Chapter 74 Live Or Die In The Woods

• Zane
• Actions 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?
