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

Jacob just nodded his head while he seemed quite worried about something else right at this moment. He must be struggling to decide where to start.

“So, now, you tell me. How did uncle Benjamin get to imprison you for years, behind everyone's back?” I asked him, seeing that he was still thinking a lot while Kaith and I were both becoming more and more impatient to know the part of his story, so that I could recollect all the pieces of the truth from the past.

And then, finally, he started,

“Well, all these started so many years ago. Probably more than ten years if I am not wrong.

Everything started when one day we found our alpha and luna of the Blood Bay pack lying dead at their own house all covered in blood. They were merely recognisable back then, cause their bodies were ripped apart ever so brutally and there were no places left on them where they were not scratched viciously.

I must say that the death of the alpha and luna of the Blood Bay pack, indeed seemed mysterious back then. Cause there were no other clues left for us than to believe that this was the doing of no one but the rogues out there who kept attacking into our territory for quite some time. Even though everyone assumed that it was the rogues who killed them both without any mercy, strangely there was no evidence of the fact that it was rogues who dared to intrude into the house.

Anyway, with the lack of proof, we could not do anything to take a step against such loss that our pack went through. So, I personally decided to keep looking for any kind of hint which will lead me to the real culprit.

But, to the least of my expectation, one of the alpha's twin sons came to me. He was very young back then, but when he came to me after days, he was looking so terrified for some reason.

I realised that it was not just us who lost our alpha and luna but these kids had lost their mother and father as well at such a young age. But little did I know that he was something more to say to me which absolutely explained his devastated state.

I was completely shocked when he told me everything whatever he saw that day. Even I was trembling after imagining what he had to go through, whereas he was just a kid. But one thing was clear to me that if I let him tell what he had witnessed back then, his life might be in danger cause the one who did this must be a cold-blooded murderer.

So, I made a promise to him that I will help him find the killer of his mom and dad, but for that, he needed to stay quiet about all these. Even though I knew that I was hiding the only clue what I have got, but I had no other choices back then, cause even when he saw that there was one who killed his parents, he could not identify him at all. So I needed to dig into the matter even more without anyone's awareness, only because I did not want to alert the culprit even before I could gather much evidence and at the same time I was intended to keep the Blood Bay pack safe, at least until I got each and every proof against the one.” Jacob stopped after a while, and again he zoned out to somewhere else in his mind.

“What did you do then?” Kaith could not hold back his curiosity to more and ended up asking Jacob, without bothering the least about the fact that he was interrupting him to think.

But Jacob did not show any sign to feel any disturbed for Kaith's such act, and answered his question in no time.

“Well, I tried...I kept trying to find someone who was quite similar to what Kazan had explained to me. But I could find none back then. It appeared that the one who killed our alpha and luna, must mean away to hide in some place.

Years passed, still I got nothing in my hand.

During this time, I had to keep Kazan with the Blood Bay pack while Markus, his twin brother had to go with their grandfather. And Kazan became all alone but still, he never complained as he kept believing in the promise that I once made.

And after so many years of struggle, one day strangely I saw someone on the streets who seemed similar to the one I was dying to find out. So, I decided to follow him and ended up in the Lunar High Pack.

Even though I visited all the packs around us in the past few years in search of the one, but I found no one suspicious back then. Then he must have come out of his rat hole after all those years, thinking that his sin was long forgotten. But little did he know that I was still there to make him remember what exactly he did.

And that was how, one day I decided to visit Lunar High Pack once again, and before that, I told everything to Seth who was the beta of the Lunar High, cause we became friends over years and he promised me to help. He arranged me a meeting with his alpha mad luna, so that I could show them all the evidence that I had collected over these years against one of their pack members.

But little did I know that, my one single move will cause even more disaster in a later time. Cause even before I could tell them who was the one I came to take with me to make him pay for his deeds after showing all the evidence in my hand, we got interrupted by the very one whom I was
