Lahat ng Kabanata ng BITTEN BY THE ALPHA: ALPHA ZANE: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Katarina My chest pounds. Saying yes will mean sure death for me. But that's exactly what I did. I betrayed him. “Luna Katarina,” Adam calls. “Answer the question.”My body is tense. “I love Zane and I choose him over my faction.”The wolves start murmuring. “Answer for your crimes Luna Katarina.” Adam demands. “Did you betray the Grand Alpha and your mate, delivering him to his enemies?”Nothing I say will change anything. This seems more like a formality when in reality, I’m going to be killed. I look at Zane and I see the hurt in his eyes. I have to own up to what I've done. There’s no escaping this. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. “Yes. I did.”“And what is it that you did, Luna Katarina? Can you clarify for this great council and all the witnesses seated?”“I—I…” My gaze shifts to Zane, who is staring at me intensely. “I handed Alpha Zane over to my dad and the wolf hunters.”The murmurings escalate just as I admit what I’ve done. The werewolves voices become even l

Katarina“Speak of the angel,” Adam chuckles, his surprised gaze moving between me and Zane. “Alpha Zane, it’s good to have you here to see your mate and your unborn child.”“Hello, Uncle,” he greets Adam.I rise immediately, shooting a nervous look at Adam, but he nudges me to follow Zane. So, I lead him to my room.“He lets you stay here,” Zane chuckles, a trace of nostalgia in his voice.“Yeah.”He smiles. “Adam really has had a change of heart.”“He told me this was your parents’ room,” I say, biting my lip. “Why did you move out?”Zane moves around the room, memories shadowing his face. “It was hard to stay.”“I’m sorry, Zane, that you had a rough past and for…,” I fumble with my fingers, “…disappointing you.”He turns to me, gaze cold. “Your apology is useless to me.”I step back. “I thought you came because you had forgiven me?”“I’m here because you’re pregnant. If the baby’s mine, I won’t be away from it.”“It is yours. I’ve never been with Francis or any other man, Zane.”“T

KatarinaI rub red lipstick on my lips, smacking them as I stare at myself in the mirror one final time. I look at the sleeveless black sequin gown I’m wearing, its low neckline showing my cleavage and its short length barely covering my butt, exposing my legs. It’s the perfect dress to get a man like Zane’s attention.I grab a small black purse and head downstairs.“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” Zane’s harsh voice greets me just as I’m about to open the door and leave the house.I knew it would work. A smile plays on my lips as I turn back to him.I clear my throat to hide my smile. “I’m going out with my friends. We’re having drinks at a bar close by.”“Drinks?” His eyes rake over me, lingering too long. “You can’t be having drinks, Katarina. You’re pregnant.”“Yes, I know.” I fold my arms, lips pursed. “I’m not going to drink anything. I’m just going to have some fun with my friends.”“Fun. At a bar, dressed like this?” His gaze trails down me again, hunger flashing be

Katarina“Wake up, sleeping beauty,” Zane murmurs as he presses a kiss to my forehead.My eyes slowly open, and I see him sitting beside me, placing a tray of breakfast next to me.“Hey.” My lips curve into a smile. “Good morning.”“Good morning, Katarina.” His gaze meets mine with a twinkle in his eyes.I yawn, then quickly cover my mouth, cheeks heating as Zane watches me and chuckles.He strokes my hair, his eyes steady on me. “Did you have a good night’s rest?”“Yes.” I nod, sitting up. “And you? Did you sleep well?”“I sleep best when you’re close to me… right beside me.” His voice softens, his eyes staying on mine as his thumb brushes my mouth.“Same,” I whisper, reaching for his hand. “I still love you, Zane.”“I feel the same way too.” His fingers squeeze mine.“And I want to sleep next to you again.” My eyes linger on him, knowing I might be rushing but taking my chance now that I’m in his good graces.“You should start with breakfast first.” Zane grins, the corners of his ey

Katarina I hear voices around me.“I’m afraid, Alpha Zane. The wolf blood in her is fighting back.” One voice I don’t recognize says, then pauses. “If it were just Luna Katarina, that would be hard enough. But now she’s pregnant. She’s in critical condition, and the baby is draining her strength.”“What can we do, doctor?” Zane seems worried.“For now, we just have to keep watching her,” the unfamiliar voice sighs. “But if it comes to it, we may have to end the pregnancy to save the mother.”“Don’t even think about it,” I hear Adam snap.My eyes blink open, staring at the ceiling. My body feels weak.“Doctor, do your damn job,” Adam orders firmly. “Find a way to keep Luna Katarina and the baby safe.”“Understood, Alpha Adam,” the strange voice replies. “Alpha Zane…” his words fade as his footsteps retreat.I try to sit up.“Katarina!” Zane rushes to me, and Adam follows close behind him.“My Katarina…” Zane cups my cheek, his eyes fixed on mine, scanning me with relief and worry. “Ho
