[ COMPLETED ] Do you think that every fallen angel fell from Heaven out of their own Will? Xachariel, the youngest of the four brother, was too young to fathom Lucifer's deceptive schemes; too innocent to fathom that evilness could ever be in heaven... And least of all from the Most Adored, The Son Of Dawn. Innocent and ignorant, he pledged his service and loyalty to his most trusted brother, Lucifer, unaware of the consequences - that this pledge would seal his soul from heaven forever. Hope and redemption were beyond reach for Xachariel, or at least he thought so. But why does he keep looking towards the East, where the Sun doth rise? _______________________________ I wonder if Father ever think of me as often as I do of Him. Or has He forgotten me? And what of my brothers? Michael? Gabriel? Have they all forgotten me? Vera? ★ The story of a young angel who fell with Lucifer. _______________________________ ★ Rewritten version Previously known as The Reasons Beyond The Pines. ★ Honorable Mention - Jo Awards 2017 ★ Honorable Mention - August 2017 Undiscovered Writers Award. -------------- "This story may be short but the meaning behind is so deep. I love it and you write well!" - forevepancakes "Amazing. Just amazing. The emotions. The imagery. This is damn magnificent" - AbbySparks34 "THE REASON BEYOND THE PINES is an ingenious work of art...." - Sankhayao .

Little does he know that Nora is fighting a battle of her own, one that no one could even imagine. And as the two get closer, they not only find solace in each other but in God.

NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.
