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

"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

"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. He has known him since he was a cub and knows that something is bothering him, but he is no

Katrina organizes some things in her flowery backpack to go to Amber's apartment and see if she can rescue some of her notes and folders that were left behind in the castle when Lorena attacked her. 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. Knowing Marta, she is capable of doing something to make her lose her puppy. She is not going to allow any harm to come to her child, even if she has to hide it until the moment of birth. She doesn't know exactly how she will do it, but she will find a way.Once ready, she grabs her things and quietl

"You can't do that, I am your companion, your wife, not your prisoner, Jarl," Katrina screams with disappointment welling up in her eyes."Of course I can, and I am already doing it. You know me, Katrina, you know that if you resist, it will be worse for you.""What will happen to my studies and my job? The salary I earn there is my livelihood," the young woman sobs, filled with anguish."You are my wife, as long as you are here, you will not lack anything.""The connection you said we had was false?" Jarl snorts as he hears her. Katrina begins to cry. "What do you want from me, Jarl, if you don't even love me?"Jarl stands up and grabs her by the waist, throws her onto the bed, and gets on top of her. Katrina is suddenly terrified."What I want is to fuck you in every possible way until both your body and mine can't take anymore. I want you to fulfill me as a woman and as a wife, squeeze me so much that you leave me finished. I want to feel every part of your body, to feel it complet
