Because of the Dark

The dark didn't end with the light. He lost his future. She fights to survive. More secrets, more betrayal, and a love that was meant to fail before it even began.

My name is Weston, but my friends call me Wes.

Though, I don't have many left.

Two years ago, I lost my dream. My future.

My best friend's sister stumbled across a secret she had no idea existed-her secret.

Friendships were betrayed. Unexpected alliances were formed.

My loyalty was tested, but I blindly stood by their side.

What I didn't realize was that following them into the dark would cost me everything. My friends. My scholarship.

I was driven by anger and resentment toward the people I had once trusted with my life.

Until I met her: King.

My name is Kingsley Monroe. 

At least, that's the name I go by these days.

I didn't plan this. I wasn't supposed to stay. Keep moving, he ordered.

Then, one fateful afternoon changed the course of my future. I ran into him: Weston Sheats-literally.

I stayed in the shadows for over a year. Eventually, my need for him to notice made me step out of the dark. I wanted him to see me once. I swore I wouldn't let him get close, I would not get attached. I failed.

I fell-hard.

An unexpected turn of events was the wake-up call I needed. I had to tell him, come clean. But would he accept my past? Who I am?

Realizing there was no future, I did what I was supposed to do months ago...and I took the one thing with me that could've made a difference for both of us.
