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

I had shifted she gave me a quick lick just before she turned to run away. What? Now she wants to run? She wants me to chase her? While I was standing dumbfounded due to her sudden action, I felt that she was going far and far away from me as her smell was becoming mild in the surrounding with each passing second. So, I ran. I ran to get her. I followed her scent which had indeed led me out of the darkest alley in no time only to run on the quiet street once again but this time the light didn't leave us to struggle to find our way to each other. There was no one on the street as it was almost midnight, making it way easier for us to run wherever we want, without a worry. I kept running as the smell was directing my way without fail and I saw her. At last. I saw a huge brown wolf was standing under the vapour light and was swaying her thick and pretty tail into the air. As I kept enclosing the distance between us, the smell got intense once again, making me crazy for her even more. I remembered that I didn't get to know yet, who she is actually, but that doesn't matter anymore. Isn't it? All I needed to know that she was my mate. The mate, for whom I have waited. About whom I have dreamt. And who is mine...only mine. Soon, I covered the whole distance between us only to stand facing my mate. She was as huge as mine but she was in a wonderful brown shade whereas mine was grey. I kept acknowledging my mate who was looking divine under the light of the street lamp, but she didn't give me much time as she ran again to hide. And of course, I followed. Are we playing some kind of chasing game? Like, hide and seek? Really? I was becoming nuts, and she was enjoying herself to play with me at this moment? What was she trying to do? As I kept following her from behind because I was quite enjoying the view, I was soon introduced to a very familiar street. My heart almost jumped out when I had realized. It was the same street that I had crossed so many times before. My mind started to picture my possible mate ever so impatiently that I couldn't hold myself back from increasing my pace to catch her up. But before I could do that, I saw her going inside the most familiar house, confirming all of the assumptions that I had in my head before. I knew that she went to shift back and put some clothes on but still I followed right after I changed back and walked inside without bothering about the fact that I was naked. For me, seeing her was the most important than my embarrassment. And also why should I be ashamed when she is my mate and have all the rights to see me like this. Why should I bother? Thinking about a lot of things I went to a particular room from where my mate's smell was pulling me towards her with its enchantments. And as soon as I opened the door without knocking, my face got hit by a pillow and of course, a terrifying yell accompanied. But still, it couldn't stop me from having a glimpse of my mate's half-bare body, making me all aroused even without my will. And do you know what was the most pathetic thing in this whole situation? I could not hide my arousal because I was naked and had nothing to hide myself with while my mate saw me clearly, thinking that I was surely a pervert or something. Now, who would make her understand that it was only her who could make me react like such? And I was helpless enough to stop myself from craving for her. In no time, another pillow had crashed into my face followed by a towel, while I kept standing at her door without any intention to go away, covering my pride only with my hands. I grabbed the towel to wrap around me without waiting further, preventing myself from getting more of her yelling at the same time. “What were you doing there?” She asked right after the tensed atmosphere between us became normal. “What? What I was doing there? It is me, who should be asking the same question to you.” All of a sudden I was engulfed with a lot of worries which made me really frustrated this time. “You answer me first.” Even when she saw my miserable state of mind, she chose to stay to her words, as if she was determined to know the reasons which she was struggling to understand. “Well, I kept feeling my wolf as I was becoming impatient for no reason throughout this evening. And this condition didn't get any better but worsened with each passing time. So, I went out to look for the possible reason. Somehow, I was feeling that someone needed me badly. As if I was needed to be somewhere else with someone important. The feeling was like someone was calling me with a painful heart, that I couldn't ignore. I assumed that it must be my mate as my wolf was going insane. And then on my way, your smell made me stop and I discovered you in the deep dark alley, quite unexpectedly.” I poured everything out in front of her only to listen, “Oh. I see.” That little answer came from my mate right after I delivered a long essay like speech. I mean really? That much you have to say after all these? Her beautiful brown eyes didn't leave the spot on the ground where she kept her gaze fixed the whole time. “And now it's your turn. Why were you there?” I asked again as she didn't
