BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 10: YOU WILL OBEY ME
ZaneMy wolves growl, and I catch the panic in her face as her eyes dart around, trying to trace the sounds. But they’re everywhere, hidden in the woods. Her gaze returns to me.“I don’t want to be here,” she says, starting to walk away from me.“Katarina!” I bark. “Never walk away from me,” I growl low, and her blue eyes lock onto mine—filled with fear. As the howls continue, she panics, looking around again, trying to trace the sound. Then, she turns back to me.“I want to go home,” she says. “Please,” she begs.Fine. I admit it. It’s too dangerous for her to stay any longer, not with my wolves out and on the hunt.“Let’s go then,” I say, my dark gaze pinning her in place.“What?” She looks at me, shocked.“I’m taking you home,” I reply coldly.“No, you can’t. I want to go alone.”“Why?” I bite back. “It’s not safe for you to go home all by yourself,” I say, my tone still cold.She scoffs, chuckling bitterly. “Safe? You care about my safety?” She points at me. “Since when do you car

ZaneThe mate bond pulls at me. I fight it. I should let Magdalena kill her—that’s what she deserves. I save her life from my wolves, and still she does this. The wolves are my responsibility; I have to keep them safe, and if she’s hell-bent on attacking us, then she’ll have to die. Mate or not. But the mate bond overwhelms me. Instinctively, I have to protect her.“Stop,” I command, gripping Magdalena’s wrist and pulling her back down. “I’ll handle her.”Hesitating, she glares at me. “The last time you said you’d handle her, and now look what happened. Maybe I should be the one to handle her.”She sparks the rage in me. “How dare you question me?” I snap.Although she’s right, I should have handled Katarina myself from the first day we met. But fate had a different plan, making her my mate. Even though I know it complicates everything, I should kill her.Am I only making excuses to keep her alive?I could end her right here, right now, and watch Augustine’s pathetic face as he grieve

KatarinaMy eyes dart between Alpha Zane and Francis, watching the tension between them build with each passing second. Zane’s energy is overwhelming, even dangerous, and Francis is no match for him. I can feel the testosterone and dominance rolling off Zane, and if I don’t act quickly, this will end badly. I have to do something, otherwise they could attack each other. I doubt Francis would make it out alive if he enters into a confrontation with Alpha Zane.What do I do?I have to think really fast. The only thing that comes to my mind is to separate them.I throw myself between them just as their faces are inches from each other, barely avoiding a full-blown confrontation. If I walk away with Francis now, without speaking with Alpha Zane, it will only fuel his anger. I don’t know why but I think he hates it when I leave without his permission. He’s always infuriated when I walk out on him. Maybe he finds it weird. For whatever reason, it seems to trigger something primal in him.I

KatarinaI stare at Francis. “What else? To humiliate me, obviously,” I quickly say, trying to deflect.“Don’t worry, Katty. The next time I see him, I’ll take care of him for you,” he says, his thumb gently rubbing my cheek. He leans in to kiss me again, but I pull away.“I’m really exhausted, Francis. I think you should leave now.”“What? You’re asking me to leave your house?”“No… I’m just saying, go home for tonight. I need to get some rest.”He sighs. “Alright then. Good night, Katty.”“Good night, Francis,” I say, watching him leave the room.I lay on my bed reminiscing on the day that I just had. I remember Alpha Zane’s strong hands on mine, his tempting masculine scent, his dark eyes that stared at me and the way he touched me.Why did I let him do that?I turn my body to the other side of the bed. How could I let his hand go under my skirt and only for him to humiliate me afterward? Every time I’m with the Alpha, it’s like I have no control over my body, like it moves on its

KatarinaI can feel Zane’s presence like he is here, watching me.“The young wolf hunter is about to become a wolf,” his mocking voice taunts me, followed by his wicked laugh. I can feel him over my face. My eyes fly open, and I jerk upright, glancing around.There’s no sign of Zane.I exhale heavily. “Was I dreaming? Or was Zane really here, in my room, watching me sleep?”I sluggishly push the sheets off and get out of bed, heading downstairs. The scent of pancakes fills my nostrils. Dad is making breakfast.“Good morning, Dad,” I greet, noticing him at the stove. His eyes shift to me, and I sense something different about his demeanor.“Good morning, Katty,” he replies, his voice gruff as usual. “Sit down. You came at the right time.”I nod and sit as he sets a plate of pancakes in front of me. He pours me a glass of milk, his eyes locking onto mine, as if searching for something. He sits down across from me, hands resting on the table.“So, Francis said something interesting last

Katarina“Hey, Katty!” Francis says, about to step in. “Are you going out?” he asks, noticing the bag.“Yeah, we’re going out,” I reply.He looks puzzled. “Where are we going?”“I’ll tell you in a moment. Come on,” I say, and we get into the car. He starts the ignition, then turns his gaze to me.“So, Katty, where are we off to?”I smile, unable to hide my idea any longer. “I want to throw a small Christmas party.”He chuckles. “A Christmas party?” He gives me an incredulous look.“Uh-huh,” I nod, grinning.“Since when do the Penns celebrate Christmas?” he asks, clearly shocked.“Well, since now. I know we haven’t celebrated Christmas for years, but that’s about to change,” I say. A wave of sadness washes over me, but I take a deep breath and force a smile. “We’re getting some Christmas decorations for the house.”He shakes his head. “Katty, I don’t know… Wait, does Augustine even know about this?” He sounds anxious, glancing between me and the road.“No, he doesn’t, and you can’t tel

KatarinaI’m so excited. Everything has been going according to my plan. The doorbell rings, and I rush to open it. It’s Francis’ mom and three other women.“Hello, Katty,” Mrs. Baker, Francis’ mom says.“Hi, Mrs. Baker. Thank you for coming.”“Sure,” she giggles “I wouldn't miss an invitation from my future daughter-in-law. I came with some friends. I hope that’s not a problem. I figured we’d need more hands.”“Yes, yes, of course. Mrs. Baker, thank you so much! Welcome, everyone,” I say, greeting the three women she had come with. All hunters’ wives, I’m sure, as they walk in.It takes us a few hours, but the whole place smells amazing with the delicious aroma of food. The kitchen is filled with laughter as we cook, and after all the talking and joking, the food is finally ready. The roasted turkey looks incredible, and the other dishes make my mouth water—green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and, oh my gosh, the prime rib roast tastes amazing. We even have a bake

Katarina“I’m coming for you.” Alpha Zane’s voice whispers in my ear, jolting me awake. My eyes snap open instantly.“She’s awake!” Francis exclaims from beside me, relieved. “Doctor, come quick!”An elderly man rushes toward me, followed closely by my dad.“Katty,” Dad says with concern. The elderly man—who I assume is the doctor—begins to examine me. He opens my eyes wide, checks my temperature, and then steps back. “The worst is over. I believe she’ll be fine,” he says reassuringly.“What happened?” I ask, confused. The last thing I remember is hearing Alpha Zane’s voice.Dad leans closer. “You passed out. Francis found you unconscious on the floor.”I close my eyes and lean my head back, a dull pain throbbing behind my forehead. “Ah,” I groan softly, rubbing my temples.“Are you alright, Katty?” Dad asks, his worry deepening.“It’s the sound,” I mutter. “It’s too loud.”Francis, Dad, and the doctor exchange confused looks. Just then, Jeremy and his wife, Mrs. Baker enter the room.

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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 72: I REJECT YOU ALPHA ZANE
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
BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE CHAPTER 69: MY BODY’S DESIRE
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.
