Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (ebook offline txt) 📗

Yes, earlier when I ran out of Kazan's cabin in a hurry, Kaith informed me all about what happened last night and also what kind of impact it left on others while I was still unconscious.

Even though it was quite obvious, but still I became a bit worried when I heard that Benjamin was going all crazy, realising that his men just disappeared in the thin air over one single night, leaving not a single trace behind about there whereabouts.

If the disappearance of his men was enough to make him this much furious, then I was really concerned, thinking what would he do if he gets to know that they were all killed and that too by the four of us. And most of all I was also there to stand against his army whom he had sent to kill Kazan, so that I could save him rather than what I had assured him about what exactly I would do with Kazan and his pack.

Yes, if he gets to know all this or even if he gets the slightest bit of a hint, all my plans might go all in vain. And I just could not afford to do that.

And so, when Kaith told me that Benjamin was looking for me like crazy, I got scared once again, thinking that what would happen next if he accidentally ends up going to my house in order to find me.

Cause if he decides to give a visit to my place, he would certainly find Jacob who was now staying at my house. And if that happens, there will be nothing left for me to come up with in order to take the revenge for all the losses that he had caused me since a really long time.

No, Jacob must not get caught in Benjamin's hands once again and that too from nowhere but my house only. That just can not happen. Not now...when we are already this close.

So, that was why, I asked Kaith to take him some other place which will be safe for him to hide for the time being, until it is time for Jacob to come forth.

But it was just that we just could not afford to keep him at our pack anymore, let alone the fact that I can not even think of keeping Jacob at my place or Kaith's, cause it would be really foolish thing to do in such a critical moment.

And finding us in a really difficult situation, Jenny, who was listening to our conversation carefully till now without any kind of interruption, offered her help all of a sudden. Yes, she asked us to take Jacob to her place which was not at all a bad idea though, cause if Kaith takes Jacob at Jenny's place, it would be absolutely impossible for Benjamin to even find out what exactly was happening behind his back, when Jenny does not belong to our Lunar High pack at all.

But also, the fact that it might endanger Jenny at the same time, did not lessen my worries at all, not even for a little bit. Even though I was absolutely reluctant to involve Jenny in my mess, I had no other choices except the only idea that seemed good to us for now.

And we just could not afford to waste any further time to come up with yet another better plan than this one. So, I had to agree at last.

Without waiting for any more time, Kaith and Jenny rushed to my place to do whatever I had asked them to do while I was left alone once again to face the one whom I despise the most.

Cause, even though my hands were itching to rip the head off from Benjamin's body, I needed to hold myself together only to wait for the right time. So, I headed straight towards the pack-house, preparing myself to experience something terrible already.

And I was not wrong at all.

Anyway, finding that everything was going according to my plan, I thought that it would be better if I make a call to check on all of them, cause I must not deny the fact that I was really worried right now.

So, without thinking much, I took out my phone and called Kaith, expecting that he would pick up my call at any time soon.

But no.

Nothing as such happened.

The phone kept ringing, but there was no one on the other side to pick up the call, and thus the call ended soon after quite a few rings.

What the hell just happened?

My heart skipped a beat in some kind of weird feelings or it might be my fears as well, which freaked me out without any doubt.

I dialled his number once again, hoping that he might answer this time but it seemed that nothing like such was meant to happen now.

What should I do?

What if they all got caught? What if something bad had happened to them all, about which I was worried the most since the very morning?

I just could not think of any way out to find what exactly was going on. So, again I lifted up my phone but this time I called Jenny, in case she picks up.

And she did.

“Where are you all? Are you fine? I was trying to call Kaith but he did not pick up my call, Jenny. So, tell me...” As soon as she picked up the call, I kept asking her questions all at once without bothering to let go of the breath that I was holding in till now, without much of my awareness.

I did not even realise, how in such a small span of time, little beads of sweats had already started to come up on my forehead as well due to the sudden anxiety that engulfed my mind just
