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

change its course all of a sudden and make everything all right for me, in later times?

No, that was never going to happen ever. Not to me at least and I was very sure of that.

So, it was always now or never for me.

Cause, how could I forget that I still had some unfinished business with the one who is also responsible for my condition.

I did not realise when I dozed off while thinking about a lot of things at night, quite unlikely. It seemed that this little brat inside me was making me more exhausted than ever.

But, strangely, I could not even sleep properly as I kept waking up for so many times in the middle of the night.

I did not even realise if that was for the strange dream I had or for something else.

Cause, quite unbelievably, I saw Kazan in my sleep. For the slightest moment, I even thought that he was real...that he actually came in that darkness of the night, but I cared the least about such a dream, thinking that it was not at all possible.

Still, he seemed real somehow, and so was his warmth.

First I saw him standing at the farthest and the darkest corner of my room ever so quietly, keeping his warm gaze on me for how long I did not know. And after that, I saw him once again, but this time he was lying on my bed just beside me. His huge body was curled up just like a scared boy, as he was holding me tightly by my waist while his cold hands kept bothering me even in my dreams. I even felt his lips on me for so many times that I could not even tell if it was just my dream, cause his every touch appeared so very real.

But, my tiredness did not allow me to wake up completely right at that moment so that I could see if he actually came or not.

And when I woke up in the next morning, at last, there was not a single trace of anyone else's presence in my room except me. So, I believed that last night, whatever I saw must be a dream. It had to be.

Anyway,

I got out of the bed and went straight to the bathroom to wash up and to get ready, so that I could head towards the school, even when I was feeling like doing nothing throughout the entire day.

Though I was feeling all lethargic for quite some time now, I just could not afford to give myself some time to rest, cause I had a lot of things to accomplish today, even before school.

So, without taking much time, I dressed up hurriedly and went out of my house early in the morning, taking all the stuff along with me what I needed for school and all.

But first, I needed to go somewhere else. So, after walking a good distance from my house, I found a deserted and darkest corner of our town, cause I needed to take off all my clothes in order to shift into my wolf form. And so I did.

At last, I let my wolf out to run free through the fresh morning air, the empty streets, and the quiet serene surrounding, letting my black far shine under the soft sunlight. I must say that it felt like an eternity since I let myself free like this and I had to let myself enjoy for once, at least for some time.

I stretched my huge body and loosened some of my tensed muscles just before I took my bag in my mouth and started running to somewhere I had already planned to go once again.

The soft morning breeze brushed against my fur, soothing my already messed up mind for a little bit. I kept running through the off-road, making sure that I stay behind the trees all the time, at least until I reach the exact same place where I and Kaith came yesterday.

Yes, the woods opposite the lake.

When I reached the spot, I saw that my bike was still parked at the side of the road where I kept it the last time, and this time I needed to take it back with me for sure.

I dropped the bag from my mouth on the ground near my bike and headed inside the woods in no time. The place indeed appeared not that dark what it seemed at night.

Night turns vicious in here with no doubt at all, leaving not a single trace of its terrifying deeds to find out in the next morning.

Who could have ever guessed that this place was also linked to my horrifying past in some way?

Yes.

Now, I clearly remember what exactly happened that night years ago, which made me desperate enough to look for the rogue to prove myself worthy as the future Alpha of my Lunar High pack.

****flashback****

“Uncle! Uncle Benjamin! Where did mom and dad go all of a sudden? They promised to watch me during my pack training this evening. So, I was worried that they might be late, cause the training is about to start and my turn for the combat will come soon. And I do not want them to miss watching me fight. You know what? I will definitely make mom and dad proud in today's match. After all, dad trained me all by himself. He is the strongest. Isn't it right, uncle?” I asked uncle Benjamin with a lot of excitement as I was indeed looking forward to the match this evening. But I was anxious too, seeing that mom and dad were not around when they should have.

And to my surprise, uncle looked a bit concerned as well, for what reason I did not know yet. Even if I wanted to know, I can even bet that no
