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

that she could never run from me, ever again. I marked her, hoping that she might change her thoughts. I kept holding her tight into my arms all night and did not let go even for once.

But for what?

When all my efforts proved to be all for nothing, at last.

Yes, she left me again.

When I opened my eyes this morning, I found out that it was only me who was lying on the ground naked, while there was no trace of my mate anywhere near me.

It seemed that she had left me ever so cruelly when I was sleeping peacefully, keeping my mate close to my bare body for the first time in my life.

It seemed that she chose to leave my heart empty once again when my heart was becoming whole for one more time after that night, days ago.

She was cruel indeed.

Why could she not see how much I wanted her...how much I needed her?

But still, nothing could ever make me lose any hope to be with my mate, no matter what.

I stood up from the ground and walked back naked on the tracks through the deserted wood to find my clothes. And even though I found them, I realised that they were all tattered due to my unplanned shifting. So, I searched for my phone instead.

I dialled Jeremy's number as soon as I found my phone and he picked up in no time.

“Where the hell are you?” His panicked voice came from the other end of the call, but I was bothered the least to answer him back right now, neither did I need to.

“Bring me a change of clothes right now.” With that, I told him the address of the place where he needed to come.

And, except for sighing, I had nothing left to do.

Cause, I failed again, to make my mate stay with me, forever.

“Have Summer ever tried to talk to you since then? Did you get to see her in the past few days?” Markus asked again, pulling me out of my thoughts suddenly. I realised that I had some unfinished business with her too. But strangely, I could never see her ever since, so that I could ask for my due punishment because of whatever wrong I did to her before.

I could not look for her either that persistently, cause I was so involved to wait for my mate in the past few days.

“No” I answered. But little did I know what was coming next.

Cause, the ever so irritating Lizzie came to cling on Markus again saying,

“Oh, you guys don't know. Do you? That slut, Summer could not come to school, cause that bitch is totally in the heat for the past few days.” Lizzie's nasally voice appeared quite irritating, as I was well aware of all the nonsense she usually dares to say. And I just tolerate her barely, only for Markus.

“What?” Markus even cared to respond to her bull shit, for no reason at all. But little did I care about a gossip right now, as I was in no such mood.

“Yeah, she got marked strangely over one night and that is why she is in heat now. I knew this will happen one day. Cause she is a bitch, you know... And if she keeps sleeping around with some random guys, what else could I expect to happen? Who knows, how did she got marked? Maybe by one of his sex mates.” Lizzie replied but it appeared to me as if a slut herself was accusing some innocent with all those nasty deeds which Lizzie kept doing, not Summer. And I believed that.

But, suddenly, a thought passed through my mind and changed everything for me. As if something clicked...as if two pieces of a puzzle perfectly fitted in no time just like a coincidence, only to mess up each and every opinion that I kept tossing in my mind till now and made me think all over again.

And this time, I found the reason which I was trying to look for long, but failed every time.

Why?

Why did I not think of this possibility even before?

She was always before my sight but how could I not realise that it was always her?

But still, I should confirm first, even if my heart was saying that I was right at last. My wolf started to become all anxious back in my mind, confirming the fact that Summer could be her.

She could be my one and only unknown mate.

And if I think properly, she had each and every reason to behave in such a way that she did.

If it was really her, I did a terrible sin indeed, for which I could never forgive myself.

I got up from my seat and rushed out of the school without bothering to inform anyone what I was up to or where I was going?

Cause for me, my mate was everything to be concerned about right now.

I just can not believe that Summer was in heat.

Maybe because of me, cause I bit her a few days back impulsively and she needed me now.

I sped up the bike like never before and reached in front of her place in no time. So, without letting my anxiety grow even more I headed towards her door to knock, but strangely it was open.

I let myself in effortlessly and then everything started to become all clear, as the most familiar and captivating smell of my mate did not fail to come to me, just when I hurried to the very source and pushed open the door with a loud thud.

And there she was.

My mate, my Summer.
