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

of the death of the alpha and luna of the Blood Bay pack because they wanted to keep us safe by avoiding a battle at that time when we were really young to understand what exactly was happening and also when there was no one to take the responsibility of the pack as an alpha, cause I was not of the age back then.

Whereas some manipulated the truth according to their own way which indeed helped them to hide their nasty sins only to proceed with another one.

But not anymore. It was time to get justice now.

So, the question is how am I going to tell Markus? And that too after all those years when he was totally oblivious of the cruel reality.

I hesitated for some moment to turn around, cause I knew that it was going to be hard for me to face his questing eyes right at this moment, even when I was so very aware of the fact that, there was nothing which could save me now from the queries of Markus, who was really becoming anxious to know the truth.

So, though reluctantly, I had to turn around only to get caught with those eyes which were now fuming in anger.

“Markus! What are you doing here?” I asked cautiously, even when my mind was in no state to stay calm. I was impatient to make the sinners pay, but it seemed he was more impatient than me.

Without answering my questions, he went straight to the rogue and lifted him up once again by his collar, caring less about his screams due to utter pain. His almost limp body once again started to struggle within Markus's inevitable clench, but it was not that easy.

“I asked, what did you just say? Who killed our mom and dad? Say it again.” Markus's horrible growl did not fail to shake the whole room while the other captivated rogues were now terrified to death. And their leader?

Well, his condition was the poorest, as his fears increased even more, seeing us, the twin brothers standing in front of him as his doom, today.

“Benjamin.” Just when the brute just managed to say the name, Markus did not wait at all to throw him with such tremendous strength that the rogue went flying and hit the iron rods of the cell without any mercy.

I guess it was not enough satisfying for Markus, as he took his steps forward in no time, only to grab the rogue once again. And I realised that it was time, when I should stop him, cause he was not in his right mind.

“That's enough, Markus.” I shouted but that was not at all enough to change his mind about killing the rogue right here right this instant.

“Did you not hear what he just said, Kazan. He doe not deserve to live. And I will kill him for sure.” Markus screamed anxiously and was about to continue what he was doing, just when I came in between only to drag the rogue into his cell once again and locked it up carefully.

“What the hell are you doing?” Seeing me doing something against his will, Markus growled ever so ferociously, declaring how annoyed he was for my such action.

“We need to talk for now. Come with me.” I pulled Markus along with me and went outside of the house without waiting for any other seconds.

“Now we are out. Would you care to tell me what exactly is happening? What the hell do you know about mom and dad's death?” He pulled back his hands and made both of us stop.

I was well aware that I needed to tell him now, but I just could not figure out where I should start.

The wind howled around us. The leaves of the trees kept murmuring as if nature was also afraid to hear the bitter reality what I was about to tell Markus.

“Well, it was not the rogue attacks back then which killed mom and dad as you heard before. In fact, it was not the rogues at all. As you heard now, very clearly, that Benjamin was the one who killed them.” I started at last, even though I was still afraid, thinking if I was dragging Markus in danger knowingly or not.

“Alpha Benjamin from Lunar High Pack? Summer's uncle? Is he you are talking about?” He queried impatiently.

“Yes.” I could not even say any further, as Markus was already at the verge of losing his rightful mind.

“Why did you not tell me before? How come you knew everything from the very beginning but I did not? Did I have no right to know the truth about who exactly killed mom and dad? The killer always roamed around before our eyes but we could do nothing? Why did you choose to keep me in the dark, Kazan? Why?” I clearly saw how desperate he was becoming to make the one pay who was the reason for our great loss.

“How could I? When I knew how hard it was to live each day of life, with the horror of reality. Every night, sleep turns into nightmares, and when it happens you will be afraid to sleep ever again. You can not even tell others, cause if you do he will also be taken away from you ever so cruelly. And that was why I never dared to tell you after Jacob. Yes, I once told him everything and asked for help desperately. Now, look. Where is he? Nowhere.

So, tell me how could I tell you, when I suffered all of these alone for a really long time, since the day mom and dad were murdered.” I did not realise that I was already shaking during all this time when I had to go back to the past again. It seemed that the horrible reality did not stop from having such an
