Grace Under Pressure Meaning

3 years ago, the Southern witch sealed the mate bond between Dylan and me with her spell. She said that if we still truly loved each other after 3 years, the bond would remain. Otherwise, it would be broken. During these years, I helped him become the Alpha of our pack as his Luna. But in his heart, there was someone else, his childhood sweetheart, Eleanor. When Eleanor found out that we had started our mate bond, she chose to leave with another werewolf. Dylan was drunk and cried out her name in my arms. His wolf claws scratched me. At that moment, my arm was bleeding, so was my heart. But I believed that he would gradually fall in love with me as time went on. I thought 3 years would be quite enough for that. When the 3 years are almost up, Eleanor returned. Dylan dropped an important meeting to meet with her. We lost $2 billion because of that. Dylan started being by her side every day, just like before. I used to be so afraid that when the time came, we wouldn’t be in love, and that I might lose Dylan. 7 days later, our mate bond would be gone. This time, I didn’t care anymore. It was just a countdown for me to become the Alpha Queen of my own pack.

I am trapped in the middle of a war I never asked for. A war written in blood, money, and betrayal. And if I don’t fight back, I will lose, and I don’t lose. It began the day I discovered the truth. I wasn’t who I thought I was. My real family, the Black family were billionaires, powerful and merciless, their legacy dripping with old money and ancient grudges. Bound by ties to the Bristo empire, their world was one I was never meant to enter. I was dragged into it, whether I want to be or not. To my newfound siblings, I am an intruder, a threat, a mistake that should have stayed buried. And above all, a rival. Because in their world, everything is a game of possession, including Lucas Bristo. Lucas, with his arrogance and impossible charm, infuriates me to my core. I despise the way his eyes pin me in place. I despise the heat that coils in my chest whenever he dares to touch me. Loving him was never part of the plan. But my heart doesn’t obey plans, and neither does his. Now my greatest enemies are not outsiders, but blood. My adopted sister, the one who lived the life meant for me has joined forces with my blood brother whom she is having an incestuous affair with. Together, they will stop at nothing to destroy me, to strip away the man I love and the empire that is rightfully mine.

Nachdem meine Zwillingsschwester Harper gestorben war, hasste mich mein Alpha-Gefährte zehn lange Jahre. Ein ganzes Jahrzehnt lang war ich seine Luna, und ich versuchte auf jede erdenkliche Weise, gut zu ihm zu sein. Eines Tages sagte er zu mir: „Wenn du mich wirklich um jeden Preis zufriedenstellen willst, dann stirb doch einfach.“ Als also ein Lastwagen auf mich zuraste, rührte ich mich keinen Zentimeter. Ich hätte niemals erwartet, dass Noah mich im letzten Moment zur Seite stoßen würde, um mich zu retten. Er wurde dabei schwer verletzt. Kurz bevor er starb, sah er mich an und flüsterte: „Charlotte, wenn ich dir nie begegnet wäre, wäre alles besser gewesen.“ Zu Noahs Beerdigung kamen alle Ältesten und sämtliche Mitglieder des Rudels. „Ich hätte Noah Harper als seine Luna wählen lassen sollen. Ich bereue es, ihn damals gezwungen zu haben, dich zu nehmen. Du hast ihn getötet!“ Noahs Mutter war von Trauer überwältigt. Auch Noahs Vater sagte: „Weißt du eigentlich, dass Noah dir dreimal das Leben gerettet hat? Er war ein so gutherziger Alpha. Warum bist nicht du gestorben?“ Alle auf der Beerdigung starrten mich voller Vorwürfe an. Am Ende wurde ich von der Trauerfeier hinausgeworfen, verloren und völlig verzweifelt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mithilfe einer Hexe durch ihren Zauber in die Vergangenheit zurück. Dieses Mal hatte ich eine Entscheidung getroffen. Ganz gleich, was passiert: Ich würde niemals wieder Noahs Luna werden.

A car accident left me with severe brain injuries. I was left hanging by a thread. My wife, a renowned medical genius, personally operated on me for 18 consecutive hours, pulling me back from death's grasp. Yet, the first words I said to her after waking up were, "Grace, I want a divorce." Her eyes were filled with tears. "Derek, I just saved your life, and now, you want to leave me? Is it because I've been too busy at the hospital? Because I haven't spent enough time with you?" I frowned. "It's exactly because you saved me that I want this divorce. I won't let you sacrifice your reputation for me." The family elders tried to reason with me. "Grace is such a wonderful wife. She takes care of everything and loves you deeply. Why insist on a divorce? Why throw away such happiness?" No matter who approached me, I dismissed them with the same response. "If you think she's so perfect, then she'll be available once we're divorced." The elders were furious. "Fine! Get your divorce! But don't come crying to us when you regret it!" I whispered under my breath, "The only thing I regret is not divorcing her sooner."
