Atonement Parents Guide Novels & Stories

"You've got some nerve now, Jordan! We told you not to eat this stuff, and you insisted on sneaking a bite anyway! "Are you trying to ruin your heart on purpose? Do you want to see this entire family suffer? Is that what would make you happy?" My father spoke next, "What have we been teaching you for the last ten years? We taught you to atone for your sins, to live without desires or indulgence. "Did all of that go in one ear and out the other? How are you going to face Nathaniel? How are you going to face Alyssa, who spent all these years praying for you?"

I’m not sure how I feel about coming back here after everything that’s happened. “Wolves are good at rebuilding. We know how to start over and thrive. I’m not worried about it.” Colton just can’t seem to drop his defensive attitude, but I don’t blame him, even distracted by my own thoughts. An entire lifetime of being conditioned to hate the vampires and in one night he’s being asked to accept one as his father-in-law and be on good terms.

Father Bosco paused, his gaze lingering on her as he contemplated her distress. Father Bosco cleared his throat, intending to help her up, but he paused as she began to speak, standing upright to listen to her words. "Father, I lost my parents at a very young age. I ended up living with my aunt, who treated me like a piece of trash. I got into a relationship, and my boyfriend made me do drugs. Now he has finally left me for another girl. He made me do all sorts of dirty things just to prove that I loved him. Father, would God ever forgive me?" She looked up at him, her eyes pleading for reassurance.

“No. Not really. He just had this seven-year-old daughter who immediately looked up to me like I was some kind of a big brother who, you know, deserved to be looked up to. And she had the most innocent, big, blue eyes. I swear to God, she melted the bad in everything by just looking at it with those damn eyes. I figured if someone could ever dare to let her down, they had to be completely lacking a soul.” With a smile, I hooked my arm through his and bumped into him meaningfully. “So Kaitlynn’s the one who guided you back onto the straight and narrow, huh?” He pointed at me sternly. “If you tell her that, I’ll deny it until my dying breath, but yeah. Upsetting her was never an option for me.

I say with deep gratitude as I step back to Lemuel’s side as he reaches out and soothingly rubs my back, and I take comfort in his caring gesture. The speeches continue and more tears and smiles are shed until it’s time to wish them farewell. “Now we send these two to the next life and hope the Gods guide them on their path,” my father says. My parents turn to face the water as they disrobe leaving themselves as naked as the day they were born. The only piece of them covered is the singular shimmering royal blue scale on my mother’s thigh and the singular pearlescent ivory scale on the same spot on my father’s thigh. The marks of their completed bond. For a moment I can’t help but wonder how

Logan had been in there with that creepy guy for at least twenty minutes. I couldn’t really hear much because their voices were too low. I did hear that Logan had to go help this Armond guy next week. I don’t know what kind of business Armond does but it doesn’t seem like Logan was thrilled to see him. I know he made me feel uneasy and my gut feeling never lies to me. I was looking out the window when I heard Logan open the door. I turned to look at him and he had that beautiful smile that made me melt.

"They're probably just scapegoats." Kane arrived with a book he'd liked. Atlas thanked the cafe staff and looked at the book his son had chosen. "Hacking the Internet Practically?" Atlas asked, confused. "Gosh, son, why did you choose a book like this?" Kane laughed. "I want to help Dad get back at Uncle Sam!" Atlas was shocked by his son's answer, while Regina held back laughter. "You're great, son," Regina said. "I want to help your father too. We have to work together, right, bunny?"

Sorry about that dad," Rose mumbled quietly and left not before admiring a certain emerald eyed devil. A very handsome devil. The boys were still in a trance with their eyes stuck on the door at which those angels stood not a second before. James cleared his throat again as he tried to gain their attention once again. He clearly knew what was going on. He too was once of their age and knew the look very well. After all it was the same look he had when he saw his wife for the first time. The men shook their head before paying attention to James again. They both looked at James with an expression 'who were they?’

Back then, she had wondered if she would ever be accepted in the pack ever again but now, here she was, knowing deep in her bone that no one would walk her out or arrest her for doing the most forbidden thing. Everyone watched her, waiting for her to be done with her feeling of nostalgia and when their eyes settled on the baby in her arms, the warrior chief commanded, “bow to the future alpha of Blue Moon pack,” and with that, they all bowed, Sean included. “Sean,” Aton called, finally getting closer to them and at the mention of his name, Sean stood up and went to his father.
