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

any of us, as I could already see that Adrian would never dig his own grave by blurting out the truth, no matter what. It would only create another havoc if Adrian dies because of Kaith. And I just could not allow that. I could let Kaith lead an unfortunate life just like me.

“No!!!! Do not do that Sam. If you accept the lie just like that, it won't affect people like them at all, but you will be ruined, even when you did nothing. They will be free to roam with their heads held high all they want, but you will have to suffer for the sin that you never did. And I just can not let that happen.” Screamed Kaith as he was reluctant to stop trying to prove me innocent, in front of everyone.

I looked around to see that the other people of my pack just standing there and watching the scene to please their eyes seeing me getting blamed. Uncle Benjamin seemed no different than them, surprisingly. And there was no one to stand by my side except the one who was now turned into something inhuman. There were no other eyes in which I could see a little bit of concern, except Kaith's which was now turned into red in the utmost rage.

“Speak, you brute.” Kaith kept repeating the same phrase with each of his violent attack with his rock hard fist, as if he had already turned crazy with utter hatred and disgust.

“What you want me to say? Did not you just hear what she had confessed? She did all of this.” Adrian dared to open his mouth once again in between his unstable breathing, irrespective of Kaith's unstoppable punching.

And he did not say anything different from his previous words.

Lies.

He lied again.

Even though I knew he was lying...even though Kaith believed in me too... But still, I could see no other way in which the truth could be revealed before everyone.

Kazan would not believe.

Not even the other members of my pack would be believing me either and I really doubted now what my uncle would see me as, too.

I turned to look at Kazan, but it appeared like he was still waiting for some unknown reason. He was letting Kaith beat the hell out of his friend, without doing anything at all.

But why?

What would he get?

And then, at last, he lifted up his sword quite unwillingly though, and pointed at Kaith, saying,

“Enough.

Let him go.

Until now, you could prove nothing and neither did Adrian said anything else, different than before.

And also what are you trying to make him say when Summer had already accepted her deeds?” Kazan's deep voice made the others flinch in terror, except us three. Adrian smiled the most menacing smile ever, as if he had succeeded finally with his treacherous schemes. And I shattered from inside after hearing what mate just said.

Yes, he believed the lies.

Anyway, as if I was expecting him to say otherwise.

For me, it was fated to happen.

Kaith did stop and stood up, while he made sure not to loosen the grip on Adrian and dragged his tattered body up, only to make him stand up on the ground along with himself.

“Just because she accepted and he did not say anything different than before, lies do not become truth, that easily.

You could be blind, but I am not.” Kaith replied ferociously, and just when he was about to beat Adrian once again, Kazan swung his sword, cutting the thin air ever so swiftly with his inevitable and fast motion in immense force from the depth of his muscles only to slash Kaith this time, before my eyes.

As if I would ever let that happen.

As if I would let Kazan harm the only one who always stayed by my side, no matter what.

So, I lifted my sword too even before Kazan's blade could even touch a single hair on Kaith's body.

The fierce clanking sound of crashing our blades, resonated through the surrounding once again.

And this time I saw my end in his obsidian eyes.

But it could not scare me at all, because I was ready to die.

I was ready to end all my agony in the hands of my own mate.

And just when Kazan's sword was about to cut through my heart, it stopped an inch before my skin with the ferocious growl ever.

Even the earth shook.

“Kazan!!!!!!” The very familiar voice pierced through the air.

And Adrian's face became paler than ever, cause there was standing Markus, all conscious and healed up completely.

Without delaying another second, Markus came to stand in front of me, shoving me behind cautiously only to stand at the stake of Kazan's wrathful sword, making me quite surprised with his sudden act.

Was he the same Markus I used to hate once?

I was completely stupefied.

And so was the others. Kaith sighed in a bit of relief while Adrian started to tremble, assuming what was going to come up next which would definitely not spare him for whatever treacherous scheme he had conspired, in the absence of Markus.

And Kazan?

Well,

His eyes could not even believe that Markus came here all this way only to stand against him.

“Summer did nothing.” Markus's words were more than enough for Kazan to realize the whole conspiracy and it did not take even a second to figure out who was behind all of this havoc.

His eyes became even darker, as if he was even more disgusted with himself this time.

Yes, he might have realised what he had been doing all this while, because even when he kept looking at me, it still seemed that he could not meet my eyes anymore.

I saw guilt in his seductive blue.

“How are you here? You were still unconscious when I last
