Zane

My eyes gaze at the half moon up in the sky. 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.

  • BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE   CHAPTER 147: WHEN I DIE

    Katarina “Me,” Zane offers himself.“No!” Adam refuses, unwilling to hear it.“Alpha Zane, you are the Grand Alpha. We cannot lose you,” the doctor adds, panic in his tone.“Zane,” I mumble weakly. He holds me even tighter. “I’m right here, my darling. I won’t let you go.”“She’s losing consciousness,” the doctor says, very worried now.“When I die, shoot me immediately with adrenaline to wake me up,” he commands.“Zane, your life is not an option,” Adam barks, grabbing his arm. “You’re my…” He stops himself, holding back from confessing to the whole room that Zane is his son.“Kris is strong. He won’t die easily,” Zane tries to convince him.“I’d hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but I had prepared in case everything went wrong.” Zane draws my silver dagger from his leather jacket pocket“Damn it, Zane. Don’t do this,” Adam begs, his voice breaking.He places the dagger in my hand. “My Katarina… it’s time to finish the job you came here for.” His hands close over mine, helping me gri

    KatarinaAnother wave of pain pounds through me and I scream again. My nails dig into Zane’s hand as my whole body trembles.We reach Zane’s car. He tosses Adam the keys and gets into the back seat with me.“Katarina, you and the baby are going to be okay, I promise.” He holds my hands in his, trying to calm me.And we’re off to the hospital, everyone else following behind.***It’s been hours. I pace the hospital room between contractions, clinging to the rails of the bed as the monitor beside me beeps in rhythm with my heart. An IV drips into my arm, and the oxygen mask hanging loosely at my side feels suffocating every time a nurse urges me to use it. I don’t know how much more pain I can take. I’m human, delivering a werewolf baby, and the labor is twice as hard as natural labor, or so the doctors keep reminding me whenever they come in to check on me.I dart my gaze to Zane’s terrified face. He’s worried for me. And the worst part is, he’s not wrong. I’m worried for myself too.“

  • 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

  • BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE   CHAPTER 144: I THINK THAT I LOVE YOU

    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 “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.”“Y
