Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (read books for money TXT) 📕

I might be able to change her plans somehow, but it was just that she was not even ready to listen to any of my words since then.

Why?

I do not know.

Because I have never seen her like this way before.

As if she was no more the same Sam, whom I knew since we were kids.

I must say that I had observed a weird kind of change in her over the past few days, but for what reason, I did not get to know yet, no matter how much I tried to.

Sam had indeed started to change in some kind of horrifying ways, as if she is counting each and every day only to taint her hands in red.

I just kept wondering, what exactly was the reason which made her change this way into someone who she was never before.

I could not even talk to Kazan about all these new confusion which was raised in Sam's mind, cause he was nowhere to be found since the last day I saw him at Sam's house.

But what I know for certain that something weird is going on, and just what dad said, I am also feeling that a huge upheaval is on its way ever so menacingly, only to stir up each and every one of our lives, leaving no other means to make everything right once again.

And that was why I just can not let anything like this happen with Sam once again.

So, the only thing I knew now, that I need to stop her. If not, I need to tell her the truth at least, so that she could decide on her own about who is wrong and who is not.

I do not know what she talked with dad that day, as she never told me after she met with him later, neither did dad say any word about it. But with no doubt, I was afraid to see her suffer like before.

So many fears started to engulf my mind already as I was going to meet Sam once again, hoping that I might get to talk to her today at least.

But just when I came out of the pack-house early in the morning, I found out that there was no reason any more to go to her house, cause she was standing there at the pack-yard, quite unlikely.

As far as I knew that Sam never bothered to come to this place willingly, since that night years ago when her mom and dad died. But I was obviously startled to see her here today as I kept thinking what made her do something against his usual self.

Just like me, other members of our pack was also confused too, and kept glaring at her with their hateful gaze, which was nothing new to me though, but still, I could not stop feeling that there was something going on in her mind for a long time now.

“What are you up to, Sam?” I asked as soon as I went to her, without bothering much about to keep all my doubts to myself.

“What? No Hi? No good morning? Are you sure that you are alright, Kaith?” She even cared to make fun of me when I was least in the mood to take her jokes.

“What happened to you today, Sam? Where were you when I wanted to talk to you for so many days? Whenever I wanted to talk to you, either you were always so busy or you were nowhere to be seen, to listen to any of my words? So, you tell me...what changed suddenly?” I yelled as I just could not hold back my anxiety and attacked her with all my questions at once, even though I was feeling like she was not going to answer any of them today as well, just like before.

“What about we begin with combat? I will answer all your questions only if you can defeat me in a fight. What do you say?” Sam threw one of her swords towards me in one swift move, only for me to catch. I never realised before that she came here with her arms, as I was so involved in confronting her for her sudden change in character.

But then again, I realised what just she proposed right at this instant. Did she just tell me that she would tell me everything only if I could make her loose? And how is that even possible? She is always meant to be an alpha and her powers are not so ordinary, while I am just a lowly beta. Then how can I even win? How can I make her talk?

This is just not fair.

She knows too, but why?

Still, I would never back down. I have to try my best to make her loose and that too for her own sake. But I wonder if that is even possible.

No worries. We would see.

“Do keep that in your mind what you have just promised.” I said and moved the sword in the thin air only to stand in a proper defending position just before the beginning of our combat.

“Yes. Definitely.” As soon as she replied, the sword in her hand made a vicious noise just when the tip of her blades came into contact with the ground, declaring the fact that she was all ready for me to attack.

And I had no reason to wait for any time further. I took a quick glance around the whole pack-yard, only to find out that all those people who were training on the ground till now, had stopped only to watch me and Sam fighting against each other.

And little did I care about them all.

I swayed the sword in the air with all my strength and made my first strike just when the whole surrounding shuddered with the treacherous clanking sound of the two
