After that intense reconciliation, they go together to the mansion. Throughout the whole way, he doesn't let go of her hand, no need to say much, as Ragnar's happy face says it all. Remus keeps purring, causing tingles all over his body. His beast is the happiest that they have finally made up.Everyone in the house is asleep when they arrive, which is lucky, as Ragnar takes her straight to their room. Once there, they shower together and under the water, he possesses her again. He can't get enough of her and she knew it when they undressed and she saw the huge erection emerging from his pants, the alpha's passion is strong, although he doesn't want to force her due to the pregnancy."I'll go to the kitchen to get something to eat," he says, leaving a kiss on her cheek as he leaves the shower. Carefully, he slips one of his shirts over her head for her to use as pajamas and no underwear, which hints at Katrina of his intentions for later. "Are you hungry? Do you want something in part
In the Amazon, a young woman of unparalleled beauty is preparing for a very important private presentation. Outside, the place is crowded, and her performance time is just a few minutes away."He's already here, Amber. Hurry up, I want you to be in the booth before him," Marcela says, helping her with her mask. Although she doesn't really need it after the plastic surgery she had, she prefers to make sure that Jarl doesn't recognize her."I'm ready," Amber puts on a touch of perfume and immediately walks down the long, dark hallway leading to the booth where she must meet that man. There are no longer any marks of the torture she suffered on her body, as her she-wolf took care of erasing them after a long process, but a strange and malicious smile appears on her face as she thinks of the revenge she has prepared.At the bar of the same bar, Maite is enjoying her caipirinha as if nothing is happening. She arrived about thirty minutes ago, Jarl and Gabriel have also just arrived, but sh
At Alba Noctis Castle, Lizzie is furious, throwing all her shoes and dresses to the floor. It has been a few months since her wretched sister died, and Jarl hasn't even shown any signs of proposing to her and finally declaring her the Moon of the pack."What's wrong, daughter? Are you crazy? - Lorena enters her daughter's room upon hearing the commotion she is causing - Why are you so nervous? You're going to ruin everything.""I hate him, mom," the young girl puts both hands on her face while kicking. "Last night he was with another woman, I know, I could smell it on him. He's cheating on me.""And you're upset about that? Oh, Lizzie, men do that all the time, they sleep with any female who opens their legs for them. You shouldn't suffer for that, in the end, he'll always come back to you, and that's the power you have over him."Lorena starts picking up everything her daughter has just thrown on the floor."It's the same as last time, I know by the disgusting perfume. Besides, he ha
Six weeks later...A rather tall and elegant man, wearing a gray suit, runs through the hallways of the clinic with his heart beating fast and his breath quite labored.His vision blurs at times and he even feels like he might faint from the overwhelming anxiety. He abruptly left a meeting in which he was when he received the news from Sebastian that Katrina had suffered a breakdown and had a bleeding while training the youngest members of the pack. He didn't even care to let anyone know and left everything to come see her."My son," Paula steps into his path and takes him by both arms to stop him."Where is my wife, mother?" he asks agitatedly. "What happened to her? How are my children?""The doctor is examining her at the moment. He has not come out yet to give us a report on her condition. We are very scared, Ragnar, she did not look well when we arrived in the emergency room, she was in a lot of pain and wouldn't stop bleeding. Akira was crying very restlessly."What his mother s
After a while, Ragnar regains his body and dresses in another jumpsuit that Moreira provides him. Katrina is taken to observation for a few hours, as well as the twins. He stays by his partner's side the whole time. Eventually, one of the nurses approaches with a small blue bundle on her left arm and a pink bundle on her right and places them in Ragnar's arms. Both are healthy and strong babies, with an undeniable resemblance to Ragnar, with their brown hair and clear eyes. Ragnar doesn't even know how to react with these tiny beings in his arms. He feels a huge urge to cover their pink cheeks with kisses, but he resists, to avoid waking them up, as they look adorable while they sleep. "Welcome, Ethan," he whispers sweetly to his son. "Welcome Selene, my precious daughter," he now says to his daughter. Ragnar admires their little faces, melting with love. He is still incredulous and excited. He is a father now, not just of one, but of two beautiful pups. His hands tremble when h
In the Amazon, Marcela is anxious. She has been sitting here for almost an hour waiting for the envoy of that man who promised to help overthrow Jarl.She looks at her watch for the thousandth time and grows more impatient with each glance. The message she found on her phone said it was imperative that they meet. Did they find out that Amber is associating with Jarl to gather more evidence against him? She has no idea, but what she does know is that she will help her friend at all costs to destroy that scoundrel Fenrisson.She looks again towards the dark street of this café forgotten by the world and sighs at her damn luck. Did he leave her standing here?Just as she is about to get up and leave, a shadow from behind gives her hand a small squeeze, indicating that she should sit back down."Marcela," the woman says, taking the seat across from her, setting aside her purse and a briefcase. Maite takes the seat and immediately signals the waiter to serve coffee to both of them. "I'm so
The next day, Jarl is sitting in his office, massaging his temples. He didn't even have time to go home and change before coming to the office, and the headache is putting him in a bad mood. He has many pending meetings for this morning from very early on, and that is overwhelming him."Here, take this," Gabriel says, placing a large cup of black coffee in front of him. "I told you it wasn't good to overdo it.""Don't start with that," Jarl grumbles, pointing at him. "You're not my mom to scold me. I've had enough of you; if it bothers you so much, I'll give you the chance to leave so you won't have to put up with me anymore.""It's true, I'm not your mom, but I'm your friend, Jarl. And my job is precisely that, to advise you. You need to control yourself before this spirals out of control.""It's not that serious," Jarl scoffs, taking a long sip of his coffee. "Everything is under control, and you know it.""It's not. You're spending too much, and profits have reduced. For months, in
In the castle, Alba Noctis, Lizzie, and Lorena are watching in shock on the TV as they see what is happening with Jarl. This is the opportunity they were waiting for to offer their help to Jarl and come out on top of all of this.Jarl's phone rings incessantly in the pocket of his jacket. He has his eyes closed and his head thrown back, trying not to think about how terrible his situation is, but when he opens his eyes and looks at the screen, he can't help but get angry."I'm not here to put up with your nonsense!" he answers furiously, putting the phone on speaker. "Find someone else to screw with.""I was calling to offer you a solution to most of your problems right now, but if you're not interested...""And what are you supposed to do?" Jarl asks sarcastically."I can help you with the press, for example," she says with a smile. "I can make everyone believe that this is the work of someone who just wants to see you destroyed, but that nothing is true, that it was all fabricated."
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
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
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
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
