Jade and Julien. Best friends forever. Or at least, that's what she thought. It has been two years since the day that Julien moved back to Paris with his family after living next door to Jade for six years. They were best friends - joined at the hip. Julien left without a word of goodbye and to this day, Jade can't stop thinking about the reason why. Two years pass and now Jade is not the same Jade. Not without Julien. She's sarcastic and has trouble coping with life in general, but one day a familiar set of azure eyes looks up at her and her heart stops beating. It's Julien. Or at least, she thinks - he looks so different. After two years of not being able to call him or find him on social media, Julien is back and just like Jade, life has changed him. Once, they were best friends - nothing could come between them. But now, Jade finds that Julien is just somebody that she used to know... Doesn't mean she's going to stop trying to find the old Julien. Even if she has to beat it out of him. Julien isn't the sweet boy she remembers. He's all muscle and tattoos with a death glare that could make anyone flinch - except her. She is desperate to make him listen, but he doesn't want anything to do with her. He wants to finish senior year and get the hell out. Games are being played, both of them trying to one up the other on a quest to see who breaks first but the tension that comes with it is daunting. Will the tension between them last? Or will it all come crumbling down into a heated confession that leaves both of them stunned into silence? *************** This story is going to be a bit heartbreaking to read at first but like all my works, it will leave you with tears of joy. So grab your nutella and kleenex bc this one's going to be a good one. Maybe slightly cliche but that's sort of what i'm going for :)

"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.
