Fast. Violent.

Atlas looked panicked, sweating through his expensive suit, his hands shaking as he gripped the edge of the steel table. "Mr. Augustus!" Atlas stammered, his voice squeaking with terror. "What is the meaning of this? I was at home sleeping when I got the call about the harbor—" "Shut up, Atlas," I said quietly, pulling a chair across the concrete floor and sitting directly in front of him. "I swear I don't know anything!" Atlas cried out. "I was in bed with my wife in the district all night!" I picked up my phone, opened the anonymous file, and tossed it right onto his lap.

Fran- Nice Cover. Alpha Devon looks over the journal again and shakes his head. “You asked to see me, oh well, well, well, come to submit?” Atlas asks me. “You know you are mighty pretty.” “Atlas knock it off,” Devon tells him. “Want to explain this?” Atlas reads over the journal of attacks.

he said curtly, his voice was enough to get me to cower away at the slightest hum, with how deep and thunderous it was. “Shaggy.” I tried to hold back on my laugh and it came out as a strangled cough which made the man in front of me glaring at me. I kept my head down and hoped they’ll ignore me. “Who’s she?” Shaggy asked calmly and I could feel his eyes digging into my head. “She’s one of my escorts-” Atlas answered plainly.

Shopping for winter clothes would only delay things, making us leave later rather than sooner. Atlas shrugged, giving me a small smile. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll send someone to grab you some winter clothes tomorrow morning.” The chill in the room was swept away, and I rubbed my cool palms over my dress. How Liam managed to face Atlas was beyond me. With his broad shoulders and icy eyes, Atlas was intimidating to say the least. Where Liam radiated warmth and sunshine, Atlas reminded me of a harsh winter storm. If the two of them ever fought, it would be disastrous.

I dropped my bag and sank to the floor, pulling my knees to my chest. "Hiding won't make the whispers stop, you know." I jerked my head up. Atlas was sitting two aisles over, his long legs stretched out in front of him, leaning back against a bookshelf filled with books on the French Revolution. He wasn't wearing his varsity jacket, just a dark, fitted sweater. Without the gold and black armor, he looked surprisingly human. "I'm not hiding," I lied, wiping a frustrated tear from the corner of my eye. "I'm studying."

he lied. Daniel’s thumb brushed over the inside of his wrist, lingering. “No,” he murmured. “You’re not.” Evan’s knees felt weak. Every instinct screamed to pull away, but he didn’t. He stood there, caught in Daniel’s gaze, chest heaving like he’d just run a mile. “Daniel…” His own voice startled him—thin, hushed, almost pleading.

or fall even harder. 3rd Person POV As Atlas left the library, the soft sound of his footsteps faded down the hall until everything fell quiet again. Behind one of the tall bookshelves, Rowan stood still, hidden in the dim light filtering through the blinds. He hadn’t moved for several minutes, just watching.

Lawson’s small office feel even more claustrophobic. I couldn't help but feel a mix of frustration and anxiety. Atlas, drenched and brooding, was a powerful presence that I found both captivating and infuriating. His black shirt clung to his muscular frame, water droplets trailing down his face, highlighting his strong jawline and intense eyes. Every time I looked at him, my heart fluttered despite the awkwardness of the situation. Atlas stood by the window, looking out at the storm. He shook his head, “We could have made it home before it got bad, Harper,” he reminded me.

Atlas looked like we were talking about the weather, instead of something as big as him pretty much saving a girl’s life. I had to ask. Because I didn’t even know the full story of she ended up here. Instead of that though, I heard myself saying. “Why didn’t you say anything?” Atlas only shrugged, I almost think he wasn’t going to say anything but then he spoke. “I’m not sure.” “And you let her stay?” I was curious as to why he did that. I’m sure it was obvious in my eyes. And he just shrugged again. “She reminded me of you.”
