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

But strangely, even after all this, he was still alive.

His breathings were shallow but it was there for sure, declaring the fact that he had much worse things to endure in the coming time.

Seeing him like this, I really felt that the table has finally turned indeed.

Cause being alive, Benjamin turns to be an unfortunate one while fate chose to stay by our side this time making us the fortunate ones without any doubt.

So, without wasting any more time, I stepped aside, leaving Benjamin to lie on the ground unattended without any worry at all, cause I was ensured enough that he was in no condition to lift his one little finger, even if no one were around to stop him. Even when Benjamin could still see the horror of whatever was waiting for him, he could do nothing. Even when he might have felt the urgency to get up and run for his life once again, he himself knew that there was no way left for him to do so, as I made sure of the fact.

So, Benjamin's ripped and tattered body kept lying on the ground at our mercy, but we were not at all intended to go easy on him. At least I did not, and never will be. Cause even when I was done with him for today, I still want him to stay alive, so that he can be tortured even more for what he did to all of us, making us completely miserable.

I stepped back, giving Kaith way to go near the murderer Benjamin, finally, for which he was waiting for long.

His terrifying repetitive growls were making the rumble with its intensity, declaring the fact that how enraged he was right at that moment, when he had at last found the one who dared to kill her mate.

All of a sudden, all the wolves howled all together as if they all were supporting Kaith in whatever he was intending to do with Benjamin to make him pay for his sins.

But he was already shredded. What worse he could do now, I wondered.

Kaith might have thought that too, as he did something else, which I had never expected ever, without any doubt, neither could anyone think of, either.

Cause he did not pounce on him, he did not even rip his body apart, instead, he grasped him by one of his hands with his jaw, tightly, so that Benjamin could not let himself free out of Kaith's hold anyhow and started running with a tremendous pace.

It did not take much time for me anymore to realise what exactly he was going to do with that brute.

Cause I already knew he was intending to do much worse to him. I have never imagined that one day I would have to see Kaith's brutality this way, when no pain, no screams could shake his heart any further, turning him into a ruthless one, fully.

As if Kaith had really turned into the beast that he was never before.

Seeing, Kaith going away with Benjamin, dragging his already ripped and tattered body on the rough and uneven surface of the road with no intention to stop any time soon, the rest of the wolves decide to follow him closely from behind and I was determined to do the same.

As we all kept running forward on the never-ending road, the trail of Benjamin's blood that Kaith made sure to leave behind, was staining the street without any mercy.

But Kaith did not let him loose at all, as he was really mad and was in no sane mind to allow him any kind of pity.

As Kaith kept running as fast as he could with all his strength, Benjamin's body had already started to tear apart bit by bit as it was hitting the hard ground continuously without a stop.

But the pathetic thing was, Benjamin could not even scream due to the utmost pain he was feeling right at that moment.

The ragged clothes that were still stuck with his body due to the dried up blood, started to fall off with each passing second, as the dried up blood was once again being replaced by the fresh blood, that was oozing out from all the wounds and cuts on his body.

In no time, it was now all his bare skin which started to be dragged on the dusty road, but Kaith cared the least to stop himself, as he kept on running.

In front of our eyes, his skin soon began to scrape against the rough surface of the road bit by bit. And when the dust started to come into the contact with his fresh wounds and bloody flesh, it went beyond tolerance for Benjamin, as he could not help but make some kind of inhuman noise due to the burning sensation on his body.

He could not even cry for mercy, and just kept making the deathly noises, filling the whole surrounding with terror, declaring the fact that how horrible was that sight to watch for all of us.

His skin soon started to fall off only to be left pasted on the road behind, along with his blood, while the flesh underneath had already begun to get open, turning him into nothing but some bloody meat completely.

No, Kaith did not stop even after this.

As if he was skinning him alive, only to make him feel the burn all over his flesh, just in the same way one scalds and skins the meat to prepare for a great feast.

It seemed that Kaith was indeed looking forward to throw us a great meal for tonight.

Even when the vicious scene of getting Benjamin skinned alive in front of all our eyes was becoming hard to watch, I was feeling a weird kind of satisfaction, ever so strangely.

I
