Coco Chanel Quotes

My marriage to Dante Moretti shocked everyone. I’ve got a fiery temper and I don’t back down. Three years into our marriage, the entire Chicago underworld knew we were at each other's throats. Except in bed. There, our bodies just fit. The only time we weren't at war was when we were tangled in the sheets, lost in a storm of desperate kisses and raw pleasure. Countless times, he’d tell me he was obsessed with my body, always right as he was sinking into me. I thought it was his way of saying he was falling for me. That all came crashing down at an auction, when he snatched my mother's heirloom from me, only to give it to her—a fragile-looking girl named Ava. That’s when he showed me a cruelty I’d never seen. "It's time for a reality check, Elara," he’d said, his voice cold as ice. "Marrying you, fucking you… it was all just to keep the peace between our families. Ava is the one I want to protect." But the day I finally left Chicago, the day I announced our divorce to the world… That cold, calculating Mafia Don hunted for me like a man possessed.

Na cerimônia em que meu noivo, Mattew, seria coroado Alfa da alcateia Riverdale, ele rejeitou publicamente nosso vínculo de companheiros. Ele escolheu Claire, que já estava grávida do seu filho. — Claire e a família dela podem me ajudar a garantir meu título de Alfa — ele disse, sem o menor sinal de vergonha. — E eu preciso que ela me dê um herdeiro. E eu? — Apenas espere um ano. O título de Luna ainda será seu. Todos acharam que eu simplesmente aceitaria. Afinal, eu tinha sido desesperadamente devotada a ele por sete anos. Mas naquela mesma noite, eu fui embora para encontrar meu companheiro destinado da Segunda Chance. Três anos depois, voltei à alcateia Riverdale, acompanhando meu companheiro — o Rei Alfa — em sua viagem pelos territórios. Ele teve alguns assuntos de última hora para resolver e enviou outra pessoa para me buscar. Mas, no aeroporto, eu encontrei Mattew. Ele olhou para mim com pena. — Já terminou seu pequeno chilique? O filho da Claire precisa de uma babá. Você pode voltar e cuidar dele.

Lors de la cérémonie où mon fiancé, Mattew, devait être couronné Alpha de la meute Riverdale, il a publiquement rejeté notre lien d'âmes sœurs. Il a choisi Claire, qui portait déjà son enfant. « Claire et sa famille peuvent m'aider à consolider mon titre d'Alpha, » a-t-il dit, sans la moindre honte. « Et j'ai besoin qu'elle me donne un héritier. » Quant à moi ? « Attends juste un an. Le titre de Luna sera quand même à toi. » Tout le monde pensait que j'allais simplement accepter. Après tout, je lui avais été éperdument dévouée pendant sept ans. Mais ce soir-là même, je suis partie à la recherche de ma Seconde Chance. Trois ans plus tard, je suis revenue à la meute Riverdale, accompagnant mon compagnon, le Roi Alpha, dans sa tournée des territoires. Il avait eu un contretemps de dernière minute et avait envoyé quelqu'un d'autre me chercher. Mais à l'aéroport, je suis tombée sur Mattew. Il m'a regardée avec pitié. « Tu en as fini avec tes caprices ? Le fils de Claire a besoin d'une nounou. Tu peux revenir et t'occuper de lui. »​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After I was reborn, I was the one who changed the name on my blood bond with Prince Mortlock. I wrote in “Isabella”—the other vampire he’d always cherished, always protected. When Isabella wanted the ruby necklace, the one that marked the Prince's Mate, I let her have it. The wedding dress Mortlock had prepared for me? I gave that to Isabella, too. I did it all because in my past life, I got my wish. I became Mortlock’s mate, but I lived every moment in Isabella’s shadow. In the end, during a battle with vampire hunters, Mortlock ran to a wounded Isabella first. I was the one left to take a silver stake through the heart. So this time, I decided to let them be. To stay far away from Mortlock. But this time, the cold, distant Prince wept and begged me to be his mate again.

Though Micheal loved me deeply, When he was deceived by Ruby's lies,He lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. He believed that I had killed his grandfather for the inheritance and that I had slept with other men and was pregnant with that man's child.So he cruelly subjected me to humiliation again and again. When he personally pushed me into the abyss, all the love turned to ashes—never to return in this lifetime...

I was Alpha Dylan’s “mate-in-waiting” for six years. Every night, he’d make love to me, worshipping every inch of my body. On our sixth anniversary, he promised me a surprise. I thought he was finally going to make me his official Luna. Instead, I watched him place the moonstone necklace, the symbol of the Luna, around the neck of Lady Lilith from the Black Forest Pack. He took my hand and explained, “Lilith has a rare disease, Moon-Eater's sickness. The only cure is to complete the mating bond with a powerful Alpha.” “Don’t worry. In three months, you’ll take your rightful place as my Luna.” I didn’t cry or fight like I used to. Instead, I sent a message to the Alpha King, the fated mate I once rejected. “About your offer to marry me… I accept.”

Estuve con Don Massimo durante cinco años. Durante todo ese tiempo, él nunca ocultó a su favorita: Cara. La hija de su chófer. El hombre que recibió una bala por él. Él lo llamó «pagar una deuda». Y yo, como una tonta, se lo creí. Le dio joyas. Autos veloces. Incluso le compró una maldita isla. Tres días antes de la boda, descubrí que había cambiado el lugar. No en la finca de mi familia en Sicilia. Sino en la isla. La isla de ella. ¿Su excusa? Cara era claustrofóbica. No soportaría una gran boda en un lugar cerrado. Estaba harta. Tres días después, la boda se celebró en esa isla. Pero la novia no apareció. Massimo fue humillado públicamente. Recorrió la ciudad de esquina a esquina, buscándome. Fue entonces cuando lo descubrió. Pensó que se casaría conmigo. En cambio, me casé con su mayor enemigo. Nikolai Volkov. El padrino de la Bratva rusa. Dejó a Cara. Corrió a la finca de mi familia y esperó. Siete días y siete noches. Con flores, un anillo y un montón de súplicas.

My fated mate, Alpha Rylan, turned cold the moment our bond snapped into place. They all say I'm just a lowly omega. That I'm not good enough for him. I started to believe them. To think my wolf was broken. Maybe this wasn't a mate bond at all, just a pathetic crush. Then, on the day I finally decided to give up, a second wolf awakened in my mind: Echo. She screamed at me that Rylan craved me. That he loved me. And just like that, my hope was rekindled. He hurt me ninety-eight times in seven years. Seventy-seven of those were for his adopted sister, Morrigan. Each time, Echo insisted he just didn't know how to show his love. And favoring Morrigan? That was just to make me jealous. To see that I cared. But the ninety-ninth time was the last straw. He left me for dead in enemy territory. When I woke up, the gift he'd prepared for me was in Morrigan’s hands. I was done. Finally. I called the Elders with a single request: "I want to sever my bond with Alpha Rylan. I'm leaving. For good."

Have you guys ever encountered a gorgeous landlady when renting an apartment? I live just opposite mine. Initially, I think she's an aloof beauty. That impression changes when I catch her swaying her hips as she sweeps the staircase one day. Later, after we get to know each other better, she enthusiastically invites me to her place for some fun. One day, I hide in her closet and watch her and her husband get it on…

My family's fate was sealed in an ancient war. We saved the lord of the Clare clan. In return, their lord forged an ancient blood pact with my line. Each generation, a woman from my family can choose a mate from the Clare heirs, to birth a hybrid child—one who walks in daylight, blessed with eternal life. When my time came, I didn't hesitate. I chose the eldest son, Evan, who had been in a cursed slumber for a century. Every vampire in the room was in disbelief. After all, everyone knew I'd spent the last few years obsessed with the third son, Julian. It had to be him, or no one. In my last life, I got my wish. I bonded with Julian and helped him seize control of the family's vast biotech empire. But after our union, he started an affair with my adopted sister, Chloe. To punish her for breaking the blood pact, the family exiled Chloe. Julian, however, was convinced I had orchestrated the whole thing. He hated me to his very core. From then on, he kept a string of lovers, and every single one of them looked like Chloe. The heartbreak shattered me. In the end, he poisoned my life-sustaining elixirs, making my flesh rot from my bones, and sacrificed my very soul in a dark ritual. Reborn, I decided to let them have each other. But I never imagined Julian would be reborn, too.
