BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 66: KATARINA IS AN UNEXPECTED COMPLICATION
ZaneKatarina leaves the room and I let out a heavy sigh. My mind is still processing everything that just happened. Adam’s visit, Katarina standing up to him, and her ridiculous notion that there’s some good in me. I glance toward the door, half expecting Adam to come charging back in, but I know he won’t. He’ll be waiting for me to come running to him. And if I don’t meet him soon, he’ll think I’ve avoided him on purpose, and his rage will be unbearable.I shift my position on the bed, my body still weak from the wolfsbane, though I can feel my strength slowly returning. My wolf, Kris, has been quiet, but I can sense his restlessness. He never stays down for long. He’s always ready for a fight. The wolfsbane in my body doesn’t stand a chance against him. Kris wouldn’t let it torment him for long.“Good in me,” I mutter to myself, shaking my head. The idea is laughable. I’ve done horrible things even though I’ve only ever destroyed my enemies. I single-handedly wiped out all the wolv

KatarinaI walk into Zane’s room. That’s strange; I don’t see him. I expected to find him resting on the bed.“Zane,” I call. Maybe he’s in the bathroom. No response. I look around the room. If he’s not here, then where could he be?I check the study, the living room, and then the kitchen, but he’s not there. Could something have happened to him?Roselyn passes through the kitchen, and I rush to her.“Have you seen Zane?” I ask, worry creeping into my voice.“Good morning to you, Katty,” Roselyn says, shining her ever-present smile.“Pardon my manners. Good morning, Roselyn. It’s just, I haven’t seen Zane, and I’m worried. Is he okay?”She looks at me, as if searching for an answer on my face.“I know I’m the reason he’s not doing well, but believe me, Roselyn, I want him to get better,” I say, trying to persuade her.She looks at me wryly for a few seconds. “I believe you, Katty,” she finally says, still analyzing me with her eyes. “You should check your room.”I stare at her, puzzle

KatarinaI sit in the pavilion, watching students pass by, nervously twisting my hands in my lap. I can’t stop my mind from spinning with endless thoughts. After everything he’s done, I still feel this strange happiness that Zane didn’t die. Why do I feel this guilt? Why do I regret wanting to take his life when that’s the very reason I’m here? The plan was simple: kill the Alpha and find a cure. Yet, the thought that I could have killed him scares me more than death. I don’t understand why I feel this way. He stormed into my room yesterday to threaten me like he always does. He’s mean most of the time, and when he’s not, I’m scared it won’t last. My mind flashes back to moments when we kissed and how excited I felt afterward. Then, I remember our time at Glando, Zane’s family’s private lake. That was a different Alpha Zane—one my heart opened up to. My mind reminisces about how we kissed in the water, how he opened up to me, the words he said. I felt like I was talking to the real Za

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.

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

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

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 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

BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 85: EVERYTHING FEELS PERFECT
ZaneGlando is the perfect destination for Katarina and me. I only have fond memories of this place from the time I spent here with my parents. 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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 84: HONEY MOON WITH MY MATE
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 83: PASSIONATE NIGHT: SEALING OUR BOND
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 82: THE MATING CEREMONY
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 81: IT’S TIME: THE DAY HAS ARRIVED
KatarinaMy eyes flutter open. The morning of my mating ceremony has arrived, and everything feels weighed down with expectation. 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

Katarina“I don’t know if I can go through with it.” I’m scared out of my mind. He turns to me, his eyes warm and empathetic. Cyprian has a soft spot for me. He feels for me. “Then don’t. 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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 79: PART 1: WOULD YOU BE MY LOVER?
KatarinaZane asked me yesterday to be his lover, whatever that means, but I couldn’t respond. How could I? He sprung the question on me. It kind of feels good to know he’s falling for me too. 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. I knew there was more to him than he was letting on. I won’t lie—I’m fallin
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 78: SHE WANTS MY MAN
KatarinaI come out of one of the restrooms at the academy and turn on the tap to wash my hands. The door swings open, and Magdalena walks in. Of all people, it just had to be her. I quickly grab a tissue to dry my hands.“Look who we have here,” she says sarcastically, her tone filled with disgust.“Hello, Magdalena,” I say, trying to stay calm as I wipe my hands and toss the tissue into the trash. Grabbing my backpack, I start to walk away. If I want any chance of having a good day, avoiding Magdalena is my best bet.“Going somewhere?” she says, grabbing my arm. I look at her hand on me, then back at her, giving her a stare that tells her she’s crossing a line.“Oh, don’t exaggerate,” she says, removing her hand.“What do you want, Magdalena?”“You know exactly what I want, Katarina.”“No, I don’t. Tell me.” I cross my arms, waiting for whatever rubbish she wants to spill. She doesn’t like me, and you know what? The feeling is mutual.“Alpha Zane,” she blurts out, and it hits me. Th

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,
