Atonement Kindle Novels & Stories

A few students stumbled backward. The Sanctum didn’t just accept him. It roared. A wind slammed outward—not wind, magic—and all the sconces flickered to near-darkness. For a heartbeat, the ballroom was lit only by Atlas himself, standing before the Sanctum, wrapped in its molten storm. Power rippled from him in waves—not decorative, not symbolic—real. Primal. The kind that made Alphas kneel. The kind that made the gods look twice. Atlas Blackwood turned from the Sanctum.

So he pulled out his cell phone to call and check on her quick, and just to hear her voice. 2 Within the chapel’s sedate darkness, a butane utility lighter flared harshly as Aaban walked around and lit the corner candles and the incense. When he got to the pulpit, he took his time lighting each pillar in the candelabra upon the raised lectern, staring into the flames. Fire made him think of retribution, and that in turn made him think of eternity. He glanced down at Reverend Julian’s open leather-bound Bible, at its strange words. The pages appeared to be so old they might crumble at the slightest touch; Aaban had to resist the urge to feel of their antiquity beneath his fingertips. Smoky li

No one had answers for me either. Since that day, I had been made to atone for my mistakes. Every year, on James's memorial day, which was also my birthday, my parents dragged me to the cemetery and made me kneel at his grave. Now it was the eighth year, and I thought my life couldn't get any darker. Then a serial killer found me in the rain and hacked me to bits. I tried to fight back with the stun gun Robert gave me. Years ago, Robert's job pissed off some shady people. They snatched Susan and me.

"Even if you changed your face and your voice, I know it's you. "Did you... take over another body? I know it sounds absurd, but if it's you, I believe it." I gave a light laugh. "Ms. Harkins, you have a very rich imagination." "If it's you, please admit it, okay?" Vivian suddenly threw the umbrella aside and dropped to her knees in the puddles. "I know I don't deserve it, but I really have been atoning. "Landon became disabled, and my life was ruined too. That's my punishment. As long as you are Aaron Hutchinson, even if you want me dead, I'll accept it...

There was another rush of gasps, and most of the vampires seemed either confused or shocked. "Please, accept my apologies, Sidia Amato. I have not been human for so very long, and I see the world so differently. This must be overwhelming for you. I will explain everything, and I will answer all your questions. Please know that my cause is noble, and that I only meant you are destined to do great things at my side. I, Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus, pledge myself to you, and I will do everything in my power to show you the glory you were meant to have." Severus stood again as he finished his vow, and the vampires erupted in applause and celebration.

NEHENDA POV: "What did we ever do to you to warrant the cruelty you dished to us? You! inhumane caricature of a beast! A people that never ventured out of our boundary lines, your very existence! being a reality? Was even an overwhelming discovery. I wonder how we could have wronged you! so much so; you would think of bringing us to extinction mercilessly. We were a peaceful loving family, accepting of all and not discriminatory against any . We never took the essence of life out of anything, even though we could! for life is sacred to us. We preserved it, never destroyed it. We even nurture the weak fading out chi back to fullness.

he repeated, tasting the name on his tongue with an indecipherable look plastered to his face and it had me rattled because Shekau was the kind of man that you could never know his thoughts. "Do you believe in Kismet?" Another shocking question still, though, I wasted no time in replying with a firm nod despite the terrifying fate behind I had been aware of. "You do and yet you rebel against my orders. Going even at odds with our beliefs of judgement and predestination," he continued and then my eyes dropped back to the gravel and sand particles below in a silent prayer for pardon, following my forthcoming deeds. A few moments later I returned them to the child I had bonded with, looking str

Then I jabbed him slightly in the side with my elbow. “You can do that. I am not breaching the contract.” I whispered to him, smiling so it looked like we were teasing each other. He shot me an amused look before straightening as the officiant cleared his throat. “Dear beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Lucas Alexander Hayes and Elizabeth Grace Lancaster,” the officiant started, and I blanked, not listening until the officiant started the vows. “Will you, Lucas Alexander Hayes, take Elizabeth Grace Lancaster to be your lawfully wedded wife, to stand beside her through every joy and hardship, to love, honor, and cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer or po

Nathan, who was still sitting, trembling in his seat. Nathan’s lips quivered as he finally whispered, “Please… forgive me.” His voice cracked like dry wood. His greed had led him into this humiliation, and now he realized he had no choice left but to beg. But Denovon’s doctrine was clear—betrayal was not something he forgave. His gaze didn’t even linger on Nathan. It was as if Nathan didn’t exist anymore.
