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

pleased with my answer, as he went further to entangle me with his arms and pulled me close to his chest, asking,

“So, do you like me now?” He asked again and buried his head on the crook of my neck without bothering to wait for my answer.

Even though I nodded a 'yes' as an answer, I doubted if he even noticed or not, as he went busy to quench his thirst once again.

The room warmed up once more, even though the night was dark and cold outside the window.

But even if everything seemed okay till now, it was my destiny what I was talking about, which was never meant to go right, never ever.

So, not even this time, of course.

Episode 34

Summer's P.O.V

The morning started differently today, unlike all those days which I had become quite used to deal with, for the past few years now. Before, I used to wake up alone in the morning, but it seemed that I could do the same no more.

Cause a strong hand kept pulling me back only to stay close to a warm yet rock hard body early in the morning while something kept grinding on my back causing me to wake up faster than ever due to a lot and lots of tingles which were spreading all over me for no reason at all.

Or maybe there was.

I opened my eyes only to see that the day was already shining brightly outside the window. Which means I was sleeping for long...really long.

Yes, I slept through the entire day and night yesterday, like never before.

I tried to move on my side but could not as the tight grip of my mate around me did not loosen even for a bit, even though he was still sleeping. His soft snoring just behind my ears was telling me so...that he was asleep indeed, but something else was informing me otherwise.

How could he be so hard when he is still asleep?

How could he even move like this without being all awake?

What the hell is he thinking?

This pervert.

“Kazan!” I tried to shove him away a little bit, so that I could get up, but it seemed that I was just trying to move the mountain with my fingers which were meant to turn out all futile.

But, to my surprise, his low voice came in the next moment,

“Hmm?” And with that, he buried his head again on the crook of my neck while pulling me towards him even closer than before, as if that was even possible.

“Let me go. It is already morning Kazan.” I tried to free myself again, but I failed, just like the previous attempt.

“No.” Kazan's voice appeared a bit grumpy this time. It sounded as if someone tried to snatch away the most favourite toy from a little boy.

“We have to go to school. So, you get up and let me go now.” I was becoming more and more impatient with this stubborn guy which was so unlikely of me, but I just could not help it.

“We will definitely go to school but only when I am done.” Kazan replied, scaring the hell out of me early in the morning.

“What do you mean?” I had to ask to prove myself that whatever I was assuming was completely bizarre. But little did I know that it was not.

“I mean, I am not done with you yet.” He declared just before Kazan flip me in a swift move only to face him this time. And he was hell serious.

I freaked out.

No, I got scared, actually, seeing my beast mate before my eyes.

“No no no. You brute!!.. Let me go. I am done with you. I can not do this anymore. You savage guy!!! Let me go. I am telling you for the last time.” I kept yelling at him while I did not stop throwing my fists towards his inescapable body to rescue myself in such a circumstance.

“Okay.” Kazan agreed at last while he still did not bother to loosen his grip on me even for a bit.

“Okay?” I enquired as it seemed so suspicious of him. If not his word but his smirk was saying out loud that Kazan was planning something else, which I did not know yet.

“Yes. But on one condition.” He blurted out the very words, exactly which I was afraid of. Now, what was he going to ask me to do?

“And what is that?” I asked with my wide eyes as I just could not believe that the very same Kazan who was always way beyond playing tricks was now playing with me, quite surprisingly.

“Well, I will let you go for now only if you agree to come to live together with me at my pack from today and forever.” Whatever Kazan just said made me completely stupefied. I kept looking at his eyes which were still sparkling the blue in them. I tried to find whether he was kidding with me or not. But I forgot that it was Kazan who doesn't even bother to do such things, not with others and obviously not with his mate. He just kept waiting for my answer with no intention to let me go unless his demands are fulfilled.

But how could I agree?

How could I leave my pack like this?

Even when I am unwanted for all the members of my pack, still I just can not leave the place which was my dad's once. It is the only place where all the memories of me with my mom and dad are, when we were happy once.

And most of all, how could I go with him to drag him down to the dark pit together with me?

I must not forget that I am the unfortunate one.

“No... I can not do that. And you
