CHAPTER 21: I’M IN THE WOLVES DEN AND I NEED SAVING
KatarinaWe arrive at the wolf zone, and my skin crawls. I’m scared out of my mind. My thoughts flash back to the last time I was here—wolves attacked me, and I ended up injuring two of them just to defend myself. What will happen now that I’m in the lion’s den—or, in this case, the wolf’s den? When they find out my dad is Augustine, my life will be in danger.Back home, Zane didn’t let me leave with anything, not even my clothes. If he had, I would’ve smuggled a weapon with me. Now, I have no way of defending myself except by trusting my life to a dangerous Alpha who only keeps me alive for his revenge plans. It sounds like a terrible plan. Alpha Zane will probably let them attack me just for his amusement. He hates me—he’s made that clear. I can’t let myself feel safe just because he hasn’t killed me yet, because once he’s done with me, he won’t hesitate to take my life. When he’s not looking at me with those seductive eyes of his, he’s looking at me with deadly ones. Either way, I

KatarinaI watch him walk away, and everything comes flooding back. He bit me and left this dreadful mark on my neck. He wants Dad dead. He stormed into my home, furious, and forced me to leave with him. He hurt Francis and Dad. He’s a wolf, just like the beast that killed Mom. And he’s the Alpha—my enemy. He’s just given me another reminder of that.Katarina, you can’t get carried away. I tell myself. You hate him. Sing it like an anthem every day.His home is undeniably beautiful, but I have to see it as a prison. I’m in enemy territory, and I’m here on a mission. I need to find a cure, something that will stop me from turning into a wolf. And I swear, I’ll kill Alpha Zane for deceiving me, for taking advantage of me, and for making everyone think I’m a fool. I just need to figure out a way to get close enough to take him down. First, I have to find the cure, and he’s the only link I have to it right now. He’s the one who bit me, after all.The elderly woman grins at me. “Come, swee

ZaneMy eyes devour her body with an intense hunger to taste her, a battle raging within me. I have two choices: take her now and consummate our bond, or walk away. The second choice is the one I should make, but I can’t bring myself to do it. My arms wrap around her waist possessively, pulling her body flush against mine. Her eyes lock with mine, and I can see the fear lurking in them, wondering what I’m about to do.My gaze falls to her lips, and I claim them, kissing her desperately, over and over. I don’t want to stop. She stirs a fierce, primal desire in me.Shit. I want to fuck her!Kris, my wolf, has been waiting long enough. Claim her! Fuck her! he roars inside me.“Stop,” she whispers.Kris pulls back, and I abruptly pull away. Doesn’t she want me? I stare at her, confused. I can smell the desire on her. So, why did she stop me?Control yourself, Zane, my mind warns me.I haven’t touched another woman since Lina. I don’t need to do this with Katarina. Mate or not, I can have

KatarinaBut, I’m the Alpha. I make the rules. As they growl louder, my eyes turn red, and Kris roars, forcing them to calm down. They all stare at me, stunned.Good. I have their attention.“This is Katarina Penn. She’ll be joining you this semester.”“Alpha Zane,” Miranda, one of the lecturers, greets me. She turns to Katarina. “Welcome, Miss Penn.” She doesn’t hide her displeasure, but she can’t disobey me either. Everyone settles down. They don’t want Katarina here. But I do, and that’s enough.“You can settle down, Miss Penn, with the rest of the class. I’m sure the Alpha has greater responsibilities to take care of,” Miranda says, trying to play nice to Katarina.Katarina shifts her gaze to me, displeased. “Please, don’t leave me with these beasts. I want to go where you go,” she whispers, her eyes pleading.I lean close to her, whispering in her ear. “They can hear you, Katarina.” I watch the shock and fear on her face as she leans closer to me, afraid.“A werewolf’s ears are a

ZaneThere is silence for what feels like a couple of minutes. Then, Adam strides towards me, and I see the anger in his eyes as he faces me.“Alpha Zane, this is not your call to make. She is standing before the Council.” He gestures toward Katarina. My gaze shifts to her—she’s trying to hold herself together, but she looks terrified. I feel the urge to protect her rising in me again.“Yes. And I brought her before the Council,” I say, pointing at my chest. “Do you even know who she is?”“Damn right I do. She’s Katarina Penn, daughter of Augustine Penn, the leader of the wolf hunters. We have two wolves in the clinic, and I’ve been informed she’s the cause.”I’m taken aback. He knows everything. Damn it! I wanted to reveal it myself. He needed to hear it from me. Now, his mind is set—and the rest of the Council’s too. The chances of convincing them otherwise are slim.“So, tell us, Alpha,” he says, his arm sweeping toward the rest of the Council seated at the table. “Why the hell are

ZaneWe both sit silently in the car. My gaze shifts toward her, and I notice a deep frown on her face. Her fists are clenched, like she’s holding onto some intense thought. I sit up straighter, firming my voice. “If you’ve got something to say, then say it.”She turns and meets my eyes briefly before looking away again, tapping her fingers lightly on her lips. For a few moments, it seems like she’s holding herself back, but then she finally speaks.“Slave mate? Is that why you brought me here? To be your slave mate?”My expression hardens. “I didn’t force you to come. You came willingly. I’ll make you whatever I damn well choose.”She scoffs bitterly. “You threatened me. You threatened to hurt my father and my—” She stops, leaving the sentence unfinished.“And your what? Tell me Katarina…Your what?” I lean in, my gaze cold and intense. “You must mean that pathetic bodyguard of yours. What is he to you?”She hesitates before finally muttering, “He’s my… friend.”“Friend,” I repeat the

KatarinaI hold my breath as I hear his leather boots coming down the stairs. He’s coming for breakfast too. A part of me hoped he wouldn’t. Do wicked people really eat? They don’t deserve to. Especially him—not after what he’s done. He reaches the dining table, pulls out the chair at the head of the table, and sits confidently, like a king, though his chivalrous gaze stays on me even as he settles in.“Good morning, Alpha Zane.” Rosaline hurries out of the kitchen with her usual cheer as she places his breakfast in front of him.I glare at him, wishing I could just stick the fork I’m holding into his cold heart.“That for me?” His cold gaze meets my angry stare with amusement as he gestures toward my hand.My eyes follow his to my hand. I’m so lost in thought, I didn’t realize I’m gripping the fork like a weapon. I loosen my hold and drop the fork onto my plate.“Bad morning for you, Katarina, I suppose. You know, it’s bad manners not to greet the owner of the house you live in. Thin
Dernière mise à jour : 2025-04-12CHAPTER 28: I AM LOST
KatarinaTheir angry gazes fix on me, making my skin prickle with unease. My eyes dart around the room, spotting an empty seat in the middle of a row. I take a deep breath, glancing back at the door, torn between staying or leaving. Stay, Katarina, you can do this. Another deep breath steadies me, and I walk to the seat, quickly settling in and avoiding anyone’s gaze. The class is awkwardly silent. I don’t look up, but I can feel their stares boring into me. Low wolf growls rumble, making me tense. Are they going to attack me?The door swings open, and a woman walks in, standing confidently at the front of the class. “Hello, everyone. I’m Professor Bennett. Welcome to Wolf 101,” she says with a bright smile.I feel relieved. For now, at least, I don’t have to worry about being bullied by these wolves.“Let’s start with an interesting question,” Professor Bennett says as she uncaps a marker and writes on the whiteboard. “In just one word, who are werewolves?”The room is silent for a b

KatarinaI take his hand, and Cyprian helps me stand. I stare at him, noticing how he watches me, like he’s wondering why he bothered to save me after I’d been rude in class.“Thank you,” I murmur, our gazes still locked.“You’re welcome,” he replies with a warm smile. His eyes shift to the scattered papers on the ground. “I’ll help you,” he says, moving to gather them.He hands the papers back to me. “You really shouldn’t be walking alone at night, you know.”I reach for the papers, but he holds onto them a moment longer. “Let me carry these for you. So…where are you headed?”I hesitate, my eyes searching his. Why is he being so kind after how I acted at the Academy? “Uh… I don’t know,” I admit.He raises an eyebrow, confused, so I explain further. “I’m lost. I don’t know the way to the Alpha’s house.”He chuckles lightly. “So, you’ve been wandering the streets since we saw you at the Academy gate?”I turn away, but my embarrassed expression gives him the answer he’s looking for.“Wh

KatarinaI stare at him, wondering just how much he heard of my conversation with Dad. “What do you mean?”“I was told you had just returned to the house. Why the hell did you go off on your own like that?”I feel a bit more at ease. It’s not about the plan Dad and I have to take him down. “How else was I supposed to get here?”“Magdalena would have brought you back if you hadn’t run off. You should have just gone with her.”I open my mouth, a hiss escaping. “Is that what she told you? I didn’t run off. Your precious Magdalena shoved me into the classroom and left me. I would have called you if I had your number, but I don’t.” I see the way he looks at me when I say I would have called him.“Your phone,” he says, extending his hand, waiting for me to hand it over. I grab it from the bed and give it to him. He punches in some numbers and pulls out his own phone. After a few seconds, he hands my phone back.“Now you have my number, and I have yours.”I glance at my phone screen. He’d sa
