All Chapters of Marked By Fate: The Alpha Who Loved Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Kat's POV "Katrina James, to the principal’s office." The voice echoed through the school intercom, and my heart skipped a beat. I froze, my fork halfway to my mouth, and looked up from my lunch tray. Did I hear that right? Whispers started spreading through the cafeteria like wildfire. My classmates turned their heads, their curious and judgmental eyes settling on me. My face burned with embarrassment. I wished I could sink into the floor and disappear. I had never been called to the principal’s office before. I wasn’t the kind of student who got into trouble. I did my work, kept my head down, and stayed out of everyone's way. So why was my name being announced for the whole school to hear? I swallowed hard and forced myself to stand, my legs feeling unsteady. As I walked past the tables, I could hear people murmuring. Some were probably hoping I’d finally messed up, while others just wanted something new to gossip about. Being the only one in Blackwell Pack who hadn’t shifted

Kat's POVWe got home in a hurry, my mom driving faster than she ever had before. The tires screeched a little as she pulled up in front of our small cabin, hidden deep in the woods where the pack houses were spread out. My heart was still pounding, and my hands felt clammy. She threw open the car door and rushed inside, not even bothering to lock the car behind her. I followed quickly, confusion and fear twisting in my stomach. As soon as we stepped inside, she turned to me, her eyes filled with urgency. "Kat, start packing up your things. We need to leave now." I froze. "Mom, wait. I need to know why Alpha Jacobs wants me. What does he want?" She let out a frustrated breath, running a shaky hand through her hair. "I promise I’ll explain soon, sweetheart, but right now, we don’t have time." I wanted to argue, to demand answers, but something in her voice—the fear—made me shut my mouth. I had never seen my mom like this before. She wasn’t just worried. She was terrified. "Go to

Liam’s POV I had been in the middle of training when one of my warriors rushed over, his face serious."Alpha, we found a girl at the pack borders. She’s injured—badly. We took her to the pack hospital."A girl? My brows furrowed. Rogues were common, but a lone girl showing up wounded? That was unusual."Is she awake?" I asked, already moving."She just woke up," he confirmed.I wasted no time, heading straight to the hospital. When I reached the room, I paused for a moment, placing my hand on the door handle. I had no idea who she was, how she got here, or what trouble she might bring. But I needed answers.Taking a breath, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.She sat up in bed, looking fragile beneath the thin hospital sheets. The dim lighting in the room softened the harsh bruises on her skin, but I still saw them—the fading purplish blotches along her cheekbone, the swollen cut on her lower lip. She had been through something terrible.But even injured, even weak, she was b

Kat's POV A few days passed by slowly. The only people I saw were the doctor and a couple of nurses who came to check on me or bring me food. They were nice, but they didn’t talk much. I didn’t mind at first because I was still tired and sore, but after a while, I started getting really bored.Alpha Liam hadn’t come back to see me, not even once. I tried not to care, but a small part of me felt disappointed. I told myself it didn’t matter, but the truth was, I kept hoping he would walk through the door. Every time I heard footsteps in the hallway, my heart would skip a beat—only for it to be a nurse or someone else. Never him.By the third day, I couldn’t take it anymore. I felt restless, like I was going to go crazy if I stayed in that hospital room any longer. So, I decided to take a walk.The evening air was cool and fresh as I stepped outside. The sky had soft shades of orange and pink as the sun slowly began to set. I breathed in deeply, the clean air filling my lungs. It felt g

Kat's POV I hesitated for just a second, then stepped inside.My breath caught in my throat.The room was beautiful.It wasn’t huge, but it was perfect. The walls were a soft dusty rose color, and the bed in the center of the room was neatly made with fluffy white sheets and a warm beige blanket folded at the foot. There were plump pillows stacked against the headboard and a soft rug underfoot that made me wiggle my toes even in my shoes.To the left was a desk beside a wide window, and outside, I could see the tops of the trees in the distance, swaying gently in the wind. A small potted plant sat on the desk, adding a bit of life to the space.“This is your room,” Cindy said kindly. “If you need anything at all, just find me or one of the omegas. We’ll help.”I nodded slowly, still overwhelmed by how thoughtful everything felt. I turned to her just as she was about to leave.“Wait,” I said. “What’s your name?”She turned back with a friendly smile. “Cindy.”“Thank you, Cindy,” I sai
