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

come here. And for that Kaith have to go as fast as he could to bring them here.

Then why is he not moving?

If he keeps doing this, I might have to actually have to fight with Kazan to buy some more time, which I did not want to do at all.

Seeing that the situation is not turning in any better direction, my heart-beat kept increasing with each passing second.

Right at this moment, Benjamin's face seemed like some serpent, who did not even feel any shame to bait his niece only to save himself first.

The vicious smirk started to appear on his face once again, declaring the fact that he feels more than satisfied to see me standing against my own mate, who would never dare to harm me, at any cost.

But, he knows nothing.

He was proving himself nothing but a big fool as he had absolutely no idea what was going to happen with him next.

While I was still trying to figure out how I was going to convince Kaith that I will be safe and he needs to hurry before it is too late, Kazan moved to grab Benjamin, in a flash of a second, just before my eyes.

Kaith's desperate howl shook the entire place, making me cautious all of a sudden.

Or was he doing something else?

I did not know.

But the thing I knew that, I had no other options left except meddling in only to stop Kazan from ruining my plan.

“No, I have nothing to do with her, you prick. I want you to answer me first.” Kazan roared ferociously and stepped forward to reach Benjamin's neck with his bare hands so that he could strangle him to death. But, it was not time yet, for his miseries.

Taking the swords from the hand of one of the warriors of our Lunar High pack, I stepped in-between Benjamin and Kazan, pointing the vicious tip of my blade at Kazan, but only to threaten him to stop moving ahead, even for a little bit.

“Move.” Kazan's frustrated growl could not make me dodge from my place as I kept holding my sword up while I threw the other one at Kazan for him to grab, so that he could fight me being equally equipped.

“No.” That was what I said, without bothering to explain myself right at this moment.

Seeing both of us standing against each other, Benjamin gave out the cruellest laughter which indeed resonated all over the surrounding ever so menacingly.

“Where is He?” Turning his gaze away from me, Kazan screamed at Benjamin, with all his might. And it did not take much time for me to realise whom he was talking about.

“He? Who is he?” Benjamin still acted all innocent, even when he was very aware of Kazan's words. The smirk which was there a while ago on his face, now vanished completely, leaving him only to be entangled with tremendous fear, seeing himself already at the verge of being exposed before everyone. It was just that he had no nerve to say anything about him right now as I had already moved the one from Benjamin's vicious claws without leaving any clue behind.

“You know very well what I am talking about. Don't you? You really know how to act all innocent when you are the exact opposite. This mask of your fake innocence that you always use to hide your sinful face behind, is not going to last long, as I will make sure of that.

But for now, I want Jacob back, safe and sound, or else I can promise you that none of you will stay alive to live for another day.” Kazan's horrifying growl shook Benjamin and no one failed to see how the so-called alpha of our Lunar High was turning pale with each passing second.

But the show just started, as there were so many things for him to face yet.

Summer's P.O.V

****flashback continues****

“Why are you still standing. Did you not tell me that you will take care of him along with his pack way before, so that I would never have to get troubled with such a situation like this? Then what the hell is he doing here right now? Why did you do nothing when I had clearly told you to demolish the entire pack and to do so, I even allowed you to take my army. Then can you tell me what exactly is bothering you from cutting down the head from his body now?

Or is it right, that you have already changed your mind?” Benjamin's words came out of his throat as if he was exhaling fire.

What else was now left for him to do when he could already see himself at the verge of being exposed and that too before everyone. He might have also felt that the mask that he always used to wear was going to be ripped down at any time soon, if he does not do anything fast. And that was why he chose to push me forward to face the consequences alone, so that he could use me as a shield for his own sake.

How more selfish he was going to prove himself?

Never mind.

Cause I wanted to let him feel for the last time that he still had chances to save himself, even though nothing was going to happen like that.

Even though Kaith's suppressed growl did not reach anyone's ear but I was very aware that he was still on guard and his anxiety even increased after what just Benjamin said maliciously. It looked like he was ready to pounce on his own alpha if he dares to say further after all that he did to us.

“Do not worry. I am not going to disappoint you, my dear uncle, Benjamin.” I replied, putting a devilish smirk on
