BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 71: LITTLE KATARINA
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

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

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

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

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,

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

BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 87: THE ATTACK TONIGHT
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,
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 86: PLANNING THE ATTACK
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

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
