Anais Nin Quotes

I was the "weak" Luna, my Alpha husband threw away like trash. He poisoned me with Moonbane Rune Stones, banished me to the Dark Forest, and handed my Luna robes to his pregnant mistress. The Dark Forest was supposed to be my grave. It became my throne. I returned as something no one expected—powerful enough to make Alphas tremble, beautiful enough to be unrecognizable, and dangerous enough to shatter everything my ex-husband built. When the legendary Lycan King knelt before me and called me "My Luna" in front of the entire Pack council, my ex-husband's arrogant smile finally crumbled. Welcome to your nightmare, Leighton. I am back.

Sebagai kepala keluarga kriminal Valenti, yang dikenal seantero kota sebagai "Il Macellaio" Atlas Valenti adalah sosok yang ditakuti dan dihormati, dengan pikiran strategis yang cemerlang dan rasa keadilan yang tanpa ampun. Tapi di balik wajah yang bersudut tajam dan tatapan mata hijau yang dingin, tersembunyi luka dalam yang tak pernah sembuh. Pada usia tujuh tahun, dia menyaksikan ibunya terbunuh saat melindunginya dari musuh keluarga. Pada usia 29, dia menemukan cinta sejati dalam diri Luna Moretti, wanita yang mampu menghancurkan tembok emosional yang dia bangun selama bertahun-tahun. Mereka diatur untuk menikah guna menyatukan dua keluarga mafia terkuat di kota: Valenti dengan kekuasaan mereka di bidang real estat dan hubungan internasional, serta Moretti dengan kendali mereka atas pelabuhan dan koneksi politik. Namun Atlas jatuh cinta bukan karena kesepakatan melainkan karena kehangatan dan kebaikan yang hanya Luna bisa berikan padanya. Malam sebelum dia berencana untuk melamarnya dengan cincin keluarga kuno, nasib memutar balik, Aisha, saudara perempuan Luna, mengemudi dalam keadaan mabuk dan menyebabkan kecelakaan yang menewaskan calon istrinya. Didesak oleh ayahnya Marcello Valenti dan tuntutan aliansi yang tak dapat dibatalkan, Atlas terpaksa menikahi Aisha, pengantin pengganti yang menjadi sumber kebencian membara baginya. Setiap hari, dia harus menghadapi wanita yang telah mencuri masa depannya, menggunakan kata-kata dan pengabaian sebagai senjata dalam perang psikologis yang dia lakukan. Sementara itu, dia terus menjaga ingatan Luna hidup dengan cara-cara kecil: mengirim bunga lili putih ke makamnya setiap minggu, menyimpan buku agenda dan cincin pertunangan yang tak terpakai di laci mejanya, dan menghindari setiap tempat yang pernah mereka kunjungi bersama. Namun, ketika ancaman dari keluarga saingan mulai mengintai dan kedudukan keluarga Valenti terancam, Atlas harus menghadapi pilihan yang sulit: apakah dia akan terus terjebak dalam kesedihan dan kebencian yang menghancurkan dirinya, ataukah dia akan menemukan cara untuk melepaskan masa lalu dan melindungi apa yang tersisa?

“Oh my… ang aking Kapitan! Mabuti naman naalala mo ako! Hmp malapit ng magtampo sa’yo si Lola. Ilan taon na din ang nakalipas.” Sabi ni lola ng may pagtatampo sa kaniyang tinig. “Magagawa ba naman kitang tiisin, ikaw ata ang pinaka-mamahal kong Lola!” nakangiti kong sagot kay Lola sabay yakap sa kaniya. Habang masaya akong bumabati kay Lola ay isang pigura ng babaeng nakatalikod ang unti-unting tumayo at nakangiting humarap sa amin. Si Yvette. Hindi ko inaasahan na dadating siya ngayong araw. Nakangiti siya pero makikita sa kaniyang mata ang kakaibang lungkot, isang damdamin na kahit anong tago ang gawin ay hindi niya maitatanggi. Si Yvette ang dati kong karelasyon at muntik ko ng mahalin matapos kong aliwin ang aking sarili ng malaman kong naging boyfriend ni Karmela si Andrew. Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita ko siya. Wala naman akong pakielam sa kaniya pero knowing Yvette? Paniguradong gagawa siya ng eksena at ayokong matakot si Karmela dahil sa kaniya. Lumapit siya sa akin at nag beso. Nakangiti niya akong binati ngunit may halong pait sa kaniyang boses “My Captain Xian Herrera… its nice to see you again. Ang tagal na din ng huli nating pagkikila” may panunuya siyang tumingin kay Karmela at mapait ng ngumiti sa kaniya “siya ba? Siya ba ang dahilan kung bakit hindi mo ako sinuyo? Kaya naman pala bigla kang nawala sa picture. May bago ka na palang pinagkaka-abalahan!” Nang marinig ko ang sinabing iyon ni Yvette ay alam kong hindi lang iyon simpleng pagpuna. Naramdaman ko sa kaniyang boses ang matinding hinanakit. Kinapitan ko ng mahigpit ang kamay ni Karmela at tinignan siya na parang sinasabing “ huwag kang mag-alala hindi kita pababayaan.”
