Chapter 0. Preface
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A silver bullet hits Katrina's shoulder with great force. She is thrown back a few meters due to the impact that catches her by surprise.
Her head spins as she tries to grab hold of one of the branches. Her only concern now is her puppy in her womb and what might happen to it if she falls from this height into the cliff. She never liked walking through these woods and right now she regrets not having explored them earlier to have an escape option.
"You're disgusting, damnable!" Her half-sister Lizzie's voice echoes in her head. All the remorse she had claimed to feel is completely false, and now she realizes it. "Did you think I was going to give you a clear path? You purposely married Jarl because you know he loves me. You did it to hurt me and push me away from him, but it won't work, Katrina. Jarl and I will get married, whether you accept it or not. I will be the moon of the Alba Noctis pack when he becomes the alpha. We will have many children and be very happy."
Katrina is still not able to process what her half-sister said when she sees her husband emerging from the bushes and heading towards where they are. She didn't even realize he was in the mansion when they went out hunting this afternoon, and now she is filled with fear of what they might do to her in such a distant place from home.
Jarl reloads the shotgun with another bullet that he takes out of his pocket and walks towards Katrina, holding it threateningly.
"Did you think we would allow you to keep all the Grimlore fortune?" Jarl asks with a macabre smile spreading across his face, his eyes shining threateningly as he speaks. "You're not that important, Katrina. You're nothing more than useless, just like your mother, and you deserve a ruthless death just like hers."
"We know what you have been trying to do, and we won't allow you to continue with it," adds her sister to what Jarl said.
"I haven't done anything wrong. I swear!" Katrina's voice trembles. Tears flow down her pale cheeks as if they have a life of their own. Her vision blurs, and her ears are still buzzing from the bullet lodged in her shoulder, rapidly weakening her. She can't believe she was so foolish to fall into these two's game. She was always naive and innocent, but she never would have imagined the macabre plan they had against her this afternoon.
"You will no longer be a burden in my life, Katrina, nor in Lizzie's. It will be a pleasure to send you to hell along with your mother."
Katrina's heart shatters in that moment. She always believed her mother's death was very strange. Now there is no doubt that Jarl had something to do with it since he was the only one with her that night.
Her husband's evil smile is the last thing the young she-wolf sees before another muffled shot resonates throughout the forest, and the bullet forcefully pierces her chest.
Just a day ago, her father had convinced her to give her sister another chance. It was time to smooth out old rough edges with her and bring peace to their father's heart, but nothing could be more mistaken.
A red and viscous liquid starts to cover her beautiful white dress. She looks up to see the faces of these people who hate her so much.
"Why, Jarl?" she manages to ask with a half-howl, broken and anguished. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"Don't worry, little sister. I will take good care of Jarl. We will be very happy while you turn to dust."
Nothing prepared Katrina for this terrible moment. She was always too naive for the evil that surrounded her, dreamy and romantic. She is incapable of understanding how someone you said you loved just hours before could cause so much harm.
A sharp pain and dizziness suddenly attack her. Instinctively, she brings both hands to her chest, feeling as if something is breaking inside.
"I reject you, Katrina Grimlore, and sever all ties with you, forever and ever," Jarl's voice cuts through her chest like sharp knives. She gasps a few times before emitting a loud cry of pain and despair. At that moment, another bullet takes her by surprise. Katrina takes a few steps back, slips, and falls directly towards the deep and dark cliff, severely injured.
"I accept your rejection," she manages to say before darkness completely envelops her. Another howl, this time from Jarl, reverberates through the vast forest.
The blonde woman's hair quickly disappears into the darkness along with a large pool of blood that seeps from her wounded body. Lizzie gazes at the pit, pleased. She finally got rid of her! And it was much easier than she had thought.
Lizzie looks at Jarl with accelerated breathing. Finally, he will be completely hers, and she will be able to enjoy all the Grimlore fortune as the sole Luna. Her destiny is much better than she had expected.
Jarl looks at the shotgun in his hand and immediately throws it off the same cliff before glancing around and making sure no one has seen them.
"Don't worry, my love. I told you no one comes around here, and she will die without remedy."
Jarl seems to hear some gasps, but they are far away, so he doesn't worry about anything else. Lizzie is right, everything turned out very well.
Katrina Grimlore is dead, and now the entire fortune of the family belongs to him, the future alpha of the Alba Noctis pack.

Two months earlier...Katrina walks hurriedly through the corridors of the old castle towards the parking lot with the exam results in her hands."Slow down, Katrina. Let me catch my breath, please. It's impossible to keep up with your pace," her friend says, carrying a stack of documents and folders in both hands. "At least now you know the cause of your discomfort. Take it easy.""I'm so excited, Amber," she responds, placing her hands on her flat belly as if she could feel the heartbeat of her puppy inside. Her friend rolls her eyes. "Can you imagine? A puppy of mine and Jarl's, the future Alpha of Alba Noctis!""Well, of course I can imagine," her friend approaches her and also places her hand on her belly, trying to feel the same thing Katrina is feeling, but without success. "That's what can happen when you have relations with your mate, right?"Amber quickly removes her hand from her belly as if something is burning her, then continues walking while Katrina looks at her with a
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 2. Uncovered
It's been three nights since Jarl hasn't gone to the Grimlore mansion to sleep, but he often misses home due to many meetings or trips in which he must participate before being declared alpha of the pack, which according to Katrina's understanding, will be in three more moons.Thirty minutes later, Katrina parks her old car in the parking lot of Sofisthy's offices and takes the elevator that goes to the floor where her husband's office is located. All employees look at her strangely when the metal doors open. Her casual attire and unkempt appearance contrast completely with the sumptuous and immaculate office with polished floors, high ceilings, and to top it off, perfectly uniformed and groomed assistants. Katrina is wearing light pink denim shorts and a pink t-shirt with a heart emoji design on the chest, with white athletic sandals. Her long, blond hair is tied in a messy ponytail that lets some strands fall on her face. She is wearing no makeup. She has never liked using them be
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 3. You Are a Failure
"Come on, get on!" Amber says to Katrina as she intercepts her with her motorcycle in a dark street. "I'll take you to a place where you'll forget about your idiot husband."Katrina gets on the motorcycle behind her and puts on her helmet. Her eyes are red and swollen from crying so much during this time. She had been wandering the streets for hours until she called her friend, who came to her rescue immediately.Katrina remains silent throughout the entire journey, her gaze lost on the road, and Amber prefers not to overwhelm her with silly questions, for now. She knows her, she knows that she only needs company and support at the moment. The complaints and truths will come later.They arrive at a place that looks questionable. Katrina had never been to a place like this before, but she can imagine what it's about. Amber works as a waitress at a nightclub on weekends."I don't think this is a good idea," Katrina says, hesitating as she looks at the facade of the place."Don't worry s

Hearing that filled the young woman with sadness and frustration. Although the moon goddess has not yet bestowed her with the gift of transformation, she knows that when the right time comes, she will. Her mother managed to transform for the first time at the age of 25, and despite that, she was the Alpha of the pack, an unparalleled and respected leader, even among other packs. She can't wait to prove to everyone that she is not as useless as they make her out to be."I don't know what you're accusing me of, Lorena, but I'm not staying here to find out or let you insult me," Katrina starts to make a move to go up the stairs, but her father finally speaks."Jarl was here last night. He came looking for you because you hadn't gone home and he got worried. Then he received a call from a friend of his saying that you were at some run-down nightclub getting drunk with a couple of omegas and your friend.""But dad…""Is it untrue? His friend sent Jarl pictures and we all saw them, were the
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 5. The Testament
After the incident, Jarl learns from Lizzie that Katrina is already in Alba Noctis Castle. He thought he should go look for her at her friend Amber's apartment, and he was taking his time because he knows he must be careful not to damage his reputation in front of the press. But now that he knows where his wife is, it won't take much effort to convince her to go with him again."Lizzie turned out to not be so shallow after all and she's serving another purpose besides just fucking," he thinks with a malicious smile on his face. The truth is, they've been fucking a lot for the past two years, ever since she first turned and they were in the woods. That's why he likes this type of female, because they serve to pass the time and relieve the stress he carries. Fucking alleviates all his worries."When are you going to break the red string with my sister, Jarl?" says Lizzie, in a rather shrill voice."We'll wait for the right moment," Jarl answers, unconcerned. "You know we must move cauti
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 6. You're Mine
After the conversation between Jarl and Mauricio, Jarl quickly leaves the castle to meet up with his friend Gabriel. Finding that will is his priority now, and he can advise him on what to do.He sends him a message and asks to meet at his apartment. He doesn't want anyone else to hear what they have to talk about, and they won't be interrupted there either.He arrives at the building where Gabriel lives and Jarl tells him everything, just as he heard it in the castle, including what his father had heard the alpha Lauren's lawyer say shortly before her death. Connecting all the dots, the version fits perfectly.«His father was right in asking you to claim Katrina as your mate, and he was right to listen to him» Jarl thinks, encouraged."I need to see the content of that will, Jarl," Gabriel says, while drinking whiskey. "If you can bring me at least one copy, we'll have everything we need to draft the document that Katrina needs to sign.""That will be a piece of cake, Gabriel. I know
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 7. What did you do to me?
Katrina lets out a loud gasp as Jarl sucks on her nipples again, alternating between one and the other, while two of his fingers play in her intimate area.He plays with her clitoris with his thumb to arouse her, all the while penetrating her over and over again with his fingers. The sensations that invade Katrina are very intense and unfamiliar to her. She had never felt them before, and for a moment she tries to resist, but she can't take it anymore and she explodes around her mate's fingers, letting out a sharp and deep moan.An arrogant smile spreads across Jarl's face as he sees her convulsing uncontrollably under his hands. He took her virginity after they got married, and it's obvious that this is her first orgasm because she hadn't reacted like this back then.Before she can fully come back to reality, he takes his hard and sore cock and places it at her entrance to penetrate her slowly. Katrina is quite tight, and if it weren't for the fact that he needs her to trust him agai

"You must be crazy if you think about forgiving him and believing that string of lies he told you to sweeten you up," Amber's response makes Katrina sigh, disheartened. "Jarl doesn't love you at all. Someone who loves doesn't treat their partner the way he treated you, my friend. He's shamelessly lying to you and using your innocence to his advantage.""Although you may not believe it, he was very affectionate with me last night, Amber. He seemed like a different person.""But he was fucking Lizzie, your half-sister, in his office, Katrina. You saw them yourself. What more evidence do you need that Jarl is a complete jerk?""He told me that she had come onto him.""That could also be true," Amber replies immediately. "Your half-sister reeks of promiscuity from miles away, believe me. And it's no secret to anyone in Alba Noctis that this woman has been after your husband since she moved to the castle. Besides, her mother is a living example of what it means to be a slut, she has plenty

Twenty years have passed...From his office window, Ragnar watches Katrina attentively as she talks with Amber and Rubí in the courtyard, pointing towards the little ones playing in the vast yard. A little further, by the pools, are the older ones, Ethan and his mate Milly, Selene, Rouse, Brandon, and Bruno, the twins born after Rouse, and Lucinda.A smile spreads across his face as he sees Silvia sobbing while asking her mother to carry her. Since birth, she's been a very sensitive and complaining girl, unlike her twin Hector, who seems unaffected by anything and quickly adapts to everything. Yes, Ragnar and Katrina have eight children in total, and according to Katrina, these will be the last, as they are of grandparent age, but Ragnar and Remus disagree. Seeing so many pups roaming the mansion warms his heart, especially since the youngest are already 3 years old, so they might try for more soon.Ethan has become the second man of the house at 20, taking care of and protecting his
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 119. Epilogue - Celestial Night
Weeks fly by in the blink of an eye. Katrina's belly has grown significantly, and her movements have reduced to a minimum for this stage of her pregnancy. Her little Rouse, as she and her husband call her, is very healthy and energetic, so much so that she doesn't even let Katrina sleep properly anymore, and consequently not Ragnar, who takes care of her day and night.Today is the day of the scheduled surgery to give birth. Moreira preferred her to have surgery since the baby is in a less favorable position for Katrina to have a natural birth.At Alba Noctis castle, everyone is awake early, preparing for the princess's arrival; there's a lot of activity in every corner. Ragnar is very nervous, his hands sweating, and a giant knot in his throat making it hard to breathe normally. He had never been this nervous in his life, not even the day the twins were born.He has already made about ten rounds in total in his little one's room just this morning. He hired a designer specializing in
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 118. Undignified Death - Final Chapter
The elderly counselor, responsible for giving the final verdict, steps onto the stage and begins to speak."The council of the Alba Noctis pack, after analyzing all the evidence against the accused provided by Alpha Ragnar Shadowfang and hearing their statements, found them guilty. The three are sentenced to an undignified death in front of all the members of the pack. The sentence will be carried out tonight in the castle arena.Lizzie begins to cry inconsolably, while her mother remains stoic, unmoved. Mauricio remains unresponsive, considering the possibility of using the potion that man gave him the other night to prevent those Lycan from ending their lives in front of everyone.Katrina puts her hand over her mouth to stifle a sob as she desperately seeks a way to escape.After the sentences, the trial is concluded and the three are taken to the places where they will remain until the night.Ragnar and Katrina embrace. This is something that pains her despite everything, but it is
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 117. The trial
Sebastian and Ruby arrive first at the scene in their werewolf form, encountering an aggressive Akira and upset about the previous events, Ragnar semi-conscious and Jarl evidently dead in her claws."Are you okay?" Sebastian tries to communicate with Katrina through the mental link, but Akira still has her aura expanded and cannot effectively communicate with her or get too close, so he circles her at a certain distance with his tail between his legs, showing his neck as a sign of respect and submission.Rita, Ruby's wolf, also stays back, as well as those who are arriving at the site.Akira howls loudly again, increasing her aura even more. Sirox and the others have no choice but to step back due to the pain caused by her display of power. All the werewolves of the Alba Noctis pack receive the message from their leader, the one and only alpha, that their "chosen alpha," Jarl Fenrisson, has just been defeated by her. Most of them, from where they are, begin to experience a lot of pain
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 116. He who lives by the sword...
"Remus!" Katrina's voice makes Jarl blink, while Remus keeps his eyes closed, his strength quickly waning with the silver bullet lodged in his chest, and he retreats back into Ragnar's mind, allowing him to take his human form once again. Katrina's breath slows at that moment. Everything is silent and dark around her as she sees her severely wounded partner on the ground. Akira uses all her strength to cut the tapes binding Katrina's feet and hands and struggles to get up to reach Ragnar, blood gushing from his chest. She tries to scream for help, but her voice doesn't come out, all the words getting stuck in her throat, the drug that Jarl made her inhale is too strong, and Akira, although she tries to emerge, doesn't quite succeed. Katrina cradles her partner's head in her arms. He is still alive, though gravely injured and unconscious. Jarl looks up and stares at Katrina, who is deeply distressed about Ragnar, but unaware that he is also injured, his left arm has been torn off by

It is impossible to continue hiding what happens when everyone starts to move around the house.Rubí and Paula wake up disoriented by the unusual movement in the mansion's hallways, they go out to look and as soon as they realize that Ragnar's room door is open and there are several people inside, they run there."What's going on, brother?!" Rubí shouts. "Where is Katrina?!"Paula tries to restrain Ragnar, but she can't. He is too nervous.Ragnar can't stand to watch the video on the guard's phone, he takes a deep breath before leaving. He won't allow that man to harm Katrina. He said he would never allow it to happen again over his dead body, and he means it. Tonight one of them will die."Son, please," Paula tries to stop him. "Let the guards take care of it, please don't go in that state. You need to calm down, you're too nervous."Ragnar looks at her for a few seconds before leaving. Julián runs after him. Inside his car, he receives a message from an unknown number, with a photo
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 114. Find her!
The lights of the Shadowfang mansion are gradually fading and Jarl knows that the moment he has been waiting for has finally arrived. There are two guards wandering around that area, weak omegas, who don't worry him too much, because he knows he can go unnoticed with the potion and that if something goes out of control, they are not enemies to him. He walks stealthily a few meters along the side of the wall when he overhears one of them saying he needs to go to the bathroom. That moment is perfect to move forward. He runs to the door and when he tries to open it, it opens without much difficulty. He looks cautiously to make sure there is no one else inside. The whole place is already semi-dark, but he can see that it is the laundry section of the house. He enters and after scanning everything quickly with his eyes, he goes up the main staircase to reach Katrina on the second floor.He opens each door very slowly to avoid alerting anyone and to see who is there, until he reaches the

Inside the cells of the Alba Noctis pack, Jarl hits the wall hard upon receiving the news from Gabriel. He is very nervous. His friend looks at him resignedly."You know that what you are asking for is dangerous, and they won't risk their lives for nothing," Gabriel says, trying to keep his voice low. "You decide, either give them what they want or stay here and wait for your trial.""That's too much money, Gabriel," Jarl yells, angry. "I'll be left with nothing, it's all I have left. They already took everything from me."There is a deep hatred in Jarl's eyes when he thinks of Ragnar and Katrina. Gabriel says nothing, but he knows that Jarl has some plan in mind and there is no human power that will make him back down."I need to get out of here. I want Katrina and that damn man to suffer for this. I want them to regret coming back and planning all of this against me.""Don't you think it's time to walk away? Don't do something that will drag you down even further, Jarl," Gabriel fee
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 112. Justice for you
Ragnar and Katrina, along with the elder council members, spend a long time in the boardroom to clarify some points, especially those related to those four. They do not want anyone to get away with all the harm they did to Katrina. When they finally leave the room, all the employees turn to look at her, but she is too mentally exhausted now to give them any kind of explanation. She will do it tomorrow when she is calmer and has rested enough. Ragnar gives some instructions to the assistant and she nods. She knows it's not a good time, so the assistant asks everyone to return to their workplaces and they do so. Katrina walks towards the elevator, ready to go back home, when a familiar figure appears before her, about five steps away. "Amber?" Katrina can't hide her excitement at seeing her after so long. She looks different, but it's her, she knows it, she can feel it. She walks up to her to hug her and they both embrace tightly. Amber is crying like never before. "Amber, my frie
