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

the distance, I could clearly see that they all were standing outside a closed door with their long faces. And seeing them like this, my heart started to sink slowly, as a sudden fear had already started to take over all my mind and my heard, menacingly.

I could not move my legs anymore to take another step ahead, and suddenly, I started to feel weak, when I knew that I supposed to stay strong.

I did not even realise when Markus passed by me and when exactly Kazan came to stand by my side, until I was pulled into the warm chest by those sturdy hands after a long day, and found myself completely engulfed by the most pleasant smell of my mate.

His embrace was what I needed the most right at this moment, as I could finally feel that it was now okay to break down, cause I knew that Kazan was there to keep holding me altogether.

“I was worried about you.” Kazan's warm breath brushed passed my ears, letting me fall into a daze, without any effort.

I stayed quiet.

And he asked again,

“Are you two alright?” One of his broad hand rubbed against my belly, while he kept holding me close with the other.

Episode 80

Summer's P.O.V

“How is Jenny?” I asked Kazan, hoping that I might get to hear something good.

I even prayed with all my heart that she gets well soon. Cause I did not want anything bad to happen to her and that too for me.

My heart sank, and my voice even started to break with the realisation of the horrifying incident that happened to her today.

I was even afraid to look at Kaith properly.

Cause, I knew very well that somehow I was one of the reasons for his such kind of miserable state right at this moment.

Yes, I failed to protect his mate well, when he was always there to protect me at any cost, leaving his mate alone. And only that was why, today she got harmed in the most pathetic way, that I could not even imagine.

So, how can I now free myself from the guilt, when I am totally aware that it was me who pushed Jenny in such danger, indirectly or not?

The only thing I wanted right now is to see Jenny all recovered and in a healthy condition, just like before.

I really wished that to happen, even if it takes some kind of miracle or anything, would do.

In fact, I needed her to be fine.

I did not know when the tears already started to flood into my eyes, until I felt the hot streams flowing down, making my cheeks wet.

I did not realise that I was shivering too.

Kazan might have noticed too that I was really frightened and was way more concerned about Jenny right now, than myself, cause I did not even bother to answer him back when he asked about me and my pup, just a while ago.

Instead, I wanted to get some news about Jenny.

So, he did not ask me any further as well, seeing that it will be all useless, when I was the least bothered about my own condition when I have some even more important person to worry about.

“She has been treated already, but due to the sedatives, she is still asleep.” Kazan's words did magic to my ears, and all of a sudden I had finally started to see some light of hope, that I kept losing bit by bit until now. But not anymore, cause whatever Kazan said ensured me enough for the time being that she will be fine, in time.

“That means, we got to save her, right? She will be fine, isn't it Kazan? Tell me. Just tell me that Jenny will be okay, just like how she was before. Please, Kazan.” I kept saying ever so desperately, as I was becoming greedy enough to hear some more good things right now. As if, whatever Kazan just said was not at all enough for me to ease my heart.

At this moment, I did not stop my tears from falling down, caring least that others around us will definitely see that I was crying just like a baby. No, I did not care about anything at this moment.

I just Kept grabbing Kazan's shirt tightly into my fists and let all the tears out.

And, Kazan did not stop me either.

But strangely, he was stiff for some reason that I did not know yet.

In the next moment, he took both of my cheeks gently in-between his palms and made me look up at him, while he kept wiping out my tears from my cheeks with his thumbs as I did not bother to stop crying, not even for the slightest second.

“Listen to me carefully. You need to stay strong. If not for Jenny, then for Kaith at least, for now. Your stupid friend really needs you in this situation. Okay? Do you understand?” Kazan said, but I did not know why I saw something else in those eyes. As if they had more things to say to me, but was afraid if I could take it or not.

“Why are you saying that? Of course, I will look after both Kaith and Jenny even if you did not tell me to do so. They are my friends. But what else is there? Kazan? What else do you have to tell me? I want to k ow right now.” I asked. My eyes widened without much of my consciousness, seeing that Kazan was behaving in a strange way with his ambiguous words.

But, Kazan did not answer me right away, and kept looking deep into my eyes. As if they were trying to figure out if it was okay to let me know or not all of a sudden.

And there was no
