QUIVER EVER AFTER: A DARK ROMANCE (PART TWENTY-THREE)
Laura Avery

I had to run from the darkness that lived inside of him.
Love had been insignificant; the kind we’d shared was twisted and broken.
Being close to him felt a lot like having a death wish.
I had to leave, not just for him or myself, for something bigger than the both of us.
The only problem was that I’d taken something of his with me…
Something so important that he would destroy everything in his path to find it.
The only thing I could do was hope that some secrets were meant to stay buried.

I had to push the light she radiated out of my life.
Love had been nonexistent in my mind; the kind she gave me was dangerous.
Being near her felt a lot like destroying everything good in the world.
I had to get rid of her, not for me but for her, I’d been destined for darkness either way.
The only thing she had going for her was that she had never betrayed me…
It was why I had let her walk away with her soul still intact.
But God help her if I ever found out otherwise.
