he snuck out of the room to answer a call from Adam, thinking I was asleep and wouldn’t notice. But I’ve been onto him. The werewolves are planning an attack, and Zane didn’t want me to know. I couldn’t risk him knowing that I overheard, so I played along. I can’t be mad at him. Of course, he doesn’t trust me. And he’s right—he shouldn’t.We just got back home, and our honeymoon is over. I wish we could have stayed longer than we did. Being alone with him in his beautiful lake house was an escape, one that made me forget about all the mountains between us. Now that we’re back, I don’t know what’s going to happen between us. The entire journey home was cold. He couldn’t even look at me, knowing he was lying to me.Zane strides off into his study and shuts the door without saying a word to me. I bet he’s off planning his attack. He still thinks I’m lost in the bliss of our honeymoon. Well,

    ZaneI wake to the sound of my phone vibrating on the nightstand. It’s Adam. And, It’s past midnight. I grab the phone and sneak out of bed, careful not to wake Katarina. She shifts in her sleep, her blonde hair spilling over the pillow, but she doesn’t wake up. Good.As I shut the door behind me, I press the phone to my ear. “What is it?” I whisper, walking toward the living room.“We’re moving forward with the attack. The wolf hunters will be in the woods by dawn,” Adam replies. “We’ll be ready.”“Good,” I say, anticipation surging through me. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to get Augustine within my grasp, outside of his safe haven. My every instinct sharpens, knowing the fight is near.“And Zane…” Adam pauses on the call.“Uncle,” I whisper, waiting for him to continue.“You know what this means. Keep your slave mate out of it.”“She’s Luna now,” I correct him sternly. “And I know, Uncle. She doesn’t need to know.”“Is she with you now?”“No. I’m in the living room.”He ch

Now, I want to create new memories with her.“Being here reminds me of the first time you brought me,” she says, her eyes sparkling. “I never, in my wildest dreams, imagined I’d come back here, blood-bound to you,” she adds with disbelief in her voice.“Neither did I,” I smile, grasping the surprising turn of events in our lives. I never thought that after naming Katarina my slave mate, she would enslave my heart with her contagious presence.Her brows furrow as if she’s remembering something. “You hated me.”“I forced myself to hate you, Katarina.” Now, I can stop denying the truths about us that I never wanted to accept.She exhales, glancing around the serene environment. “What if Adam shows up again?” she asks, her voice edged with apprehension.“No one will come here. I’ve made sure of it.” My fingers grip her chin, holding her gaze as I

    KatarinaI open my eyes, and the bed beside me is empty. It’s disappointing not to see Zane there. But before I can get out of bed, he walks in, holding a tray with breakfast. He made breakfast? I sit up, surprised but smiling. I can’t help but feel my heart swell a little. The hardened Grand Alpha Zane made me breakfast.“You made this?” I ask, my voice still groggy from sleep.He smirks, placing the tray on the bed. “Don’t look so surprised. I can do a lot of things.”I smile as I take a sip of tea. “Did you poison it?”He raises an eyebrow, giving me a look that says, Are you serious?“Too soon?” I ask, trying to gauge his thoughts.“Definitely too soon,” he replies, remembering the time I poisoned him with wolfsbane.I shouldn’t have made the joke. Things are different between us now. Zane is sweeter and all is well.I chuckle, reaching for a waffle. I take a bite and offer him the other half, which he accepts with a smile. I can’t stop smiling as I scoop some whipped cream with m

    ZaneWe enter the house, and reality dawns on me. It’s done—Katarina is mine for the rest of our lives. I feel something I haven’t felt in years: happiness. The war between my wolf clan and her wolf hunters is just that now—a war between my kind and hers. It’s no longer ours. From now on, I’ll only see Katarina as my mate, even if I never stop until Augustine and all his wolf hunters are dead. When they’re gone, she’ll realize I’m the only family she needs, and by then, I’ll have made her turn into a wolf. Lina was my family, and now… I’ll never let this new one I’ve just started go.Katarina follows closely behind me. I hear her steps—they seem hesitant. I can feel the unease coming off her as we reach the hallway and enter my room.She sees all her things already moved into my space, and she folds her arms. She doesn’t like it. I can tell by the way her brow furrows and her lips press into a thin line.“Why is all my stuff here?” she asks, boldly but still nervous.She has to unders

    KatarinaI walk down the Grand Hall toward Zane and Maik, the old seer who set our ceremony date. My heart is pounding in my chest. The sound of the musical instruments only makes me more tense. Is this an appropriate song for a wedding or a war? I feel all eyes on me as I take each step, and I can hear the silent whispers from every corner of the hall. I sense the angry glares from those watching. Weddings are supposed to be joyful, but this… this feels different. The tension is suffocating, but I force myself to keep breathing.I finally reach Zane at the front, and everything else fades. His eyes lock onto mine, and suddenly, the world seems quieter. He stares at me, breathtakingly, and his gaze drops to my chest, as if listening to the beating of my heart.His voice speaks in my head through our mate bond, “Focus on me, Katarina.” The connection between us is electric, like a current running through my veins. I feel grounded in his presence, and for a moment, I forget my fear, los

I lean against the headboard, the sheets still covering my lower body.“Good morning, Miss Katarina,” Amira and the other women who dressed me during the loyalty ceremony enter, their wide smiles greeting me warmly as they bow.This is new. I’m surprised. They’re treating me with a new kind of respect now that I’m about to become Luna. “Good morning,” I respond, matching their warmth.“Please let us help you prepare for the day. When we’re done, you’ll look so beautiful that Alpha Zane won’t be able to take his eyes off you,” Amira says with a smile, and the others nod in agreement, eager to start. It feels as though they’re almost showing me the same reverence they hold for Zane.Mesmerizing Zane sounds good to me. “Okay,” I agree, accepting their help. Zane has planned everything. I didn’t have to arrange my own wedding—no choosing colors, food, cake, or

You don’t have to bind yourself to him, Katarina. Not when you have someone else who likes you.”“What?” I ask, confused. What does he mean?He grips me desperately, his eyes serious and pleading, forcing me to focus on him as I stare at him in shock. “Choose me, Katarina. Zane doesn’t love you. He’ll never treat you the way you want him to. He’s still not over Lina.”I stare at him, stunned, wondering where all of this is coming from.Before I can react, he leans in and kisses me. For a moment, I freeze. But then guilt floods me, and I pull away quickly, shaking my head. This isn’t right. This isn’t what I want. I can’t be kissing someone else when I’m bound to Zane.“I have to go,” I mutter, stepping back. I can’t stay here, not like this.“I’m sorry Katty please,” Cyprian says but I don’t listen

I giggle to myself, feeling elated.Zane comes into my room and wraps his arms around me from behind. “Katarina, you didn’t give me an answer yesterday.”“Well, I’m not done thinking it over.”“Katarina, you had all night.”“Huh… I thought I’d be seeing a different version of Zane today, so I didn’t take your words seriously.”“I meant every word I said, Katarina. I want more between us. No more fights, no war. We’re going to be bound tomorrow, and I don’t want to be at war with my mate.”“On one condition: you’ll never do anything like that again or try to hurt me.”“Never. From here on out, Katarina, I’m only going to protect you.”It feels like I’m in a dream, but one I don’t want to wake up from. Zane’s so different.
