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

you leave your bike?” Kaith asked again, as soon as we reached home and also when he could not see my bike once again.

“I will bring it back tonight, for sure, do not worry.” I assured him and went straight to my room.

I was exhausted.

Neither I wanted to move even for the slightest bit, nor I could. But even then, I could not stay like this, covered with all this blood and filth.

Though quite reluctantly, I dragged my body to the bathroom and got out of all my clothes in no time, keeping them aside only to throw them away later. Without wasting any time further, I hop into the shower to let the cold water run down my body, taking all the filth away from my skin without letting me bother myself much to move, attempting to scrub the dirt out.

I stood under the shower for long today, but after some time even the cold water could not ease away my pain anymore. No, my body was not aching but my heart was. So, I kept saying myself that if not now, the next few more moments, would surely make me feel better. But, it seemed like the moment never came.

So, with no further hope, I came out of the shower and stood in front of the mirror. Even though I was standing in front of my very own reflection, I could not recognise myself, anymore. Rather I could not see myself anymore.

The innumerable scars were all I could see.

My cuts did heal very fast but as if the scars were never meant to disappear. Yes, the scars were now invading every inch of my skin without any mercy, only to remind me of what happened today...only to remind me how unfortunate I am...only to remind me of the one who gifted me with all these. Yes, my mate.

It was not that, only my body was ruined because the scars were visible. Because the invisible scar left me the greatest pain of all.

Anyway,

I have to live with it now. Except accepting my ever so cruel fate, I was left with no other better choice if I look now.

And to stay this way, I need to meet Markus tonight.

So, throughout the day I did not feel like going out to anywhere else, neither Kaith insisted me to do anything this time either. I just stayed in my bed all day.

Until, it was time.

Time to meet Kazan.

I dressed up quickly once again to go out. I was a bit earlier though, cause I did not want to be late tonight.

“Do you want me to drop you?” As soon as I went out of my room, Kaith asked seeing me all ready to go out. It seemed as if he was waiting for me the whole day ever so patiently, giving myself enough space to stay alone, at least for today, just like I needed.

How could he understand me so well every time, without any effort?

I must have done something good for sure to get a best friend like Kaith.

And I always believe that.

“No, I want to walk there. You stay at home and rest. I will be fine. Do not worry, Kaith. Okay?” I wanted to make him assured that he had nothing to worry about me. Even when I knew that my words would not work at all, until he makes sure himself, still I tried. And surprisingly he said nothing this time as well.

“Fine. Do not think twice to call me when you feel like.” With that, he made himself comfortable on the couch once again just before I walked out of the house.

I reached there earlier than Kazan tonight. The alley was still dark as ever, just like my life with no ray of hope at all. I did not have to wait for long, because in no time the most intoxicating smell came to me again, announcing that Kazan is coming too.

It did not take much time to feel the same rough and sturdy hands around my body, embracing with all his warmth, while at the same time I was reminded that it was the very same hand which caused me innumerable scars, unknowingly this morning.

“Mate!” He called me out in the dark but his voice was low tonight. As if he was broken and injured too.

But I did not have any reason to stop myself anymore, cause it will be the last time ever. So, I lifted both of my hands up only to hold his face in between my palms and did not wait for another second to kiss him deep for the one last time. Though Kazan was a bit moved by my sudden action, he did not stop me, rather he deepened the kiss even more as if he needed it much more than me. As if he was dying to get just one touch of his mate. Mine.

And I was not at all intended to stop myself tonight.

Episode 27

Kazan's P.O.V

Today was indeed a rough day for me. I had to taint my hands once again but I did something very wrong, I am not going deny.

I was more disgusted with myself, realising how I could be so blind that I could not even see who was actually wrong and who was not, at all, and ended up venting my anger on someone who was always innocent. Also when I always knew she was someone beyond this kind of treacherous mentality. She was never born to do anything at someone's back.

Although I knew all these about her since long, today I got ensured once again. Summer was indeed the fearless one who was never scared to face any kind of consequences with heads on, instead of hiding behind. My respect for her had increased even more than before and
