Do Not Go Gentle Tattoo

The first time I saw Daniel, I did not think he would become the man who would change everything. It was a quiet evening, the kind where the sky looked tired and the wind carried the scent of rain. I had gone to the café only to escape my thoughts. Love and I had never been on good terms, and I had long decided that my heart was safer when it belonged only to me. Then he walked in. He wasn’t loud or dramatic. In fact, if you weren’t paying attention, you might have missed him completely. But there was something about the way he moved—calm, steady, like a man who understood the rhythm of life. When his eyes met mine, he smiled. Not the kind of smile men give when they want something from you. No. This one was different. It was warm, patient… almost like he already knew my story. I looked away quickly, pretending to read my phone, but my heart betrayed me. It beat faster, louder, as if it was whispering a secret I was not ready to hear. That night, I didn’t know his name. I didn’t know his voice. But somehow, in the quiet space between strangers, something had already begun. And before long, Daniel would teach me something I had spent years running from: What it truly means to love… and to be loved to the full.

Depois de terminar o treinamento de Luna que toda loba sonhava, fui até meu Alfa, Damien, com um pedido. Para romper nosso vínculo de companheiros. — Tudo isso, só porque perdi sua cerimônia para ajudar a companheira do meu falecido irmão, Lilith, com os renegados no território dela? Ele deu um sorrisinho de desdém e falou baixinho, com a voz rouca. Assenti, em silêncio. — Dei minha palavra ao meu irmão antes dele morrer. Jurei que protegeria Lilith. Não posso quebrar esse juramento! Por que você não consegue entender? — ele sussurrou, suspirando pesadamente. — Pare de ser tão infantil! Por que você não pode ser razoável, como Lilith é? Eu o empurrei com uma calma gélida. Dez anos. Por dez anos depois que nosso vínculo foi confirmado, abri mão de tudo. Cada passatempo, cada sonho… tudo para aprender a ser a Luna dele. Todos na alcateia achavam que eu era indefesa sem ele. Que eu não conseguiria nem sobreviver sem a proteção dele. Mas dessa vez, eu estava farta. Ele não sabia que eu já tinha contatado as alcateias neutras em outra terra. Eu estava indo para algum lugar onde o cheiro Alfa dele nunca poderia me alcançar.

No terceiro ano de casamento, Luiza Mello finalmente descobriu quem era a verdadeira dona do coração de Ethan Soares: sua cunhada, Gabriela. Na noite da morte do irmão mais velho de Ethan, ele ignorou completamente Luiza, sua esposa, que estava ao seu lado, e defendeu Gabriela sem hesitar. Ele chegou até a tomar um tapa por ela. Luiza sabia que Ethan só havia se casado com ela porque ela era submissa e sabia seu lugar. E, de fato, ela era tão "compreensiva" que até mesmo o divórcio aconteceu sem dar a ele qualquer trabalho. Ethan não sabia que ela já tinha o documento de divórcio em mãos. Ethan não sabia que ela estava prestes a se casar novamente. No dia em que Luiza apresentou ao mundo sua revolucionária cura para o câncer, ela foi aclamada globalmente. Mas enquanto todos aplaudiam, Ethan estava de joelhos, com lágrimas nos olhos, implorando: — Luiza, eu errei. Me perdoa. Volta para mim, por favor. Ele, sempre visto como um cavalheiro perfeito e impecável, agora se curvava, vulnerável, admitindo seus erros. Luiza recuou um passo, e antes que Ethan pudesse se aproximar, um homem poderoso e inalcançável segurou sua cintura. Ele era o CEO mais temido do país e declarou friamente: — Desculpe, Ethan, Ela vai se casar, mas é comigo.

Cresci fora do país. Com medo de eu arrumar um genro estrangeiro, a minha mãe resolveu me arranjar um noivo bonito e talentoso em São Paulo, e me chamou de volta para o noivado. Quando fui à Boutique de Luxo escolher meu vestido de noivado, eu me encantei por um vestido longo tom creme, tomara que caia. Quando me preparei para experimentá-lo, uma mulher olhou de soslaio para o vestido em minhas mãos e disse à atendente: — Esse modelo é bem diferente, deixa eu experimentar. A atendente, com ação brusca, arrancou o vestido das minhas mãos. Eu, indignada, disse: — Cada coisa tem sua ordem! Eu vi esse vestido primeiro, vocês ainda têm noção de justiça? Mas ela me olhou com desprezo e respondeu: — Esse vestido custa 188 mil. Você, uma pobretona, consegue pagar isso? — Eu sou irmã de consideração de Eduardo Monteiro, presidente do Grupo Monteiro. Em São Paulo, quem decide o que é “justo” é só a Família Monteiro! Que coincidência! Eduardo Monteiro é meu noivo. Imediatamente liguei para Eduardo: — Sua irmã de consideração acabou de roubar meu vestido de noivado. Como você vai resolver isso?

"Repeat that, Bella. Say 'no' again, and I promise you that'll be the last thing you ever say on this earth," Damien Alejandro says, pointing a gun to my head. His icy, cold voice sent shivers down my spine, and somehow, his voice scared me more than the gun pressed to my temple. “I…I…I do," I stammered, the words tasting like bile on my lips. “You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced. --- Isabella is kidnapped on her wedding day and taken to an undisclosed location, where she is forced to marry a stranger, Damien Alejandro, who turns out to be a dangerous Mafia king. He claims her father sold her to him, but there's one problem—she has no father. She promised herself she wouldn't fall for the enemy, but what's a girl to do when a six-foot-three, gorgeous man shows a soft spot for her and can't keep his hands off her?

My fiance, Victor Blackwood, is a mafia boss who rules the country's underworld with an iron fist. To the rest of the world, he is the epitome of power. Yet to me, he is the embodiment of love. But I do not realize the cost of loving a man like him. On Valentine's Day, I cook his favorite dishes and wait for him to come home. However, time passes, and his chair stays empty. Uneasy, I go to Queenie Stone's social media page. She is Victor's foster sister. She posts, "All I said was that I felt lonely, and he came right away. "Even when I accidentally spilled wine on him, he didn't mind. Victor is still someone who puts family first, even if it means neglecting his lover. "He never lets me down. I hope things stay that way." In the photo, Victor's shirt is soaked at the waist. Queenie's handkerchief lingers near his most private parts, but he doesn't pull away. He merely looks at her affectionately. I do not make a fuss and give Queenie's post a like. Then, I send Victor a message that reads, "Let's break up." Victor ignores it as always. Later, I discover that when my breakup message popped up, he had said offhandedly, "Vivienne can't live without me. She's just acting out. "If I ignore her for a few days, she'll come crawling back by herself. She's easy to please." What he doesn't know is that I was easy to handle only because I once loved him. But now that I have decided to leave, he cannot make me turn back, no matter how he tries to win me over.

"It's me against me, Tine. I am not here to lend you some options. You'll let go of that damn profession whether you like it or not. You're going to do as what as I say. You're all mine, baby. Mine."

Callan kissed me thoroughly, fanning the flames between us before nibbling my lip.Craving more, I opened my mouth in sweet invitation. He ran his tongue along mine, and then deepened the kiss. I clung to the sides of his shirt, swaying into him. Callan’s hands drifted down to grab my bottom and pull me fully against him.

Before the engagement ceremony takes place, my fiance, Vincenzo Rizzi, makes a formal announcement on the deck of a cargo ship docked at the new harbor. Apparently, my younger stepsister, Sofia Russo, will become his legitimate wife. Vincenzo has an arm wrapped around Sofia's waist. As they stand beneath the spotlight, Vincenzo smiles tenderly at her. "According to the mafioso's rules, only those who have received the core elders' acknowledgment shall become the Madre of the family. Others are nothing but lovers and mistresses."
