Love Grows In The Dark Eli Lowe (love story novels in english TXT) 📖

“Get me her number.” I could not think of anything else as I was already feeling helpless. Markus was still unconscious and except Adrian and Summer, the one whom he had accused, there was no one to tell what happened.

I needed to see her.

She better says something or I would never forget what she did neither would I let her forget.

****end of flashback****

Her furious strikes kept coming, filling the air with the piercing metallic sounds of our swords which were crashing together in order to cut each other through only to bleed mercilessly.

The Summer, who was now fighting against me felt completely different. She seemed not the real her anymore, rather I could see myself in her. She seemed just like my replica cause she was bearing a face which was completely unreadable, and without any remorse for anything at all.

But something changed in me without my knowledge. I could not say what it was actually as I did not know either. The whole time I kept feeling as if I was doing something wrong, very wrong. As if my mind was trying to tell me something which I just could not understand yet. But I know how each time my blade kissed her to cut her flesh, I was the one who kept feeling the pain instead, while she seemed not bothered at all.

Every time I saw her bleed my heart denied to beat further while rage kept manipulating my mind, depriving me of each and every chances to realise what was happening.

Or what I was doing without my knowledge.

Episode 24

Kaith's P.O.V

Where the hell he could be hiding right now?

It was the only thing that I kept thinking since I rushed out of the packhouse early in the morning only to take that rat out of its hole as soon as possible.

Yes, I was looking for Adrian almost everywhere like some crazy. Because if I could not find him out in time, something bad would definitely happen and everything would be gone out of our hands even before I could do anything. And I just could not let that happen, not to Summer at least, who did not even do anything wrong.

Yes, I believed her words without a single doubt when she told me everything about what happened to her recently and even last night, cause she was always the most truthful person I have ever known. Even though she was always accused of the incident that she never caused and ended up to be the most hated one, I knew her and believed that she could never do such a thing. And even now, the same thing was going to happen to her once more, and I won't stand back to watch her suffer again this time. Never.

I knew.

I knew exactly something like this would be happening right at the moment when she asked me not to drag the incident further which would cause some massive chaos. I knew, even if we stay quiet, the chaos was going to occur either way, but it would definitely prey the one and only Summer, who did not do anything at all, let alone the fact that she could have been in the place of Markus, because of the real traitor Adrian.

And most of all, even if she would try to tell the truth crying out to everyone, I could even bet that no one was going to believe a single word of her. So, Summer was not wrong either with her decision to stay quiet. But how could I do the same when my best friend's allegiance was questioned.

Once I could do nothing when she was questioned like the same way a few years ago, but not today.

I kept speeding up the wheels as much as possible, so that I could hunt Adrian down from wherever he was hiding, no matter if I had to turn the entire town upside down in order to search each and every corner minutely. It was just that I did not have much time to waste.

****flashback****

I just could not sleep properly, last night, as I was so much worried thinking about the consequences that she might have to face due to the incident that happened between the three, Adrian, Markus and Summer. And something inside me was telling me strongly that she was going to be blamed this time as well, while no one was going to stand as the witness of the incident so that she could prove her innocence. Though it was not at all her fault, I was afraid that she might end up becoming the victim this time too. I was indeed afraid that she might be charged for other's misdeed.

The fate was going to play unfair to her once again and I was scared for my best friend.

I had decided to visit her place as soon as the night ends. I wanted to make sure if she arrived safely or not, after meeting her mate last night. There was a lot of possibilities I wanted to discuss with her, for which both of us must prepare ourselves to deal with rationally.

But little did I know that I was way too late than I could have ever imagined.

The sky lit up announcing the arrival of another morning and with that, the morning sun declared the fact that it was time already to go and check on Summer, at last.

No, I did not want to waste any second, so I jumped out of my bed in no time and went straight to the bathroom to wash myself up before I leave the packhouse and go to Summer's place. Just like I said, I was all ready in just a few minutes and was already on my way out.

And just when I step
