Semua Bab Revenge Of The Reborn Omega: From Ashes To Luna: Bab 11 - Bab 18

MAYA“Honey! How was work today?” My face was met with sloppy kisses and a hug that clenched my intestines. Atlas really loved his wife— I could tell from how he looked at her.At me. My hands fell limply to my side as I didn't know what to do with them. “It was quite hectic but fun nonetheless.”I settled on the couch, and he sat next to me, eyes keen on my face like he was about to start reading my experiences of them. Atlas looked eager to hear me.I groaned, trying to decide what and what part I was going to tell him. Though it might not matter much, I was locked in an elevator with my ex-husband for minutes, and he held my waist, and it felt good.Against my will and defence kind of good. Atlas snuggled closer, brushing the tendrils off my face and tucking them behind my ears. It felt mechanical and cold.“Dinner is almost ready. You can get changed, and then we'll talk all about it, my love. Right now, let's get you showered.”Nodding, I stood up and headed to my room— with Atl

ARZHELA FEW HOURS EARLIERThere were several things to marvel about in this big city but I never included my dead mate’s look-alike on the list. The contaminated air and noise had been the top of my priorities until this woman— Mara, came and sat right atop it, disorganizing everything in my head.I sank into the couch, gripping a glass of whiskey. How hypocritical of me to fault day drinking when it had become all I had resorted to?Her face haunted me. It took a bit out of my heart every moment and my wolf had known no rest. Such mental torture I hadn’t ever experienced.The way she looked at me with such bountiful hate in her eyes, it fizzled through me, bringing all that buried guilt to the surface, and it just tangled around my neck and knocked the breath out of my throat.Despite not despising Maya as much as I acted, I could have done better, and now that was all I could think of. This guilt would kill me. My suitcase still sat by the door in the huge, unfurnished living room.

MAYAQuestioning why I had woken up to a sinking feeling in the depths of my stomach would be avoiding the elephant in the room. Yesterday. Ugh. I had walked out on Atlas, denying him everything he had a right to.It wasn’t like I wanted to, but all the guilt I was being spoon-fed was toxic to my stomach, more than I gave myself credit to handle. My limbs were breaking and this notion of revenge wasn’t a strong enough motivation to haul me out of bed.Sitting there with the hurt and the toil of it all, the doorknob turned and it sprang open. My breath hitches, my ears ringing for no reason at all. Atlas walked in bearing a tray with an aroma that disclosed maybe not the reason behind it, but what it was.I saw no reason for breakfast in bed after I practically shoved him off me and locked myself up in my room last night. “Good morning,” he said, smiling with his eyes. I answered with a nod, instinctively pulling the sheets closer. Was there anything like being too aware of one’s body

MAYA“You son of a bitch!”Atlas's anger boiled over as he continued to pummel Adam, who stood motionless, his eyes cast downward. “You're incompetent!”Atlas yelled, his fists flying. “You had one job! You're supposed to protect my wife, and you can't even do that!"I watched in horror as Atlas's rage intensified, his words cutting deep. I'd never seen him like this before, and it frightened me.“Atlas, stop!” I screamed, rushing over to him. “What's wrong with you?!”I cradled my stomach, my stomach hurting from yelling at him but he wouldn’t listen, almost as though the Atlas I knew had disappeared. What the hell? I was bewildered, my heart racing despite the fatigue that weighed on my bones. “Atlas!” Atlas finally released Adam, who stumbled backward, his face bloodied but his expression eerily calm. I turned to Atlas, my anger and fear boiling over.“Why are you acting like this?” I demanded, my voice shaking. “Why are you more concerned about yelling at Adam than checking on me
