Atonement Novel Review Novels & Stories

“Do you wish you’d never taken the case?” This is the barren terror that had been with him always before Anton. “Gray, grinding purpose of atonement. It had been a surprise, a shock, the unexpected draw that had been there from the moment he had met Anton in the penthouse, a fortress of steel and glass, the loneliest man he’d ever met.” “No,” Sabatine whispered.

“Not intentionally. With the way I grew up, it wasn’t like people were dying to take me out.” Amy held my hand, and her face turned dead serious. “A virgin? I so didn’t see that, but don’t worry. We’re going to get you laid.” Atlas picked just that moment to walk back in the door, and I froze. His grip on the handle began to bend the metal, and the low growl rumbling from him turned my insides upside down. Fuck.Why did I find his asshole-ness so damned attractive? Stupid bond. Yeah, I could totally blame this fiasco on the mate bond and not all the dirty novels the coven had hoarded away from when supernatural romance books had been considered fiction instead of fact.

Anna’s Point of View The air hung dense and utterly still, saturated not only with the coppery tang of fresh blood but also with the sharp, burning, acidic residue of spent Lycan energy.

He stepped inside and I watched his face as he took in the rows of pews and the altar with its faded gold paint and the confessional booth that sat in shadows to the left. His breathing changed and his hand went to his chest again, not to the wound but higher, like he was searching for something that should be there.

They collapsed in a wrecked heap, bodies slick and leaking everywhere, holes twitching ruined, cum pies sealed or oozing free. Zeke's lovers curled close and devoted around him, breaths ragged, skin marked with bites and bruises. "My perfect sins," he murmured soft, voice laced with possession. Remotes went silent for the night, plugs humming low as aftercare. Tomorrow brought bigger deals, Harlan's ghost fully exorcised, Roskov's empire expanding. Deeper depravities waited in the wings, the family bond unbreakable. The empire throbbed on forever, fueled by cum and dominance.
