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

back anymore as it was enough for me already to tolerate all her nonsense, at least not when I was in no better mood right now.

I moved my hands ever so quickly only to shove her plastic face on the wall with quite a good force, while I did not let loose my grip on her neck even for a second. I twisted her hands behind, breaking a few of her bones for sure cause she did not stop screaming at all. And that was what I wanted her to feel for what she just said unconsciously.

“Did you just say that Kazan is yours? Since when, you bitches?

Listen to me carefully.

He is mine.

Kazan is only mine, and if any of you dares to come near him or if any of you dare to take his name even for once, since today, I will come and rip you off, so that you will not be there to do the same anymore.

Do. you. get. that?” I kept banging the wall with her head ever so brutally that I could not even realise that she had passed out already, a while ago.

Just when I loosened my grip on her, Lizzie's limp body fell on the floor without any mercy, only for her friends to drag her to the school infirmary, later.

I looked around only to see that the whole corridor was completely crowded yet there was a menacing silence around us for the time being. Everyone who was watching us till now, just for fun, now became totally terrified to see what just happened without much of their expectations. At least their wide eyes were saying so. And it was not just them who were completely shocked by my reaction but Markus too.

His wide eyes did not leave me even for a second, all this while.

And I had no intention to care for him right now, as I had a more important thing to do.

So, without waiting for another second I rushed to find Kazan, but little did I know that Markus would follow me too, as I heard him from behind,

“Summer, listen to me please.” Markus shouted from behind while he made sure to run faster only to catch up with me.

“I don't want to listen to you anymore, cause you did enough for me. Thanks, Markus, for making me lose the only good thing which happened to me, at last.” I could not help but yell at him, cause I was becoming more and more frustrated, thinking that I might lose Kazan forever.

I was willing to run anywhere and everywhere only if the path would lead me to my mate, Kazan. But the problem was that I did not know where he had gone. No matter how hard I tried to find him out, I just could not, as he was nowhere inside the school right at this instant.

Still, I had no intention to stop until I could find him, but something else forced me to halt with whatever I was doing, ever so desperately.

“Summer!

I am begging you. Please stop.

Listen to me.

If you want Kazan that badly and if you believe that he is the only one for you, then I will bring him to you, I promise.

But, before that, please let me explain. I did not want to ruin whatever you had with Kazan at all. Believe me. Snatching you from him was the last thing I wanted to do. Still, as if my heart just does not want to listen to me and kept dragging me towards you, even when I knew that I should have stopped myself way before.

You know,

I have never felt the strong bond what you two could feel for each other, but then again, it does not mean that I never wanted to feel the same. Cause I do, I desperately wanted to feel the love, always. And maybe that is why I just can not overlook the pull between me and you, so what it is not that effective for us, but still, I felt that it was enough for me.

But, I guess, I was so blind to realise that it would also hurt those whom I never wanted to hurt ever in my life.” Markus kept saying, while those helpless blue eyes kept bothering me all this while as if I was the reason for such pain in them.

I had no idea what to say or what to do. Not a single word came out of my lips, as I became completely trapped in-between the two, Kazan and Markus.

Even though I could be only Kazan's, still I just could not hurt Markus either. He is not a bad person, and I know that for sure, now.

“Summer, tell me just for once. It is only Kazan whom you want, right?” At last, Markus stopped with the very question which I wanted to answer him from the very beginning. But only if he was quick enough to ask me that a bit earlier, then none of us might have to see this day, ever.

“Yes.” I said.

But even before I could say any further, Markus declared,

“I will get him back for you. I will clear up the mess which I had created in the first place. So, do not worry Summer. I will make everything as good as before.” With that Markus left without looking back.

And I kept standing at the exact same place as before.

After school, I went straight to my work at the cafe with a lot of things in my mind to worry about, as I still did not get any news from Markus, neither could I see Kazan since then.

My heart kept shattering but still, I could do nothing.

And at last, to the least of my expectation, my phone rang tonight. I quickly picked up the phone without even
