Chapter 1. A puppy of mine and Jarl's
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Two 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 furrowed brow and her hands on her hips.
"You're not understanding anything, friend," Katrina says, and Amber nods. "It's a blessing for the pack, their future Alpha."
"That's true," Amber abruptly stops, causing her friend to collide with her and some folders to fall to the ground. "Many couples spend years trying to have a puppy, but..."
"But?" Katrina bends down to pick up what fell and put it back in place. "Just say whatever you have to say, friend. I'm ready to receive your pessimism, as always."
"But not you, Katrina. You know Jarl well, and I know him well too. We both know what he thinks about having a puppy. That man seems to hate the little ones."
"Just because he doesn't like puppies doesn't mean he won't like one that's his and mine, Amber."
"Oh, dear friend! You're too innocent. Sometimes I fear I'll become the same by being stuck to you all day," Katrina scratches her head without understanding the message her friend is trying to convey. "That man doesn't want anyone but himself! What makes you think he'll be happy that you're pregnant? They had sex only once in the six months they've been married. He'll think you're cheating on him."
The footsteps of both women echo in the empty parking lot at this hour as they argue about Katrina's pregnancy.
"It's because we're still young, friend, plus he believes that a child can prevent us from evolving. However, that doesn't have to be the case. Any effort can be worth it in the end. We can be good leaders for the pack and parents, despite everything."
"If that's what you believe..." Amber replies, taking the car keys from Katrina's hand. She turns around and looks at the old and rusty car with resignation and great disappointment. The only daughter of the Alpha of Alba Noctis pack, owner of the most renowned restaurant chain in Brazil, moving around in an old and rusty car, while her half-sister and stepmother enjoy a brand-new SUV and live the high life, with jewelry and luxurious dresses. Is Katrina a fool? Of course she is.
"Have you thought about how you're going to break the news to your grumpy mate?" Amber asks once they take the main avenue to head to the Grimlore mansion.
The Grimlore family mansion is approximately thirty minutes away from the Alba Noctis pack's castle, where both of them work in administration. They have known each other since they were very young because Amber's mother was one of the omegas in charge of cleaning Katrina's house. Then, when Katrina's mother died in a surprise attack by enemy packs and her father reunited with Lorena, both Amber's mother and she were kicked out of the Grimlore mansion and sent to serve the poorest members of the pack.
Katrina and Amber never separated despite this and would meet occasionally in the forest where nobody could see them. They both have been working part-time at the castle for two years now, and now that Katrina is married, they can see each other whenever they want while her husband is working in the offices. Well... her husband is always working, and if he isn't working, he always says he is.
"I'm going to prepare a very nice surprise for him. I'll go see him at the Sofisthy offices and give him the news," she says with a special sparkle in her eyes and placing her hands on her flat belly.
Katrina goes home after dropping her friend off at her apartment just a few blocks away and immediately heads to the kitchen.
Today she plans to prepare the beef soup that her husband loves so much and surprise him. The housemaids start murmuring in confusion as they see her put on an apron and start gathering the ingredients.
"Are you looking for something, Mrs. Katrina?" Sara, a beta who is the housekeeper of the house and has been Jarl's nanny since he was one year old, asks. When they moved to this mansion after getting married, Jarl decided to bring her to organize the house and take care of all the servants. The older woman looks at Katrina with some distrust. "If you tell me what you want to do, I can ask the maids to do it."
Sara has never treated Katrina well, and in fact, neither have any of the employees Jarl hired for the house. Since they got married, her life is not better than what she had at the Alba Noctis castle, and all the employees here ignore her most of the time, even though she is the lady of the house and the future mate of the pack when Jarl is named Alpha. Still, she prefers to think that it's just a process and that eventually they will start to care for her.
"I'm going to prepare a meal for my husband," Sara lets out a giggle that Katrina doesn't notice, but the other maids do and they also mock her.
Katrina doesn't pay them any more attention than they deserve. Today, she is happy and doesn't want anything to overshadow her happiness.
"Do you want any of the maids to help you?" the woman says sarcastically. "My young Jarl has a very delicate stomach. Perhaps you should let the cook handle it to make sure he doesn't get sick."
"I'll do it myself, Sara. Regardless, I appreciate your offer," Katrina responds.
Despite the beta's ill will, Katrina finishes the beef soup earlier than planned. She puts it in a container and immediately heads towards the Sofisthy.

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

"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

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

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

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
Return of the betrayed MATE Chapter 9. I Missed You
Jarl looks at the woman in bed from the mirror while adjusting his pants. "What a woman I got this time!" he thinks with a flirty smile. Job doesn't respond, which isn't strange to him, as all he's done all day is ask about Katrina. The woman stirs a bit in the silk sheets before waking up. She gets up with a smile from ear to ear, revealing her big, dark breasts to Jarl. "Are you leaving already?" she asks him in her sensual Caribbean tone, revealing the rest of her naked body - wide hips, narrow waist, and glowing skin. "I thought we could give it another shot. It was delicious." "I wish I could stay, beautiful, but I have a lot of things to do," Jarl says. The woman, a dark-skinned beauty with African curls, gets out of bed and bends down to pick up her clothes from the floor, giving Jarl a full view of her behind. In that moment, he feels his penis hardening again, but his watch reminds him that he should leave. If it weren't for needing Katrina, he would have stayed to eat th

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.

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.

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.

"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

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

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
