last update Last Updated: 2024-02-02 07:27:28

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.

    "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

    The meeting ends several hours later. When Lizzie arrives at the company, everyone has already left the boardroom."I finished packing as you asked, Jarl. Now I'm going to have lunch with my mother, and then I'll cover my afternoon shift. I just came to let you know," the young woman says to Jarl while looking at her watch."I'll pick you up at 9 pm. I want you to accompany me to a place tonight," Jarl says. "It's something important, so put effort into your outfit. I want you in that red dress I made you pay for last week, and those high transparent heels.""I don't think that's an appropriate outfit for business, Jarl.""It's a business meeting, but nobody will see you, except the people I want to see you.""What people?""That's none of your business. Just put on the damn dress and obediently wait for me at the door at the time I told you. It's an order!"Lizzie tries to protest, but Jarl slams the door in her face and leaves her alone.

    "Release the prey!" The old man orders from the box, addressing the man who is there watching over, Lizzie is now alone in the arena, her gaze fixed on the post where Amber, badly injured, is tied up. "I want to see if you are worth the bet this man has placed on your head."The young woman's chin trembles, but she's here now and she has no choice but to fight if she wants to survive.She tears her dress a little more with her nails to leave it at knee-length. This will give her greater mobility, despite her sandals not being of much help, and she was warned not to take them off. She ties up her long ponytail and adjusts her breasts in her cleavage before getting into a fighting stance. She doesn't think Amber will give her too much trouble in such deplorable conditions, but she knows she was always very quick and calculating. It's likely that she already has a plan in her head to confront her and come out victorious. Lizzie won't allow it, not only because her own life hangs on a thi

    The bathroom door where Lizzie is located sounds again, but she ignores it again. Almost an hour later, she comes out, Jarl is standing in a corner, with his back against the wall, patiently waiting for her.Lizzie takes the bag of clothes that he hands her and begins to dress without saying a word. Then, she goes to the exit without even looking at her companion. Jarl follows her.She doesn't say a word the whole way home. Jarl also doesn't seem very inclined to talk to her, although he tries."Do you want to go for a drink at a bar before going home? It's still early," he says, glancing at her."I want to go home," she answers, without even looking at him. Tomorrow, well-rested and with a clear head, she will think of something to make him pay for this. And she has already decided, it won't come cheap for him.Finally, Jarl drops her off at the castle and leaves. On the way, he receives a message on his cell phone that pleases him like nothing else.

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.

    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
