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

time? Strange right? What could have changed within such a short time? I kept wondering. And the funniest thing was, everything started to seem beautiful to me without any reason, like this cold breeze at night, the old buildings, the long dark road, and even the not so beautiful trees also seemed beautiful to me. Indeed funny. And, I am not drunk, for your kind information. “Her name is Jennifer, by the way.” Sam's voice fell on my ears and I was feeling all goofy from inside all of a sudden, strangely. As if some oblivion was being written for me to stay in that moment. As if someone had spilt the rum in the air, making me drunk in some unfamiliar thoughts. Is it the first stage of insanity? Don't tell me yes! I couldn't even realize when we got back home nor how I came back to my room and now lying on the bed. I even forgot to confront Sam for what she did tonight. The only thing which filled my mind was only a question. Could she be my mate? But then, why couldn't I get her smell, or why couldn't I feel my wolf who should have confirmed my doubts? Isn't she of her age yet? So many questions kept coming and going in my mind, for which I had no answer. So, I already knew that my anxiety was not going to get any better either. For once I even thought of asking Sam about all those tangled thoughts of mine, but then again I remembered that she is just not into this kind of things. Whenever I have asked her about her feelings for mates, every time she answered with her typical words, “It's only you at the end. Finding and being accepted by mates is only luck, so make yourself strong enough that you don't have to depend on any luck.” I often wondered what she would do if she finds her mate unexpectedly after her first shift, when she not at all believes in waiting or finding her mate. I must say, I am quite worried about her, and obviously, I always want the best for her, but how to decide what is good for her or not when she is not even ready to give a chance. I won't wrong her though, cause she has enough reasons to act like such. But still. I know her the most. Even when she acts all strong and steady, she is soft and fragile from inside. And that's why she deserves to be loved. She needs her mate the most, to bring her out of her own dark world. I wondered who her mate could be. As there is not much time left from her first shift, after which she could find her mate, or else she could be founded. In the middle of the night, unnecessary thoughts occupied my mind, taking away all the peace that I used to have before, while announcing the fact that sleep was not going to come any time soon. Tsk. I went straight to the kitchen to have some late-night snacks to stop my non-stop growling stomach. Yes, I forgot to have dinner, only because I was worried that Sam didn't come back home. “I should make something, instead.” I said to myself, as I realized that it was not only me who didn't do dinner tonight. So, I grabbed two packets of instant noodles, after putting the water up for boiling, and in no time... The incredible creation of Kaith the great was lying before my eyes. Yeah yeah I know, I am a great cook. “Sam!!! If you are up then come have a late-night dinner. I made noodles for us.” Yes, I stressed on the last words. But to my surprise, she didn't answer. Is she already asleep? No, she can't be, cause if so, that would be a very very rare case. You know, she can't sleep easily, and as far as I know, she mostly sleeps before dawn only to wake up in a few hours to start the day. “Sam!!! I know you are not sleeping, and I won't yell st you anymore. So come out now. Or I will eat the noodles all by myself.” I believed she would definitely come out rushing as soon as I said the words. But, no. She didn't. And it was the exact moment when I felt something was definitely wrong, as suspicions had already started to jolt in my mind. Moments passed but still, she didn't come out, so I stood up to go and see what the most important thing in the world she was doing. “Sam???” I knocked on her door first, hoping that she might answer this time. Again my assumptions failed miserably. I was left with no reason not to barge into her room, so I pushed open the door widely, only to widen my eyes in utter shock. What the fuck? Where is she? Yes, I was standing at her room but everything before my eyes were lying cold as it was before, while Sam was nowhere to be seen. Ughh.... Where could she go now? If no one, I would definitely kill her one day. Fuck.

Episode 10

Summer's P.O.V

No, I could not sleep. Once again.

Pinching my nose bridge due to a mild headache, I sat up on the bed and the first thing that my eyes looked for, was the dark vastness beyond the glass window of my room which was compelling me to go out and unite as a part of the emptiness of this cold night.

And so did I.

A sudden cold breeze rushed in my room just when I slid the window up only to accept the invitation of the void out there. No, the chilled wind could not freeze my already frozen heart further, as I started to climb up to the roof slowly.
