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

But even though I moved fast, Sam dodged my attack even faster and that too without any need to move from the place where she was standing right at the moment.

And I already knew what was going to happen next. I kept attempting to take her down but as if that was even possible for me. She did not yet start to come at me with her own sword skills as she just kept dodging my each and every strike till now, but even then, I was feeling like already defeated.

I did not have to exhaust myself any longer, cause soon she moved to come at me with her very first strike and it seemed the end of our combat as well, just like that.

Yes, in no time, the vicious tip of her sword was hanging just an inch away from my throat while I was completely trapped in-between her blade and mine, even before I could realise what just happened.

I lost.

And with that, all my hopes to know about her possible answers was gone too.

“How is that, Kaith? Don't you think my skills have improved way more than before?” She smirked at me at last, taking back the sword which was trying to cut through my flesh a while ago, declaring the fact that she is way stronger than anyone.

“Yes, I can see that.” I answered just when I was assured enough that my throat was now safe from the threat of her sharp blade.

I did not know what to say next cause I was really annoyed for not being able to get what I wanted. But surprisingly, she asked all of a sudden,

“Do you want to go to a place?” Just when her words fell on my ears, I looked up to see the whole new Sam, who was now standing in front of me. Her eyes did not fail to convey that she was excited for some unknown reason.

“Okay.” I agreed fast as I had no reason to wait for a few more seconds to think whether I should go with her or not. Cause being her beta I was destined to follow her as well as protecting her from every danger.

“Then get some clothes and take your bike too. I have mine with me as well.” Sam uttered right after.

And without any further delay, I ran into the pack-house and packed a change of clothes with me only to rush outside once again.

Sam was already waiting for me on her bike while I took out mine as well only to run the wheels of our bike on some unknown roads together, to get closer towards some unknown destination with each passing second.

The wind was unruly today as it did not stop to fondle our hairs, coming from every way possible only to create a whole new mess, while we were already dealing with the other miseries of our lives.

After quite some time, Sam stopped her bike at the side of the road but to me, it looked like we were in the middle of nowhere. Cause, the twirled road did not end at all but it definitely took us near some kind of forest, I assume, as all those tall and huge trees were seen at both of the sides of the road.

The place was absolutely quiet that one can even hear the sounds of all the leaves which had never ceased to murmur in the wind.

“What is this place? Sam?” I asked as I just could not hide my curiosity for the time being.

“You will know, very soon.” With that, she kept going inside the woods by foot and I had no other option left except following her closely from behind, leaving the road deserted once again.

We kept going through the woods as there was a narrow passage which allowed us to get inside with no effort at all.

But then, I did not have to wait any longer to know where we were exactly. Cause in no time the huge lake came to my sight, on the other side of which there was the enormous park of our town, where she was almost caught by Kazan once.

“Why are we here Sam?” I asked again, with a lot of anxiety, as I just could not find any reason behind her coming to such a place, instead of going to Kazan.

“Do not worry. I am not planning to kill and bury you here.” She made fun once again, strangely.

“I am serious, Sam.” I had to yell as she was behaving completely against her nature.

“Yes, I get it. Now come and sit here. Isn't this place so serene and ever so soothing?” Sam took a nice long breath after closing her eyes just for a moment.

Without saying a single word further, I went to sit on the ground, just beside her, letting my mind get free from all those worries, at least for this while.

The place was indeed peaceful.

At least it appeared to be one for now, under the bright daylight, but little did I know that my each and every perception was about to change later today, just when the night started to fall, replacing the last bit of the sunlight with the pitch-black darkness, ever so menacingly.

Cause, just when the last ray of the sun went to hide behind the horizon, leaving us only to be engulfed in the dark and cold night, the glowing red eyes started to come out from behind the trees all of a sudden, about which we were totally oblivious till now.

At least I was, for sure.

Summer's P.O.V

The night appeared even darker right at this moment, as all the trees of the wood which were standing high and close to each other, were making the forest look like even denser at
