Mam谩 Coco Daughter

Após renascer, fui eu quem mudou o nome no meu vínculo de sangue com o Príncipe Mortlock. Escrevi "Isabella" — a outra vampira que ele sempre amou, sempre protegeu. Quando Isabella quis o colar de rubi, aquele que marcava a companheira do príncipe — eu o dei a ela. O vestido de noiva que Mortlock havia preparado para mim? Também o dei para Isabella. Fiz tudo isso porque, na minha vida passada, consegui o que queria. Tornei-me a companheira de Mortlock, mas vivi cada momento à sombra de Isabella. No fim, durante uma batalha contra caçadores de vampiros, Mortlock correu primeiro até Isabella, que estava ferida. Fui eu quem ficou para trás e acabou com uma estaca de prata atravessada no coração. Então, desta vez, decidi deixá-los em paz. Ficar bem longe de Mortlock. Mas, desta vez, o príncipe frio e distante chorou e implorou para que eu me tornasse sua companheira novamente.

Die Familie Rossi hatte eine Regel. Wer die nächste Donna werden wollte, musste sich beweisen. Innerhalb eines einzigen Jahres dreihundert Millionen Euro verdienen. Sauberes Geld. Ganz allein. Ohne jede Hilfe der Familie. Ich hatte zehn Jahre lang dafür gekämpft. Für Vincent. Ich hatte zehn Firmen aus dem Nichts aufgebaut. Und jedes einzelne Mal, kurz bevor ich die Ziellinie erreichte, lief etwas schief. Alles brach einfach ... in sich zusammen. Dieses Jahr hatte ich es endlich geschafft. Mit dem Prüfbericht in der Hand rannte ich in sein Arbeitszimmer. Mein Herz schlug mir bis zum Hals. Ich glaubte, ich hätte endlich gewonnen. Stattdessen erfuhr ich, dass mein ganzes Leben auf einer Lüge aufgebaut hatte. Er übergab mein gesamtes Imperium Ava Rossi. Der Bastardtochter meines Vaters. Nur weil sie ihm angeblich einmal das Leben gerettet hatte und er deshalb sie zur wahren Donna machen wollte. In diesem Moment gab ich auf. Ihn. Und auch den Traum meiner Familie, gemeinsam mit seiner aufzusteigen. Dann nahm ich das Telefon in die Hand und rief das Outfit in Chicago an. „Dein Heiratsantrag“, sagte ich. „Ich nehme ihn an.“

After being reborn, I decide to stay far, far away from Jasper Swanson. I resign from his company. I sell our future wedding house. I go overseas to expand our family's business. In my previous life, I used a pregnancy to force him to marry me. But on our wedding day, his beloved first love jumped off a rooftop. Jasper acted like nothing had happened. He smiled and went through with the ceremony. On our wedding anniversary, he took me and our daughter to go bungee jumping. Then, he cut the cords himself, making us fall to our deaths. Afterward, he stood over my body and laughed manically. "If it weren't for you, Coco wouldn't have killed herself! Now, go to hell and atone for it!" When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the night I used the baby to force his hand.

Studying abroad can be incredibly lonely at times. That night, I was in my room, indulging in a little treat for myself, when my best friend suddenly burst through the door. "Doing it yourself is no fun. Come on. There's a super cool cabaret show going on. Let's go see it together!" On stage, my friend was reclining in a chair behind the curtain, with two strong-looking men on top of her. "Come on. Join us for a group dance..."

Blurb: Orphaned Maya Jensen was in desperate need of money. She had overdue debts to pay and no money to survive on. When she saw a miracle job opening that could potentially solve all her problems, her best friend, Violet, convinced her to immediately apply. What she didn't expect was for her life to be turned upside down by a 6’2 grey-eyed hunk of a man who was used to getting his way.

I fell asleep in my fated mate Alpha Zane’s office. When I woke up, a magical seal was branded on my face. “Blackmoon Pack’s Slut.” And there was Dahlia, Zane’s new omega assistant. She held an Alpha’s seal, a taunting smirk on her face. “Why is a porcelain doll like you meddling in pack business?” she sneered. “You should just stay in your castle and be the pretty little trophy you are.” My wolf snarled, ready to crush her with my aura. But just as a vase flew at her head, Zane was suddenly there. He shielded her with his own body, his own Alpha power flaring to meet mine. He scowled at me, his voice tight with fury. “Dahlia was just playing a prank. Don’t be so dramatic.” But my eyes locked on the exposed skin of Dahlia's neck, where she was nestled in his arms. There it was. A fresh bite mark. And it reeked of him. Dahlia let out a contented purr, her voice dripping with sickly sweetness. “My Alpha knows I never attended the academy, and I was getting so bored. So to entertain me, he let me play with his Alpha’s sigil to practice creating magical marks.” She giggled. “I was just playing a little game with the princess. You’re not going to be a sore loser, are you?”

La familia Rossi tiene una regla. Si quieres ser la próxima Donna, tienes que demostrar tu valor. Gana trescientos millones de dólares, dinero limpio, en un solo año. Todo por tu cuenta, sin ayuda de la familia. Pasé diez años intentando hacerlo por Vincent. Construí diez empresas desde cero. Pero cada vez, justo cuando estaba a punto de cruzar la línea de meta, algo salía mal. Todo simplemente... se derrumbaba. Este año, finalmente lo logré. Corrí a su despacho, con la auditoría en la mano y con el corazón latiendo contra mis costillas. Pensé que finalmente había ganado. En cambio, me enteré de que mi vida entera era una mentira. Él le entregó todo mi imperio a Ava, la bastarda de mi padre. Todo porque supuestamente ella le salvó la vida una vez, y él quería convertirla a ella en la verdadera Donna. Me rendí con él. Me rendí. Del sueño de mi familia de ascender junto a la suya. Entonces tomé el teléfono y llamé a la mafia de Chicago. —Su propuesta de matrimonio —dije—. Acepto.

For seven years, I thought Declan was just an ordinary Beta. That was until I secretly traveled a thousand miles to his pack, wanting to surprise him. Only to find other werewolves calling him Alpha. And more importantly, he already had a Luna. The wolves around me started whispering. “Is that the Alpha’s secret lover?” “The nerve of her, showing up here… so shameless.” I wanted to argue, to tell them they had it all wrong. I was his real girlfriend. His Fated Mate. But then, a woman in a gorgeous dress walked over. The wolves bowed their heads respectfully. “Luna.” She was on the phone, her voice a sweet, playful pout. “The blessing ceremony for the heir is about to start, and the Elders are getting antsy… I know you’re busy, but this is our child. You have to be with me.” The man’s voice on the other end was deep and gentle, a voice I knew better than my own. “I know, my Luna.” Just a few nights ago, he had whispered loving words into my ear with that same gentle voice, his body moving powerfully inside mine, holding me so tight. It was my lover, Declan.

It was the first night we spent together as a married couple. When my husband insisted that the hotel manager clean our bed for us, she cried and said to him, "You're asking me to clean up after the two of you made love! How heartbroken do you want me to be before you're finally satisfied?" My husband claimed not to know that the manager was his ex-girlfriend, but when the woman threw a kettle of hot water and left, he chased after her instead of coming to my aid.

The day after I gave birth to Alpha Albert’s pup, while our son was still fragile and my own wounds still fresh, he demanded I give up the Luna Suite. For his old flame, Chloe, and her unborn child. His reason? Chloe was close to her due date, and the suite’s unique moonlight energy was known to soothe expectant mothers and their pups. I stared at him in disbelief. "But that's the Luna's suite. And our son? Doesn't he need that energy?" Albert’s expression was hard as stone. "I owe her." His voice was ice. "If I hadn't been forced into this mating with you, she never would have married that abusive bastard out of spite. You're the Luna. A small sacrifice won't kill you." A small sacrifice. He’d used that excuse to hurt me countless times since our union. He missed our anniversary to play nursemaid to a sick Chloe. He forced me to give up my position as the pack's Head Healer for her… This time, I didn't scream or fight. I just looked at him, my voice eerily calm. "Fine. I'll move." Then I sent a message to my father, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack: Father, come get me. I'm rejecting my mate bond with Albert.
