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

I did not proceed with my own search about the truth anymore, but it does not mean that I had stopped being wary of him, cause I did not, not even for a second until now.

So, tonight I decided to start looking into the matter once again. And I knew from where I should start.

Yes, the pack office.

I was approaching alpha Benjamin's office room inside our packhouse ever so slowly and silently, and I believed that there must be some kind of clue of some kind of record about the past or anything odd about our recent alpha, which would definitely help me to go further and nearer to the truth about the ambiguous past.

At this late hours, alpha too must be sleeping like others, and which meant, for me, this was the best opportunity to do whatever I was intended to do from the very beginning.

At least I thought so.

But little did I knew that I was not at all prepared to witness the very thing which I was about to see just before my eyes in no time.

So, for now, I just kept approaching the office room without any idea about what was going on behind the closed door at this late hours, away from the eyes of everyone else in this pack.

And when I reached, at last, I knocked on the door twice, as I wanted to make sure that there was no one in the room right now, so that I do not have to get caught for such trespassing. But it appeared that no one was there behind the doors indeed to respond to my knock, so I pushed open the door slightly only to find that the light of the room was still on, ever so surprisingly.

I spent quite a lot of time standing in front of the door, hesitating about the fact that I should go inside or not. But even before I could make a decision about what to do next, a wicked sound of some kind of wooden furniture moving, came to my ears suddenly.

I became cautious in an instant as I made sure at the same time that I should stay hidden in the dark only to see what was happening in there.

Through the narrow passage of the open door, I saw the huge bookshelf moved to the side and a hidden door behind it opened mysteriously. And what I saw next, completely froze me right at my spot.

Cause I saw someone, coming out of the door with his clothes all covered in blood but strangely, he seemed not at all injured.

Then that must be someone else's blood. And most importantly who was he?

I could not see his face yet, so I kept standing at my spot only to wait for him to wipe out all the blood which was tainting his face too, ever so viciously. The sight was extremely horrifying, indeed.

And then, the very thing happened for which I was waiting. As he started to wipe the blood out of his face he started to become very familiar to me with each passing second and at last, I saw him very clearly.

Yes, he was no other than our alpha Benjamin.

My heart started to pound vigorously as a sudden chill ran down my spine, when I realised that he was about turn this way where I was standing right now. Yes, I panicked cause I had no time to run away.

But in no moment, a strong hand covered my mouth forcefully all of a sudden and dragged me back to some even darker place.

I could not scream, neither could I let myself free.

I did not know if I had seen anything which I should not have.

I did not know.

Episode 45

Kaith's P.O.V

I was forced to stand in the dark for quite some time as the hand which was covering my mouth tightly, never loosened its grip on me, not even for a little bit. I could not move from the spot where I was dragged to stand a while before, leaving me no other option but to watch and witness the sight before me tonight.

Though it was not that I could see everything from where I was brought to stand to hide amongst the darkness of the corridor but I could hear very clearly, the sound of each and every movement inside the office room.

And mostly, I did not need to see anything more, cause whatever I saw tonight was enough for me to get myself all together with the very brutal reality.

No, actually the thing was that I did not know the reality at all, and I can say that now for sure.

I needed to rethink each and everything, all over again. But I could do that only if I got to get out free from where I was trapped right at this moment, rather from the person who was now holding me back from making any kind of movements.

But something was telling me that though the hands were grasping me in this way, it meant no harm at all, instead, it was more like I was rescued from a great danger tonight.

Cause as I kept standing without being able to move even for a little bit, I started to hear footsteps which were now getting even more clearer with each passing second, declaring the very fact that alpha Benjamin was going to come out of the office in any time soon.

In this silent dark night, the mild footsteps also appeared loud and ever so vicious to my ears.

My heartbeats started to rise along with the increasing sound of the footsteps but the hands which kept covering my mouth did not let me make a single sound at all, not even the sound of our breathing was there in the air all around us.

And
