That night, Jarl stays until dawn in the castle with Katrina and then leaves. That same morning, he cancels all his planned activities at the office and meets with Gabriel. To their surprise, the inheritance is much greater than they actually knew.

"That Mauricio is a damned liar!" grumbles Jarl when Gabriel informs him about all his wife's assets. "That liar wanted to take absolutely everything."

"This is much more money than you can spend in your entire life, Jarl. Alpha Lauren was a very good investor. She made money just by breathing, damn her. All her businesses are quite prosperous."

"Not all, just look at these crappy coffee shops and clothing stores. I call this wasted money, the profits have been almost nonexistent in all these years since she died. She could have invested all that money here in Sofisthy."

"The question here is, what do you plan to do with all this?" Gabriel asks him. "What do you plan to do with the castle? That's also part of Katrina's inheritance, and obvi

    Katrina doesn't understand the sudden and violent change in her stepmother. Amber tries to help her, but Lorena's fury is stronger and she ends up pushing Katrina forcefully. Her friend tries to grab her hand, but she ends up falling to the ground just like her.The blonde rolls on the stone floor a few times and ends up sitting with a strong blow to her waist, which makes her emit a groan of pain."Katrina!" Amber quickly goes to her, worried. Katrina writhes in pain, unable to answer. Her face starts turning pale and sweaty. She puts her hands on her stomach to ease the pain."It hurts a lot," she whimpered. Amber takes her phone and immediately calls emergency services."This is the least you deserve," Lorena laughs when she sees her on the ground. She approaches threateningly with eyes shining in bright orange. "This is just the beginning of your torment if you don't leave the castle once and for all."At that moment, a black Porsche parks in front of the door, and Jarl quickly ge

    Katrina goes to the mansion with her husband, while Amber stays in her apartment."I have some things to solve at the office now," Jarl says as he enters the bathroom after they go up to the room. "I already instructed Sara to give you special attention. If you need anything, you can talk to her.""Isn't it too late for you to go to the office?" Katrina asks, sitting on the bed. "You said you would take care of me tonight."Jarl doesn't answer, as usual. Katrina is already used to his late-night outings and his obvious way of ignoring her.With a tired sigh, she takes off her shoes and lies down on the bed. She no longer feels any pain, but she prefers to follow her doctor's recommendations and rest. She puts her hands on her belly and closes her eyes, trying not to think about anything except for that little puppy growing inside her. She wonders how it's possible that he hasn't been able to feel it yet; parents usually feel their puppies even before the mother knows she's pregnant. C

    "Good morning, Mrs. Marta," Katrina says as she approaches her to greet her, but her mother-in-law turns away to avoid her getting closer."Jarl, my son, I didn't give birth to you for you to throw your life down the drain like this," Marta says, pointing at Katrina in a contemptuous manner. The young woman tries to say something, but nothing comes out. "What will happen when you are declared alpha and the members see what type of Luna you have? Nobody in the Amazon will respect her, nor you with this monstrosity by your side.""Mrs..." Katrina tries to defend herself, but Marta interrupts her."I don't understand you, son, being able to find someone of your caliber, someone in line with your power, with what you are going to represent in the Amazon soon. I can't even imagine the hellish life you will lead with her as your mate."Marta puts her hand to her forehead as if she's about to have an attack at any moment. Katrina feels a huge knot in her throat. Why is everyone so cruel to h

    In Tierra de Pinares, a man, blonde with deep blue eyes, disembarks from his private jet after being away from his country for a couple of months. His elegant and disdainful demeanor catches the attention of all the women as he passes by, who turn to admire such a specimen.Ragnar remains indifferent to what is happening around him, focused on a phone call about one of his many businesses around the world. His personal assistant, Octavio, waits for him, attentive to whatever his boss may need."I hope your trip was peaceful, alpha Shadowfang," Octavio says, adjusting his jacket.Ragnar hangs up his call before paying attention to him. He observes Octavio from head to toe, as is his custom, before answering any questions he may have."Good morning, Octavio. I have told you many times to call me Ragnar. What are our most urgent activities for today? Do you have any news about my family?"Ragnar makes his way to his parked truck a few meters away. Octavio follows closely behind."Yes, Al

    "Do I no longer have a son?!" the voice on the other end of the phone reproaches Ragnar immediately. "You spent two months out of the country and don't even feel like seeing your family? Why didn't you come home, Ragnar? Octavio told me that you arrived and went straight to your apartment.""Hello, mother," Ragnar responds. "Yes, I came to change. I have a meeting in exactly thirty minutes, I didn't have time to go to the mansion and come back.""You just arrived, Ragnar. Can't you stop working for at least a few hours to be with us? We are your family."Ragnar massages the bridge of his nose as he gets into the car."When I'm done here, I'll come, mother," he replies and ends the call. He will have time to talk to her calmly when he feels up to it. Right now, he feels overwhelmed with work and responsibilities.Julián starts the car again while looking at the alpha through the rearview mirror.

    "Finally, the alpha Shadowfang deigns to talk to me!" says Ruby, his sister. "I thought I had to schedule an appointment at the company just to be able to talk to you.""I was in a meeting, sister. How are you?""Well, we are angry and worried about you. I miss my brother, and Mom asks about you every day," Ruby complains. "You haven't called us even once in these two months. We know you are strong and can defend yourself, but we don't deserve your indifference.""I'm sorry, sister, but I really needed that time alone, to disconnect from Pine Woods.""I miss you a lot, brother, and so does Mom."Ruby's voice sounds very sad, and Ragnar is aware of it. He wants to have the strength to face what he is going through, but there are days when he can't stand himself, and he doesn't want others to bear him or his shitty personality."Are you coming home tonight?" his sister asks. "We can have dinner together, the three of us, at that restaurant you like so much.""I just need to finish every

She doesn't plan on staying here all day with her mother-in-law, criticizing her and telling her what a worthless person she is compared to her son.She takes a brief shower, then dresses in her typical jeans and t-shirt. She applies a little concealer to cover her deep dark circles, after all the vomiting and crying, and with a high ponytail, she is ready.Now she is absolutely sure that she is not going to tell anyone about her pregnancy, at least not right now or until her husband realizes.

    "I think you're a bit confused," says Jarl, looking at him intently. Something in his eyes frightens Mauricio. Jarl's eyes turn from a light brown to orange, and his voice becomes deeper. "I didn't ask you if you agreed or not.""What are you talking about, Jarl? Have you lost your mind? You are the president of Sofisthy, but I am the owner. I am the one who decides what is done and what is not.""You're not understanding anything, father-in-law," Jarl responds, impatiently tapping his fingers on the polished desk. "I don't need your permission for anything because you are not the owner of anything at all."Mauricio's eyes widen, while Jarl's smile grows wider. Does he know about Lauren's will?"I don't know what you're planning, but I don't intend to waste my time with you, Jarl," Mauricio stands up from his chair, but a threatening growl freezes him in place. He knows the character and strength of his son-in-law, not to mention that Job is the strongest and largest wolf in the Alba

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

    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.

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.

  • 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

    "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
