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

Yes, Benjamin.

He came running to inform that their only daughter, that means you, had gone after some rogues and that too alone. After hearing such news, anyone would rush to save their child without thinking about anything else. So, the did exactly the same and went to rescue you before time, while they even forget to verify if that was a trap for them or not.

I guess that was exactly what Benjamin wanted. And I was left all alone in the office only to face this vicious murderer Benjamin who was no different than some rogue.

Even after so, I was all ready to take him down no matter what but, he tricked me and injected me with wolfsbane in our fight inside the office which I was winning of course. But I was no more able to fight against him and blacked out.

I did not know what exactly happened next, but when I opened my eyes the next time, I was already tied up by those treacherous shackles inside the pitch dark room.

For so long I could not figure out where I was kept, but after living in there and observing each and everything I guessed that the place must be somewhere in this pack, cause he would never afford to keep me somewhere else if he needed to know how I was aware of what he did years ago when no one was around to witness his sin.

During this time, I also figured out that he became the alpha of the Lunar High, that means he killed the real alpha and luna as well.

So, except enduring his brutal torture for all these years, I had no other choices left, because no matter what I needed to keep the truth to me only, giving enough time for Kazan to find out the truth on his own in time.

But I was expecting the least to see you, all of a sudden today.” Jacob stopped at last and looked at me.

Everything started to become all clear to me bit by bit. But even before I could say something, Kaith asked all of a sudden,

“Dad knew about all this, the whole time?” Kaith's pale face was enough to realise that he was completely shocked to know the whole truth.

“Seth, is your father?” Jacob asked while his eyes widened unconsciously.

“Yes. He is Seth's only son, Kaith.” I introduced him to Jacob, and said further,

“And yes, Kaith. Seth knew about all this since the beginning and he did tell me everything that day when I went to discuss with him about what I was planning to do. So, you do not have to freak out. I believe he has more to tell. So, it would be great if you can call him and ask him to come here. I believe he would like to see his friend after so many years.”

Summer's P.OV

****flashback continues****

We did not have to wait for long after Kaith called his dad to ask him to come over. And within a little span of time, it was Seth standing at the doorstep of my house already.

“What is the matter, son? That you could not tell over the phone. Is it something serious? What did you do this time?” Seth confronted the poor Kaith while making his way in, through the front door, leaving my poor friend no chance to explain at all. It seemed that Kaith really took over his dad.

Anyway, just when Seth entered the sitting area where the two of us, Jacob and I were waiting ever so eagerly for him to arrive, he got completely frozen right at his spot, while his eyes were already fixed on the new member in our house right now, whom he was seeing after a very long time.

The expression on his face was clear enough to tell that he was completely shocked to find that the unexpected happened at last. He could not form any words for the time being and just keep standing while he was still trying to process all the things that he was seeing just before his eyes.

“How are you, Seth?” Jacob spoke up, seeing that Seth was not at all going to say anything first due to utter shock. His warm smile showed how happy he was to meet someone whom he once called his friend.

“Jacob? Is that you? Oh my goodness, is that really you? How are you here after all these years? You do not know, how much I tried to find you out.” With that, Seth rushed to his side and pulled him in a hug desperately, as if he just found out his long lost treasure. Their friendship was indeed something.

I did not interrupt both of them neither did Kaith while the two, Jacob and Seth was still on the very process to recollect all the things about what happened before as well as what is happening right now.

It was quite hard for both of them to believe that they would even get to meet today, in such a way, with the least of their expectations.

“Yes, it is me, Seth. It is been a long time now. I have grown a bit old too, so did you.” With Jacob's words, both of them laughed together after so long.

“Years, Jacob. So many years have passed. Even though I could not save you that night, but believe me I have never stopped looking for you, not even for once. It was just that I had other responsibilities to keep, so I could not take risks to come forth, even though I wanted to turn the whole world upside down.” Seth's eyes became gloomy for a bit, after remembering the time from the cruel past.

“Dad, we want to know what exactly happened that night? Where were you? Why could you not be with
