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

I was still worried about a few things. Rather I was afraid to tell her everything even when I was feeling like she is the only one who has all the right to know each of the truth that I kept buried deep inside my heart for years.

The dilemma did not let me tell her any such thing at all which would lead her to utter danger, even though the words kept coming to my mouth all night, only for me to gulp down my throat.

Summer lifted up her hands to hold my face in-between her palms just when her soft lips touched my forehead, letting me free of all the distress for this moment. Her kiss worked just like magic to me.

And I could not hold myself back from the enticement of those alluring lips of my mate anymore and kissed her right away.

I just could not tell in just words how much I love her, how much I admire her...not just now when I know that she is my mate but always. I admired her always.

A few moments passed and we stayed entangled with each other like this while she kept caressing me with all the love and warmth of her heart which I have always wanted.

I knew that her life was never that easy, nor was mine. But together we could be happy and I believed in us.

“How old were you when your parents died.” She asked in a low voice, while her hand was busy to run her fingers through my hair and I was loving what she was doing.

“I don't really remember. But I guess, we were about seven or eight years old when they died.” I said and became quiet again only to feel her at this moment. But it seemed that she had more things to ask, and I had no reason not to answer her unless it gets to the point which I can never cross no matter how much I want.

“And since then you grew up all alone, without anyone to get you through all the difficult times of your life?” Summer asked but it seemed that she was more hurt to feel the pain for me. But, I did not want her to feel miserable even not for a little bit and that too for me.

“No, I was not all alone, Summer. Jacob and his mate were there to look after me like their own child. And I was grateful to have such persons in my life without any doubt.” I tried to assure her even though I felt a bit happy somehow, seeing that there is someone now who could be even worried about me.

“Jacob? Your dad's beta?” She enquired keeping her anxious eyes on me.

“Yes, Jeremy's father. You know Jeremy right? My beta?” I asked as I did not know if she was getting whatever I was saying or not.

“Yes. I know him. But you said... that... you were grateful...why?... Kazan? Where is Jacob?” Her words made it very clear to me that she was no doubt becoming anxious to find out the reason behind whatever I had said to her.

“He was gone.” I said.

“What do you mean?” Summer asked as her eyes became wide, conveying the fact that she was indeed afraid to hear something horrible in no time.

“I mean he went missing, just like that a few years later. Back then, I was fourteen my be, and no matter how hard I tried to search him out from wherever he was gone, I just could not find any trace of him. I guess I was still not old enough to do everything as the alpha of my pack. But not now. I did not stop any of my attempts to look for him until today. Cause I know he is still out there somewhere waiting for me to get him back, which I will definitely, one day.” I said her all what I could, at least for now. And Summer did not ask further either. She just kept holding me close to her heart all night and I did not know when I fell asleep without a single effort tonight.

Keeping my eyes still closed, I stretched my arms, attempting to pull Summer even closer to me to get more of her warmth but I just could not.

I woke up in the morning with a sudden panic just when I realised that the other side of the bed was already cold as my hands could find no one beside me, quite unexpectedly.

I was about to jolt up on the bed so that I could rush to look for her, but something strange stopped me from doing so.

A few soft rustling sounds caught into my ears, making me all aware of the fact that she was still here as the presence of her intoxicating smell in the air did not let me think otherwise.

I could not hold myself back from turning around ever so quietly, making myself careful enough not to let her know that I woke up already.

And there she was.

I saw that my mate, Summer was running all around my room only in just one piece of clothing. My perfectly fitted t-shirt became an oversized one on her body which left her perfectly toned legs bare for me to watch as much as I wish.

The bright sunlight came into my room after quite a while, making the morning even more beautiful for me than ever. I found the curtains of my windows open after long while the room seemed in its best shape ever.

The mess in my room was now gone and every little thing which I never realised was in the room, appeared beautiful in my eyes and the most beautiful among them which took my breath away was my mate, my Summer.
