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

“Well, it is related to Summer. I know that you have been a very good friend to her since the very beginning but I want you to keep on doing the same. I need you to protect her well when I am not around her. At least when she is here, in this pack.

In short, I am asking you to keep your each and every sense open all the time. Especially when it comes to your Alpha Benjamin.

I know that I am asking you to act against the alpha of your pack, but I am sure that if you do so, you will realise soon why I asked you to do that in the first place. So, you do not have to believe just in my words but try to look for yourself all the truths which were hidden since long.

Could you please do that for me?” I requested Kaith. Cause I needed to protect the innocent from the evil. And this time nothing could go wrong.

“Are you trying to say that Summer needs to be protected from her own uncle?” He asked exactly what I was trying to tell him all this while, but I just could not understand what he was thinking right now, as his face stayed unreadable the whole time.

“Yes.” I replied.

“Okay. I will do that. You did not even have to ask me cause I pledged to protect her from the very beginning as I was always meant to be her beta...though it is unfortunate that she could not be the alpha which she was born for. And to tell you the truth, I was always a bit wary of alpha Benjamin too, but I could not find anything yet.

Anyway,

You still did not tell me how do you know my father?” Kaith asked at the last of all what he just said.

“Well, when I came to find him, I did not know that Seth was your father as well. But I got to know that eventually.” I replied back to his queries, making myself careful enough to answer just what I needed to.

“What do you mean that you came to find my father? Why were you looking for him?” He asked and I knew that I should say no more than just the answer.

“Well, I was told before to look for someone called Seth, cause he had got everything that I was looking for. So that is it. Anyway, I should go now. Remember what I have asked you to do and do not tell anyone about our conversation today. I will see you soon.

And yes, watch out for Adrian. He has been coming to see your Alpha too often nowadays.” With that, I went out of the room to see Summer before I leave.

Summer's P.O.V

“What did Kazan tell you today? Is it something serious?” I asked Kaith while we made our way to the school entrance.

“Yes, it is, Sam. He asked me to look after you when he is not around. As if I was doing something else when he was not there before. Tsk.” Came his reply along with his ever so irritating smirk.

“Anyway, what are your plans for today?” He uttered right after when we reached our lockers to get the books for our classes.

“Same. School, work, home. Why?” I asked casually.

“Just because, I wanted to know. Okay, see you then.” Just when the bell went off Kaith left for his class and I had to go to mine.

But still, I was curious thinking, if that was all that Kazan asked Kaith this morning. And again, I was also worried about whatever uncle Benjamin had asked me to do. There was no doubt that I was indeed worried to figure out how to get to the truth about what actually had happened in the past. There were so many things left to solve yet, and I did not know where to start.

My mind was busy thinking about all the newly occurred turmoils which kept bothering me lately, just when another one appeared out of nowhere only to engulf me with even more difficulties from which I might need to struggle hard to break free.

Cause I already forgot about Markus and his confessions.

“Hey, Summer.” Markus greeted me with a million-dollar smile just when I entered the classroom.

“Hi.” I went to sit down on the last seat left for me which was exactly next to Markus. I had no other option to sit elsewhere cause the class was full already.

“So, did you think about what I had asked you yesterday?” He whispered coming a bit closer to me.

“About what?” I enquired as I was so involved with the other things right now that I had totally forgotten about whatever he asked me before at the library.

“A date, Summer. Will you come with me?” He asked again, ever so desperately.

“Look, Markus, I know that there is some kind of bond between you and me but that is only because of Kazan. But I think...” I could not even finish my words as the teacher came in no time, and once again I could not say 'no' to him properly, which I should have said way before.

The classes went on, depriving me of the chances to let Markus know that I was not at all intended to go on a date with him, neither I was willing to give rise to any kind of feelings for him.

But little did I know that not being able to tell Markus 'no' would lead me to another great misery in the coming time.

Little did I know that it would cause me to lose the only good thing which had happened to me at last.

Cause something happened without much of my wish and I was accused of betrayal for what I
