Chapter 40. It's beautiful
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

Chapter 41. I'd Rather Not Take the Risk
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

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

Chapter 43. Damned, Jarl!
"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

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

Chapter 46. It's Amber!
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. What mysterious meeting is this? She is tempt

"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
