All Chapters of BITTEN: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

DYLAN’S POVThe execution of my plan was supposed to begin today. Or so I thought. But as the hours passed, I realized how much I had underestimated the weight of it all. The tension coiled in my gut, suffocating, unbearable. I could barely function under its grip. The thought of her—of how she would react—consumed me. Would she accept the truth? Would she accept me? We had barely spoken about how she was turned, and a small, reckless part of me clung to the hope that it might mean she wouldn’t resist. That she might already feel the pull toward me, even if she refused to acknowledge it. I kept telling myself this was for the best. That claiming her, binding her to me, was the only way forward. But my hands still shook with anticipation. The car came to a stop, jerking me back to the present. I exhaled sharply, pushing open the door and stepping out. My gaze lifted to the towering glass building before me—a place that had once been my refuge. After my mother died, I had buried

Kara's POV"The CEO himself is involved… wow, I must be of great importance then." Rodrigo’s jaw tightened, his expression grim. "We believe it’s because you know something—some secret about ASA. That’s why they want you dead at all costs." Kara scoffed, folding her arms. "But I know nothing. We were just pawns—paid to be on the field, risking our lives while they sat back, issuing commands like gods playing chess. It has to be something else." Her voice dripped with frustration, the sting of betrayal still fresh. Rodrigo exhaled, his sharp eyes assessing her. "There’s only one way to find out." The room fell silent, heads turning toward her. Kara lifted her chin. "We attack Dave Benson tomorrow night. Abduct him. Break him until he talks." The air grew heavy, thick with tension. For a long beat, no one spoke. Then— "You’re joking, right?" Gigi’s voice cracked the silence, but her wide eyes said she already knew the answer. Rodrigo smirked. "I don’t think she is." "T

Two large groups had boxed them in. Kara could feel it in her bones—the tight pull of danger, the kind that suffocated. To the left were the Neotides. Strayed wolves. Trained to destroy, and nothing else. The same brutal pack that had stormed her home, the same ones who tried to wipe her off the earth. And to the right—humans. Dressed in red tracksuits. Their faces hidden under masks. Silent. Unmoving. But Kara knew exactly who they were. ASA’s most treasured special troop. A group only ever released when it was time to kill, clean, and disappear. This wasn’t just Dave Benson’s doing. No. Someone bigger was backing him now. Someone with more power. More reach. Someone who wanted her gone—for good. Rodrigo yanked off his mask, his jaw clenched so tight it looked like it might crack. “Son of a bitch,” he hissed under his breath. “We’re surrounded! What do we do?!” Zayn shouted through the comms, panic heavy in his voice. Kara didn’t respond right away. Her eyes dropped to th

The sharp, suffocating scent of metal choked the air around me, thick and relentless. Voices drifted from a distance—deep, muffled sounds of men talking and laughing like they had nothing better to do. Like someone wasn’t tied up in the room they were guarding.Darkness. That’s all I could see the moment I woke up—thick, blinding blackness. A blindfold was wrapped tight around my head, pressing into my skin. My limbs were heavy, stiff. I tried to move but my arms and legs were strapped down, tightly bound at the wrists and ankles. The material bit into my skin with every twitch. I shifted slightly and realized I was lying on a bed—a cold, stiff mattress beneath me.Something cold clamped around my neck. A collar. Metal. Heavy. My heart hammered against my ribs. Not out of fear, but because I knew exactly what that collar meant.They knew I was a shifter.They knew.And they weren’t taking any chances.My breath hitched as the panic clawed at my throat. The venom from the syringe sti

Far beyond the compound…“Alpha, we’ve arrived behind the mountains. We await your signal,” Craig’s voice rang through the mind link, clear and focused.“Perfect,” Dylan replied, his own tone hard as stone. “We move as planned.”Thanks to the tracking device hidden in Kara’s necklace, Gigi had triangulated the location. The building stood cloaked in the deep southern forest, a remote expanse of tall trees and jagged peaks. Officially, it was a weapons manufacturing site. Unofficially, it belonged to ASA.Their strike force had been split: Rodrigo and his men approached the front, Craig’s unit climbed the mountain paths to the back, and Dylan himself led the assault through a secret tunnel unearthed by the hackers.“Everyone in position?” Dylan asked through his earpiece, the forest wind whipping around him.“Copy. Ready,” Rodrigo answered.“Born ready, Alpha,” Craig followed.“Gigi?” Dylan pressed.“Systems hacked. We’re in place,” she called out.“Move. Now.”Dylan’s order cut throug
