Novel & Cerita Atonement Kindle

In my bedroom, I still lay there, looking as hideous as ever. I was so ugly, and I did not understand why Colin still kept me here. The sight was simply terrifying. Not long after, Colin reappeared, looking refreshed and dressed in the suit he wore when we got married. He lay down beside me and softly said, "Norah, you must be so lonely. Don't be scared. "I'm bringing the last person to pay for their sins right now! I love you!" With that, there was a loud explosion, and the villa was reduced to rubble. However, I was already dead and did not need him to avenge me. After all, I could not come back to life.

It kind of makes things much easier. "One more thing, child. You also did manage to cross to the light when you were born. Albeit for a brief moment. That is why I guess the angel could easily win. I guess I missed that part but it is not a bad thing. The bottom line is, the bond is so sacred that it can repair damaged souls. Now, run along.

Atonement. Reparation. Paying of sins. It is the nature of the world to keep a balance among every species. That everything should be equal to established a world that doesn’t envy one another, doesn’t build a diversion against one another. However, everyone sins. It’s the dark loophole of life, sinning seems to be the nature of the world. One sin from many actions and sometimes, atonement is the only option to cleanse nature. Nature has its own way of demanding the payment of sins. It can come in a full-blown punishment and sometimes it comes into a piece by piece dark omen of life. Nevertheless, atonement is an inevitable demand that no one is exempted from.

A scalding drop of wax splattered onto the back of my hand, causing me to yelp in pain. My parents turned their heads, their eyes brimming with undisguised disgust. "Why are you so clumsy all the time?" barked my dad. I remained silent, but inside, I was bubbling with excitement. That was because I had been reborn, flung back to my birthday. In Doreraford, everyone had heard about Andrea Jordan, the delicate darling of the city.

“If Theoden could shift… if Atlas rejoined with him, maybe—maybe his body could start healing. Maybe it would be enough.” It was a desperate theory. A last, broken hope. But it was something. Selene stared at the ember-lit wolf. “Atlas,” she whispered. “Please…” For one agonizing second, nothing happened. Then Atlas began to move. Slowly at first, his massive paws crunching through ash and debris. His glowing form crackled with restrained energy, like every ounce of him was barely holding itself together. Selene knelt back, watching as he approached. She cradled Theoden’s face, murmuring to him through her tears. “Please, baby. Come back. You have to come back. You promised me.”

“They’re right, all of them. We’re your anchors, but you’re ours too.” My heart squeezes. “I still don’t understand what I’m supposed to do,” I say. “What my… power is for.” Ronnie leans forward, tapping the page with his finger. “Dawn is not destruction,” he says softly. “Dawn is renewal. Light after dark. Truth after illusion. Healing after corruption.” I think of the nine wolves, hollow-eyed and broken, then rising with new breaths. I think of the hunters fleeing. I think of the surge that nearly tore me apart.

“And how did you feel afterward?” “Guilty,” I whispered. “But not enough to stop me from coming back.” He nodded once, like he’d expected exactly that answer. “Kneel.” I dropped to the stone floor in front of the table. The cold bit into my knees. The open book waited. The new chapter was titled *Deeper Repentance*. “Read,” he ordered. “From the top. Loud and clear this time.” My voice shook as I began. “I renounce the weakness of my body. I offer every impure touch to God as suffering. I reject the pleasure that pulls me from grace…”

That, I couldn't dispute, but I just couldn't accept the fact that I was putting on a dress to seduce some greying old man from behind a pew. Well, technically not a greying old man. The Archbishop, or privately known as Bartholomew Heathcliff of Easterbrook, wasn't your typical potbellied, sleazy old pastor. Anatoly had given me his file before I left the meeting with Prince Caspian that day, and if I must say, he looked quite young for his age. Tall, fit, and broad-shouldered. The only sign of aging he exhibited was the sparse amount of white hair on his beard and head.
