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

“Okay.” Came his reply just before I felt his cold lips on my neck all of a sudden and it was enough for me to guess in how many ways I was going to be tortured throughout our journey.

The wheels kept running on some unusual roads than before, as Kazan kept distracting me from behind unknowingly for minutes now. And me?

Well, I was again engulfed with the thoughts about all the information which had been disclosed before me recently. And strangely, I became quite suspicious about a few things now. I could not tell whom should I trust and whom I should not. But one thing I had started to believe for sure that, whatever I knew about the incident at that night was not at all a complete truth. There must be something else which I just could not see through, at least not yet.

****flashback****

After Markus left me behind at the school library, my mind kept getting entangled more and more, thinking about all those unnecessary complications to deal with, at least after what happened today, when I had enough of my own problems already.

And all those overthinking denied me from feeling some unexpectedly new but strange tingles which I had never expected to feel due to another person and also which I should have noticed way before, only if I bothered myself enough to look beyond my pitiful life, at least for once.

Anyway,

I did overlook the very thing which I should not have if I was intended enough to look for the truth behind such confusion, so that I did not have to be immensely shocked later when the truth got revealed on its own.

The last bell rang, at last, declaring that the school had ended for today and it was time to go again on our respective ways. But the sudden rainfall in this season was successful enough to make the day lazier than ever, not only for me but for everyone else.

I went out of the entrance of our school only to find that it was still pouring outside. I saw few people were waiting for the rain to stop before they go out of the school building while others were bothered the least to stop for the surprising downpour.

I did not realise when Kaith had come and was standing beside me, until he asked,

“What are you thinking, Sam? Is it about what Alpha Benjamin said to you this morning?” He was right though. I was indeed worried about whatever uncle said this morning, raising so many questions in my mind about the past.

“Kaith! Do you know what exactly happened that night a few years ago? I mean, when my mom and dad were killed by the rogue. Tell me anything that you remember.” I asked Kaith as I was desperate enough to know more about that night from as many persons as possible, so that I could better realise what is the truth and what is not.

“Well, I don't know everything about the incident that night, but as far as I heard, our former Alpha and Luna went to look for you as soon as they were informed that you went after a rogue, alone. They even left an important meeting that night only to save you ever so desperately, just when uncle Benjamin came with the news about you. And after that, you know what happened. We all saw uncle Benjamin rushed out somewhere and then came with the bodies after a while. And you came after that.” Kaith informed but I was feeling like something was not right about whatever he just said.

“Did you say uncle informed about me to my mom and dad?” I enquired as I clearly remembered that it was just me who eavesdropped someone's conversation about the intruder and went to look for it back then. I could not remember exactly who it was but I was certain that I did not tell anyone about my little hunt that night...not even to Kaith.

“Yes” He ensured and that was where all the suspicion began. My mind got entangled once again but I chose to keep it inside me for now.

“Where was your dad that night. I mean a beta is expected to be with his alpha all the time.” I queried again and waited for him to answer.

“Again, as far as I know, he was out with some business that he was assigned by the alpha. And he did come right after when you arrived at the pack that night, which you might have not noticed back then.” As soon as he finished, Jenny arrived and I had to stop enquiring further about that night.

Instead, we talked about other things while we chose to wait for some more time for the rain to stop, but it seemed that it was never meant to happen.

So, Jenny could not wait any longer as she had to go for her work and Kaith had to take her there too. And I did not have any other reason to wait either as I had work to go to, as well.

After seeing off Kaith and Jenny, I was about to pull out my bike from the parking when a hand pulled me into a tight hug from behind, emitting the strongest sparks all over my body, as the very familiar voice brushed against my ears,

“I missed you so much. I am sorry I could not come earlier.” Just his words were enough to compel me to let my guard down, at least when he was around. And I knew for sure that it was Kazan this time who did not even bother to stop himself from touching me this way like I was all his to exploit.

And he did not wait long to enclose my lips with
