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

lost my right mind to think properly for a moment, as I just could not stop myself from thinking about a lot of possibilities for what I just got to know. Even though it was clear that whatever happened was not that simple to understand, still as if I was eager to find out the answers to my questions.

How could I be so oblivious about the fact that Kazan was going through a traumatic experience since he was really young? Even now it was terrifying for me to think, then I must know how badly the past might have left an impact on him.

I just could not decide for whom I should take the revenge?

For my mom and dad, who were murdered by the vicious wolf, years ago, but still does not feel any kind of a shame to declare himself as the alpha?

Or should I fight for my brother, from whom each and every possibility to have a good childhood life was snatched ever so brutally, leaving him no other choices than growing up before his time only to be burdened by all those responsibilities that an Alpha must carry fo the pack of their own, even when he had to live each day of his life being haunted by the trauma of whatever he got to witness at such a young age?

Or should I fight for myself, who did not even get to know the truth behind the death of those tow people who were the most important in my life?

I kept deciding a long list for which Benjamin has to pay now, if not I will make sure that he pays a great price for what he did to us.

“If it was Benjamin who murdered mom and dad then what are you doing by captivating the mere rogues? It should be that brute, Benjamin, behind those bars. Your hands should be tainted by his nasty blood rather than some other trivial rogues', who are of no use to us.” I said at last, while trying to pull my mind back from all those thoughts which will give me pleasure in a later time for sure, when I will definitely capture that vicious Benjamin, not to kill at once but to torture him bit by bit which will keep him alive for sure but will make him experience the death through the pain each day, which I will bestow him with ever so gladly, without any mercy.

“No, they are not useless at all. Cause there are more that you need to know. And I need them as the witness.” To my surprise, Kazan made yet another comment which again left me wondering about what else was there to know. Is it something worse than the previous one? I got scared.

“What is it?” I asked that much only as I could not gather enough courage to question more.

My throat went entirely dry in fear, expecting to get another shock. But I needed to know everything today.

“It was not just we and our Blood Bay pack was the victim of Benjamin's vicious deeds but the Lunar High Pack as well. Two incidents which happened within a few years of the interval were always linked. And there is only one who was behind all our miseries for years...” Even before Kazan could finish his words, I completed his sentence with utter disgust.

“Benjamin.” Without much of my consciousness, my hands were balled up into a fist while I was already shaking in the utmost anger just like Kazan a while ago.

“Yes.” He nodded, keeping his head down while looking at the ground as if he had lost something there. But little did I know what was going in his mind right now.

Soon, I started to remember one by one, all those words what I got to hear back at the dungeon. Due to the sudden rage, it might have skipped my mind for a moment, but now when Kazan said himself, I could clearly recall what that rogue said about the murder of the Alpha and the Luna of Lunar High Pack a few years ago.

That means...that means the brute Benjamin was even responsible for killing Summer's mom and dad as well? How evil he is, I could not even think before.

But the main question was if Summer knows the truth about his uncle or not?

I could not think about what kind of situation we were in right now.

“Are you planning to use the rogues as the witness?” I asked, without bothering to struggle myself further.

“Yes.” Kazan replied as he was in no mood to explain further.

“I was wondering if Summer knows about his uncle or not? If not, then we must tell her. It might be dangerous for her to stay all alone in his pack when everyone is not so friendly with her back there. So, does she know?” Just when I asked, my eyes did not fail to see a sudden fear in Kazan's eyes as he, at last, cared to look up at me only to move his eyes back to their previous place in no time.

“No. She does not need to know. Not at least now. It might bring her into more dangers.” Kazan said in his low voice which was clearly showing that there was more into his words than just what he said.

“What is it, Kazan? Why are you avoiding the talk about Summer? What did you do to her? Why did she start to hate you that much all of a sudden, when it was me who she should hate? What did you do, Kazan?” I asked again, knowing that we must not let go of each other's side in this kind of situation. Cause if we do this time, and if anything bad happens like losing someone who is the dearest to us, and that too just because we wanted to
