Sequel to Teach Me, Unedited It started with a strange request and ended with a love confession. I thought it would be simple, that all I had to worry about was what to make for dinner but sixteen months into our relationship, I knew how wrong I was. I realized that this was far from the perfect picturesque home I had envisioned. From the beginning, I knew what I was getting myself into or I think I did. I knew how important the hospital was for him, the hours he worked. I saw how much it took him from me and I tried to pretend it was fine when it wasn't. Uncertainty fills my mind with the unspoken words between us. Fear coats my tongue with people meddling in our business, trying to pull us apart to destroy what is already fragile. I saw how hard it would be to keep us together. Cover done by @Softie113123 All Rights Reserved ©solxr28 ©asj_28 December 2020

Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you."

"Light up my darkness," he murmured against her bare flesh. His fingers trailed up her arm, leaving a blazing fire beneath them. His lips pressed softly against her shoulder and her eyes fluttered closed, accepting his touch. "Let go and I'll take away all of the pain." She desperately wanted to free herself from the torture of the heat, of the shift, of the sadness, but she pushed his firm chest away from her. She yearned to finally fulfill her place among the divine. She desired to guide and protect the species. She wished to eliminate the Challengers. The longer she endured the pain, the more power she would attain to help her fulfill her responsibilities. To the men who watched her ascend, it looked as if she was interacting with thin air, but she knew he was there with her. She smiled softly at him, caressing his cheek. "My Darkness, let the pain fester within me. I crave it." * The Betrayal is a part of The Marking Trilogy and cannot be read as a stand-alone book. The Marking must be read first.* Cover by @Finding_Bria
