A few days later…

In Sofisthy's offices, a man in an elegant gray suit with a perfect white collar shirt is sitting in the boardroom waiting for Jarl Fenrisson.

“Here is your coffee, Mr. Shadowfang” Jarl's assistant leaves the cup in front of the man. Her hand trembles a little. She has seen and heard about him in several business magazines and knows about his background. Her excitement is evident and Ragnar notices it, he tends to have that effect on people, although he also tends to intimidate them a bit. “President Fenrisson is arriving. If you need anything else, please let me know”

“Of course, miss, thank you very much” He takes a sip of his coffee while looking at some notifications on his phone, unconcerned. He finally managed to come to the Amazon to talk personally with Jarl about Sofisthy's actions. It is the last thing he needs to have almost all of Katrina's inheritance in his hands.

A notification on his screen makes him smile. It is Katrina who sends him a photo of a sen

Your tea is ready," Octavio comes out to meet her, takes her purse and the folders she has in her hand to help her."Good morning, Octavio. Do you have everything ready for today?""Yes, Luna Katrina.

    “Alpha Ragnar, it's me, Octavio”, he says with a shaky voice when Ragnar answers the phone in the hotel room where he is staying.“What's wrong, Octavio? Why are you calling this number instead of my cell phone?” Ragnar picks up his mobile, but just now realizes it's off due to low battery.“Luna Katrina has been trying to call you on your cell phone and couldn't get through, sir, the thing is she checked some of the titles of the companies under her name and then left the building suddenly, she seemed upset or restless about something and didn't want to tell me anything about it, just that she was going to the mansion. I thought you should know, alpha”.Ragnar remains silent for a long time, not knowing how to respond.“Alpha…”“It's okay, Octavio, don't worry, I'll talk to her. Tomorrow morning I'll be back to Tierra de Pinares”.After the call is cut off, Ragnar calls the mansion to ask about his wife, but one of the maids informs him that she hasn't arrived.He knows that the time

    "Ramiro, the investigator, found him, sweetheart," Ragnar's response brings a glimmer of hope to Katrina. "He is here in Europe, in Greece. He didn't know about your existence, your mother and him stopped seeing each other before she found out she was pregnant."A muffled sigh comes out of Katrina's chest. Akira is attentive to every word of her companion."Why...?" she can't formulate the complete question due to the great turmoil in her head and heart."He was discovered and brought to trial by his superiors, so he was exiled and stripped of his duties as a celestial. Although he has not been stripped of his powers, he cannot exercise his previous functions. He is now a hotel entrepreneur living in the human world, like one of them."Katrina nods, but remains silent for a long time. Ragnar gives her space and time. He rests her head on his chest while gently stroking her back. The harmonious beats of Ragnar's heart and the soft purring of Remus manage to calm her a little."He will

He enters the room, lays her on the bed, and takes the opportunity to lock the door and remove the key."I was with the little one," she says, trying to get up. "She'll cry if she wakes up and doesn't see me there.""She won't cry because she has a hundred people taking care of her and her brother," Ragnar replies firmly, taking off his shirt to be left only in

    Mauricio looks at his son-in-law, with his hands intertwined on the table."What do you plan to do, Jarl? Do you think you can hold out with what little you have left?"I will do whatever it takes, but I do not plan to lose the company.""You know you have my support, but still, we are not the majority, we have no way of having a say in important decisions. It will be best to find out who the new owner is, then analyze the possibilities we have.""When that man comes, I'll show him who's in charge here," Jarl rubs his face fiercely, as if trying to force himself awake. He has no doubt, it can only be Ragnar Shadowfang.He exits the room, slamming the doors with such force that even the window panes start to tinkle.

    Ragnar gazes at Anabella's tombstone and sighs deeply. That smell, so characteristic of lilies, envelops him in a gust that seems to come out of nowhere. He closes his eyes and imagines her, just as he used to when she was alive. He can still feel her delicate hands cradling his face before softly blowing on his forehead a couple of times, claiming that it was enough to rid his mind of those dark thoughts that tormented him. Of course, it was; she was the cure to all his pain back then.A smile creeps onto his face as he remembers her. It's been a long time, but there are occasions when he can't help but miss her.

The phone at Alba Noctis Castle rings, and one of the young maids answers."Is this the Grimlore family?" Mary asks immediately when the call connects."Yes. Who would you like to speak to, miss?""I'm looking for Alpha Jarl Fenrisson," Mary replies."Alpha Jarl is not at the castle at this hour, but I can take your message and give it to him when he comes.""Don't take this the wrong way, but I need to speak with him personally.

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
