BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 52: FATED TO BE MATES
ZaneThe Wolf Council is already seated, waiting for us. Katarina couldn’t have come home at a better time. If I hadn’t seen her, I’d have gone to the academy to get her. I notice Maik sits in the center. He’s the oldest wolf in Wolf Zone, the one everyone turns to for wisdom. He’s a custodian of our wolf traditions. He talks with the moon, or so they say. Some claim the moon goddess kissed him, blessing him with this rare gift. No wolf in the zone questions his prophecies.Katarina stands beside me, shifting uncomfortably. “What are we doing here?” she whispers. She glances at the other Alphas, seated and watching us.I catch Adam’s cold stare at her, his lips drawn into a hard line. Katarina’s eyes dart back to me, uncertain. I can feel her confusion, her hesitation.“I was going to tell you, but then you came to me,” I murmur. “This is Maik. He’s an ancient seer, and he’s going to help us get the fated date for our mating ceremony.”She frowns. “Date?” she mutters, like she can’t b

ZaneAdam puts his arm around me. “I suppose this is the time I say congratulations, Alpha Zane,” he says with a wicked grin. I’m not sure he means it, as we leave the seer’s old building. “Let’s celebrate,” he adds, leading us to a nearby bar. It’s a fancy place, good enough for a werewolf looking for a good drink. A bartender places a bottle of whiskey on the table in front of us and pours it into our glasses. Adam picks up his glass and, in a loud voice, makes a toast.“To my nephew, our Grand Alpha Zane and his human mate!” he declares. The Alphas cheer, making wolf sounds as they clink their glasses together. Everyone drinks, except Katarina. She doesn’t even reach for her glass. Her eyes are fixed on something far away. Her mind is clearly elsewhere.I lean closer to her, whispering into her ear, “Katarina, you could at least pretend to be happy. You’re marrying the Grand Alpha, after all.”Her head tilts toward me, her eyes flashing with anger. “What… marrying a beast is suppos

ZaneKatarina bangs on the door as I walk away. “Please, Zane, please don’t leave me out here!” Her voice cracks as she pounds on the door.I force myself to ignore her. I’m not going to let her fake cries get to me or make me let her in. Letting her in would only lead to more defiance. She needs to learn her place. I’m her Alpha mate—she has to respect that or learn the hard way. I head upstairs to my room, determined to leave her out there.“Alpha Zane, are you really going to leave her out there?” Roselyn’s voice echoes in the hallway, hesitant. “Please, just let her come inside.”I pause, hearing Katarina’s banging continue behind me.“Please, Zane, let me in.” Her voice is weak, but I keep moving. She needs to be punished for what she’s done. I won’t show her any pity. “She’s lucky this is all I’m doing,” I say to Roselyn, walking past her.Roselyn blocks my path again. “Alpha Zane, she’ll learn. She just—she needs some time.”“I have given her enough time!” I bark. “She is hellb

ZaneKatarina woke up. And she just ran away. Ran out of my room, like… She was terrified of me. I don’t blame her. If I were her, I’d be terrified of me too. It must have been hard for her, being outside, in the cold, all night. Now it’s been a few days and… I’m not sure what’s going on in Katarina’s head. She has tried her best for the past few days to avoid me. She no longer comes down for meals. And I don’t force her to either. I get it. Maybe she needs some time. Maybe I scared her a little bit too much. Or, just the right amount. For a mate as strong-willed as Katarina is, she needs a hard hand. Only that a part of me is softening for her, making me question whether I took it too far. She hasn’t been to the academy. She barely comes downstairs. Roselyn comes down with most of the food she takes up to her. I’m worried. I know I shouldn’t be. But I am. I know that I shouldn’t care. But I do. I mean… caring could just be that. She stays under my roof, so I care that she’s well-fed.

KatarinaI hear a knock on my door, but I turn to my other side, my head resting on my arms on the pillow. I’m not in the mood to talk to anyone. Every time I think I’m over something Zane has done, he finds a way to do something worse. He’s unbelievable. Now, more than ever, I have to get back at him. I won’t let him keep hurting me.I finally have weapons to defend myself, and I can plan my attack. When I end him, the hunters’ faction will be so happy. But I haven’t figured out the exact how yet. How do I kill him and escape without getting killed? The door opens behind me, interrupting my thoughts.“I just want to be alone, please,” I say, rising and turning towards the door.I freeze, surprised to see Cassandra and Bex walking in.“What!” I exclaim. “What are you guys doing here?” I stare at them, feeling a wave of happiness wash over me despite everything. My expression must show it too. I’ve missed my friends.“We had to see you. It’s been days, Katty,” Cassandra says softly.“W

KatarinaZane enters the kitchen.I react on instinct, dropping to my knees and crawling under the counter. He can’t see me yet—if he does, everything I’ve planned will be ruined. I hold my breath, willing myself to be as still as possible, not even daring to twitch. His wolf senses are sharp, but maybe, just maybe, he won’t catch my scent if I stay quiet enough. His footsteps come closer, and I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to block out my racing heartbeat.Suddenly, I hear his voice in my head, so clear and confident, saying, “I’ve caught you, Katarina. There’s no hiding place for you.” I feel a jolt of panic as if he’s already reached under the counter and dragged me out.But when I open my eyes, the room is still. Nothing but silence. I crawl out from under the counter slowly, my muscles tense, and scan the room. Zane is nowhere to be found. It was just in my head. Zane left, and I wasn’t caught.I’m relieved, but I can’t relax yet. I glance around the kitchen, and my eyes land on

KatarinaI walk into Zane’s room, mustering all the confidence that I can with a smile on my face to mask my plan.“Hello, Zane,” I greet him with a cheerful smile on my face.“Hello, Katarina,” Zane says coldly. He looks surprised to see me, clearly stunned by my appearance.“I brought you water,” I say, showing him the bottle of water. He looks at me, puzzled. “Roselyn fell off a ladder trying to fix a painting back on the wall. She got hurt and now she’s resting.” I stop rambling, waiting for him to speak.“I’ll just go,” I say, noticing his eyes on me, mesmerized by me, speechless.“Wait, don’t go,” his eyes beg me to stay.Yes! I knew he wouldn't resist me. I smile to myself and turn back to him. “I’m sure you won’t drink it. You’d think I’m poisoning you again, but I only brought it so you wouldn’t scold Roselyn.”He looks at me, surprised. “Since when did you start helping wolves?”I meet his gaze, wondering if he’s being serious. “It was a joke,” he adds, sensing my hesitation

ZaneI reach for the water, my gaze locked on Katarina’s. She looks nervous—too nervous. There’s something about the way she’s watching me that seems off. There’s an anticipation in her eyes, I can’t quite place it yet. I twist the cap off the bottle and lift it to my nose. A faint scent hits me immediately. Wolfsbane.My lips curl into a dark smile. Did she really think she could pull this off? The scent is unmissable to someone like me. I’ve lived through battles against wolf hunters. I know their tactics and mode of attack. I know how they think, what they do. I’ve spent most of my life protecting my clan from their countless attacks, and I’ve survived their assassination attempts too. I glance at her again, and I see the panic in her eyes as she wonders whether I’ve figured it out. But I don’t say anything. I won’t confront her yet. Instead, I deliberately take a long drink, downing the entire bottle.Her face is priceless—pure disbelief, maybe even a little fear. She must have be

BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 77: MY ASH COLOURED WOLF MATE (KRIS)
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,
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 76: RUNNING FOR MY LIFE
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 75: LIVE OR DIE IN THE WOODS
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 74: THE PLAN HAS CHANGED
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 73: COULD IT BE LOVE?
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

KatarinaMy heart pounds. I take a deep breath as my back rests on the wall. I can’t let him see me, not after what I just heard him say. 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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 70: ACCEPTING THE MATE BOND
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.
