"Are you feeling okay, alpha?" Julian asks, finding Ragnar in the hallway with his back against the wall and a tormented expression on his face. "How is our moon doing?"

The mere mention of it increases the alpha's bad mood, and he immediately heads towards the exit.

"I'm going for a walk by the lake," Ragnar replies, ignoring his comment. "Then I'll take a bath and rest. I need you to prepare the other room for me and move all my things there while I'm outside."

Julian is left confused by his boss's sudden change. Just a while ago, there was no power in the world that could have made him leave Katrina's side, and now he's just leaving like that, without a word.

"Do you still want the investigator to do the job I told you about, alpha?" Julian asks, just before Ragnar heads towards the lake. "We already know her identity."

"Cancel that request. Get the apartment I asked for in the city. Everything indicates that she's already doing better and can leave to resolve her own life."

    "I found my mate having sex with my sister on the same day I went to tell him the news that I was expecting a puppy," Katrina says after a few minutes of silence. Ragnar looks up when he hears that, but doesn't say anything. Something in his chest twists with that confession. He had never felt such a strong urge to kill someone, especially when he hears her sob softly again."They set a trap for me to bring me here. My own husband shot me once and then rejected me. When he shot me a second time, I fell off that cliff. I only had time to accept his rejection before losing consciousness."That last statement furrows Ragnar's brow."He deceived me all this time, I believed that I was his true love because I loved him. On the full moon, when I turned 16, I recognized him, it was him, my mate, his scent was unmistakable when I passed by his side. He also recognized me, he marked me shortly after and we became boyfriend and girlfriend, since I was too young for the bond. In my pack, matings

  • Return of the betrayed MATE   Chapter 39. What does this mean?

    Katrina gets out of bed and walks slowly and as if in a trance to the bathroom, which is only a few meters away from her bed. She doesn't hear anything around her except for the beating of her own heart, which feels like it's pressing against her throat. It was a very bad idea to turn on the television. Hearing the news about her disappearance and seeing the hypocritical faces of Jarl and Lizzie crying and suffering because of it only make her more certain of her decision.Once in the bathroom, she closes the door and looks at herself in the mirror."What did I do wrong?" she asks herself, sadder than she has ever been before. Her voice barely comes out due to the huge knot in her throat.The sound of a door opening makes her sigh deeply to calm herself."Mrs. Katrina, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to do anything for you?" Julian asks from the other side of the bathroom door. She knows Ragnar is not there, because since they arrived at this apartment, she hasn't seen him all

    For Katrina, resuming her life after what happened is quite a challenging task to carry out. She feels extremely frustrated, but at the same time hopeful to start a new life in Tierra de Pinares. Since she woke up this morning, she has been sitting in front of the bedroom window, looking at the majestic city from above, the same city she will never return to once she leaves. She puts her hand on her now empty belly, and that feeling of loss and profound sadness overwhelms her, going beyond what she can bear. It's a horrible feeling that she's not sure she can ever overcome. The only thing that comforts her in these moments is knowing that she is no longer connected to Jarl or that family. She is determined to become a different person from now on. At least she has Ragnar, and with him, she feels like the safest woman in the world right now. That reminds her of what happened in the early morning. She blushes uncontrollably. She can't believe that she slept curled up with Ragnar's w

    Ragnar paces back and forth on the balcony with his cellphone in hand, as if weighing the most important decision of his life. Finally, he gathers his courage, quickly types a few words, and sends the message, hoping for a quick response."Wouldn't it be better to take her to the Moonlight Mansion, alpha?" Julian asks, approaching him with a cup of coffee. "She would be better taken care of there, plus she would have company with her mother and start getting to know all her functions as the pack's Luna. I can't imagine how the two of you will coexist in that attic.""You know why I'm doing this," Ragnar affirms, but Julian doesn't believe much in the reasons he repeats like a parrot. "I'm doing it for her, I'm only thinking about her right now, I'll figure out the rest along the way. I'd rather keep my mother and Ruby exempt from this matter."Julian nods with a smile on his lips. "Are you trying to tell me something with that gesture you just made?" Ragnar looks at him with a furrow

  • Return of the betrayed MATE   Chapter 42. The Auction

    On the outskirts of town, in a huge but mysterious mansion, Jarl parks his Porsche in the VIP area. Immediately, two men approach and escort Amber to the prey area, named so because it's where humans are locked up before being auctioned off for hunts."Handle this matter carefully, friend. Try not to do anything that will affect you," Gabriel advises."That flea-ridden bitch will pay for everything she did to me, Gabriel," Jarl replies."It's better to leave her hunt in the hands of the other partners, so that no one can associate you with her death," Gabriel tries to reason with Jarl, but he refuses to listen.Despite everything, Jarl agrees. Amber is still unconscious. The last thing she felt was a strong blow to the back of her head, and after that, everything went dark.The mansion's guard chains her up in an individual dungeon, where she is not in contact with the other prey. The place is semi-dark, with only the weak light of a low-quality bulb providing some clarity.After thei

    "I know people like you!" Amber glares at Jarl with anger and pain after several hours of struggling to escape, he finally manages to overpower her and tie her to a tree to torture her, she has abrasions all over her body and is terribly tired, so much so that it seems like she's going to faint any moment now. "This face you're showing now doesn't impress me at all, I always knew what kind of person you were.""And how am I supposed to be?" Jarl approaches her and forcefully pulls her hair to turn her face to the side, his neck twists so much that it looks like it's going to break. "Now you have the chance to say everything that's stuck in your throat about me, you little pest, but I won't let you leave here alive, only in pieces.""You're a damn, disgusting person!" Amber somehow manages to reach his face and with her fangs she inflicts a bleeding wound on his left cheek in a straight line, almost crossing from top to bottom. Jarl is stunned by this act, but to the young girl's surpr

  • Return of the betrayed MATE   Chapter 44. Can I sleep with you?

    Ragnar observes the woman sleeping on the couch and shakes his head."What was I thinking when I decided to bring her with me?" he thinks as he looks at her closely. In fact, he has been doing the same thing since he rescued her, he just can't stop. Her simple girl-next-door appearance, with her cotton pajamas adorned with unicorn drawings and her hair messily tied up, makes him laugh on one hand and feel tenderness on the other. It's obvious that she is not a pretentious woman and he finds that charming, although if she knew how to choose better outfits and take better care of herself, she would look very different from what she is now. For Ragnar, there is no doubt that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but Katrina doesn't seem to care much about luxuries and especially about her appearance.He looks at his watch and it's almost midnight. He gets up and gently lifts her from the couch to take her to his bed. He has even started to think that she does it on purpose, sinc

    Marcela is sitting in front of Amber's computer, going through every detail of it. All the files are related to her university, others to her work, except for one folder that contains many photos, videos, and links from a site she had heard rumors about before, but had never had such compelling evidence. Where did she get this from? What does Jarl Fenrisson have to do with this atrocious practice?Her doubts are immediately cleared when she plays a video. Of course, that monster is capable of this and much more. If he seemed detestable before, she now feels nothing but disgust for him.

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.

    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
