Zane

The 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

  • BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE   CHAPTER 97: PART 1: HAVING HER BACK IN MY ARMS

    ZaneI come back home feeling defeated. I couldn’t find Katarina all night.“Alpha Zane! Good morning. Any luck with Katarina?” Roselyn asks, hopeful, looking for any sign of good news.“No,” I mutter, shaking my head as I try to avoid her gaze. I can’t be seen like this, looking beaten and exhausted. I head upstairs to my room.“You didn’t come back last night,” she notes, concerned, following behind me.“No.”“You look… terrible,” she says honestly, hoping not to get on my nerves. “I’m going to get you some breakfast so you can rest after eating.”I barely acknowledge her. Until I find Katarina, there’s no way in hell I’m resting.“I’ll be fine,” I say, continuing to climb the stairs to my room.“At least eat breakfast,” she calls after me. “I’ll bring it to you.”“Roselyn, now you’re annoying. Get lost,” I snap, my frustration rising.She sighs and resigns herself, quietly walking away. Roselyn always means well, but right now, all I want is to see Katarina.I shut my door behind m

    ZaneMagdalena and I arrive just in time to catch the bastard. “Don’t you dare take another step, Augustine!” I roar, just as he’s about to get into a car and run away again from the chaos he’s created. He stops and turns around with a smug expression on his face.“Alpha Zane, how unpleasant it is to see you,” he says sarcastically.“You escaped the first time, but this time, I’ll kill you myself,” I say, my eyes glowing red as my claws extend. Katarina just has to understand—Augustine has to die. I let out a low growl, ready to lunge at him.Now he’s afraid—I can smell it. His heart races as he senses the danger of my vengeance. But then, I hear something else. A scream. Katarina’s scream. Her heartbeat is erratic. Something’s wrong.“Alpha Zane!” Magdalena calls, sensing my hesitation as I prepare to attack Augustine.“Katarina…” I murmur, turning to Magdalena. She recognizes the look on my face, her expression already begging me to be reasonable.“I’m off to find Katarina.”“Alpha

    Katarina“Zane…” I start as he notices my nervousness immediately. “You can’t hold your art exhibition tomorrow.”“Why?” His brows furrow. “That’s impossible. The invites are already out. People have flown in from across the world. We’re going to make tons of money, and the wolf zone could use it.”“Please, you have to cancel it.” I stare at him intensely, needing him to listen.“Katarina, I can’t. And what’s this about?” He looks at me with growing concern.I’m struggling with myself—whether to tell him or not. I don’t want Dad to hurt Zane. I’m still a wolf hunter, so I’m stuck in the middle. I can’t let Zane die, but I can’t betray my father either.“Katarina, you’re nervous.”“No, I just… I just want to spend the day with you.” I make up an excuse.“We could spend the night together after the event.” He kisses my knuckles, trying to reassure me.“I know, but…”“There’s something more, isn’t there? What is it, Katarina? Tell me.”I take a deep breath, my heart pounding. “Please, ju

    KatarinaI stretch my neck, turning it left and right, then stretch my arms and bend, trying to straighten my back. We’re sparring in combat class today. It’s exciting because I didn’t have anyone to practice with when I lived with Aunt Mary. Physicals are my best part of Wolf Academy. It’s a good way to brush up on the skills dad taught me.“Well, Luna Katarina, let’s see what you’ve got,” Bex mocks, challenging me, and I take up the challenge. I take my position, rolling my hands into fists, and we start the fight. She throws the first punch, and I duck. She keeps throwing punches, but I bend, swirl to the left, then to the right, avoiding every hit. I swiftly slide my leg under hers. She misses her step and falls to the ground.“And you were saying?” I tease, standing over her, her body now lying in the mud.“Ah!” she grunts in frustration, refusing my hand when I offer to help her up. “This isn’t over,” she mutters before storming off.I turn my gaze to Cyprian and Cassandra.“How

    KatarinaThe tension in the room makes it so hard for me to breathe. I’m standing in front of the Wolf Council, and Zane is sitting with them too. All their angry gazes are tearing me apart because Dad escaped from the Fortress. This was all thanks to Cyprian and Cassandra, who helped me. They set the fire in the library as a distraction. We needed something important enough to the wolf clan to divert their attention just long enough for Cyprian to sneak Dad out of the Fortress and meet Francis, who was parked at a safe distance from the main gate. I don’t know how Cyprian managed to pull it off while I was in the library with Cassandra and still came back in time to cover it up. I’m grateful to him for getting Dad out—and to Cassandra too.The door opens, and Cole, the guard at Dad’s cell whom Cyprian knocked out, walks in.“Now we can start,” Adam says, and I swallow the lump in my throat.“Grand Alpha, Wolf Council,” Cole bows, honoring Zane and the other Alphas.“How did Augustine

    Katarina“Yes, it’s spreading fast. Cyprian, Beta to Alpha Ethan, found it. Some of us rushed in and are trying to stop it, but it looks really dangerous.”“Okay, I should go check it out.”“What about—” Cole interrupts.“It’s fine,” Zane says firmly, cutting him off. He then leans in closer to me. “Katarina, I have to go. There’s a fire in the Academy’s library.”“A fire?” I feign surprise, pretending I don’t know it’s all part of the plan to help Dad escape.“Don’t worry about it. Just finish up here. I’ll be right back.” Zane kisses me, his lips pressing possessively against mine, completely disregarding my father as if I belong to him alone.“Okay,” I murmur, barely able to speak.“Cole, Katarina’s still inside. Keep an eye on her, but give her privacy,” Zane orders Cole, the guard outside, before turning to leave.“Of course, Alpha Zane,” Cole responds as Zane departs.As soon as Zane is out of sight, I turn back to Dad. “I’m going to get you out of here, Dad,” I whisper in his e

    Katarina“You went crying to your friends, didn’t you?” Zane asks, his suspicious look softening into pity.I exhale deeply. I thought he was onto me. “Yeah. That’s what I did.”“Katarina, I know he’s your father. But he’s going to die, and you have to move on from him. You have me now,” he says, as though it’s easy to just stand by and watch my dad die without lifting a finger.“I’d like to see my dad.”“You know that’s not possible, Katarina.”“I know it’s not. But I’m asking, begging you to let me see my father.”“I can’t let you do that. Letting him live for another twenty-four hours is a privilege I gave you. I’m the Grand Alpha, for godsake, Katarina.”“I’m not asking the Grand Alpha. I’m asking my husband, my mate, to please allow me to see my dad. Please,” I hold his hand, my eyes pleading desperately as I watch the shock on his face when I call him my husband.“Fine,” he reluctantly agrees. “But it’s not going to be any longer than five minutes, and I’ll be watching him at al

  • BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE   CHAPTER 90: BREAKING DAD OUT

    Katarina I barely got any sleep last night. I’ve been trying to stay calm, not wanting Zane to realize that I’m losing my mind. The thought of losing Dad makes my heart race. Zane’s out, and I’m not sure when he’ll be back, but I need to act fast. There’s no way I’ll let them kill my dad—how could I? My mind is in complete chaos. I don’t know what to do; my life is a mess.Yesterday, Zane saved Dad. He didn’t kill him, and that got him into trouble. And now, he trusts me. Saving Dad will mean breaking that trust, and I don’t know if I can live with that. But I also can’t stand by and watch Dad die. I swore to myself when Mom died that I would protect him. I don’t want to hurt Zane or betray him more than I already have, but I feel like I don’t have a choice.I send a message to Francis: “My dad’s in trouble, and I need your help.”He responds: “What do you need?”That part, I’ll need to figure out. I blow out a breath. I need to get Dad out of wherever he is before it gets too late.

    ZaneI turn on the shower, letting the water wash through my hair and down my skin, rinsing away the blood. It’s smeared on my knuckles, across my body. None of it is mine. Most of it belongs to Augustine, the rest to the other wolf hunters.Coming out of the shower, I spot Katarina by the window, curled up on the floor with her hands resting on her knees, lost in thought. I dry off quickly, put on a polo and shorts, then kneel beside her.“My Katarina,” I whisper, planting a kiss on her shoulder. She pulls away, shrugging me off.“Don’t touch me,” she says coldly. She stands and heads for the door, but I speed there before she can open it.“What’s this about, Katarina? Is it Augustine?” I ask, assuming her father is the reason for her sudden coldness. “I’ve never hidden my plans from you. You know how I feel about him. Augustine will die, Katarina.”“I thought…” She trails off but I know what she thought. “You thought what, Katarina?” I press, wanting her to say what I already know.
