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

His head seemed heavy on my shoulder as his entire body was leaning on me, like some lifeless being. I couldn't even explain how miserably my heart was paining, seeing him in such condition, while his blood didn't cease to soak my attire as well.

Although I knew that there was no one to listen to my prayers but still I kept asking for some more time, so that Markus could get enough time to be healed.

Except that, I couldn't think anything else.

I kept speeding up the bike like never before. The wind felt harsh, while the cold night could not stop me from sweating. But nothing could bother me enough at that moment, as I was determined to save my saviour whom I used to hate once.

Yes,

Just one single incident changed everything. I had never believed before that I would be this desperate to save Markus. Only tonight I had realised that though he was not the ideal guy, he was not that bad either. Yes, he had faults too, just like anyone else, which is not wrong.

After a while, when I reached the hospital along with the still unconscious Markus who was leaning on my back, I called for help desperately. And help did come in no time, and Markus was taken inside for surgery as soon as possible.

I let go of the breath at last which I was holding in for long.

I let my body tremble, which I couldn't allow all this while cause I needed to be strong for him. To save him. And I did succeed.

And now I had another thing left to do. So, I took out my phone from my pocket and called the only one who would help me out for sure.

“Where are you right now?” Without giving him time to say anything, I asked as soon as Kaith picked up the call.

“At the packhouse. Why? Did anything happen? You are sounding quite weird.” He started his queries once again but I didn't have time for his interrogations, so I had to stop him,

“Listen to me carefully. You need to pick someone to drag him to the pack hospital right now. Okay? And don't ask me further questions. Cause I will tell you everything later. But for now, do exactly what I say. Don't try to fight, don't try to accuse anyone of anything whatever you will be seeing afterwards. Just bring that person straight to the hospital without a single word. Okay? Are you getting me?” My voice was stern as I had no reason to act otherwise.

“Yes. From where?” Keith asked without any more questions, just as I had asked and he did understand the intensity of the moment.

And with that, I told him to go to the exact street where I had left the broken Adrien just a while ago. Even when he tried to harm me badly, I couldn't leave him at the middle of the road to be smashed under some other wheels.

So, I asked Kaith to do the job for me.

“Who am I looking for?” Keith asked at last.

“Adrian.”

He hung up the phone with just one name with no further comments. And I could rest assured that he would do exactly what I had asked him to do.

But little did I know that even though Kaith was willing to help, the situation was not at all favourable. Cause after some time I saw Kaith entering the hospital but to my surprise he was alone.

“What happened?” I asked worriedly as soon as he came to stand in front of me with a frown n his face.

“Where is he? Where is Adrian? Did you already kill him? I asked you not to do anything. Why didn't you listen?” I kept asking as he was still standing quiet, keeping his intense gaze on me in order to figure out something else which kept bothering him all this while.

“I didn't do anything. When I went there, he was gone already. I could see no one, not even his bike. But...” He answered finally, breaking the silence only to invite it once again to torment me even more as I was becoming impatient with each passing seconds.

“But?” I wanted him to proceed desperately.

“But the place was totally covered with blood. What happened there, Sam? And why are you here? Whose blood is all over your clothes?” He asked calmly with a lot of concerns and I knew that he was scared to assume that something bad must have happened. Anyone who would see such a scene would definitely be scared to death. So, it was my turn to say him everything.

“It's Markus.” With that, I told him each and everything that happened to me recently. I disclosed every single thing before my best friend at last, and about meeting my mate as well, whom I didn't see yet.

And after listening to all of my side of the story, he asked me the only thing,

“Now, what do you want to do?”

“Nothing. I don't want any chaos anymore because of me. I don't even want to blame anyone for tonight. I just want to think that nothing happened and you would do the same.

I don't want an eye for an eye. Cause it will only create a greater conflict among the packs. And I don't want that.

I just wish that nothing happens to Markus, otherwise, I could never forgive myself. Cause for me he is suffering right now. It's true that I am the most unlucky one indeed.” My voice trembled, at last, thinking that someone else was now paying for my sins, which I might have done unknowingly.

And then I was suddenly reminded of the one whom I supposed to meet again, tonight.

Mate must be waiting for me.

“Kaith, I need to go.” I said hurriedly.

“Where?” He
