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

doubt that Kazan's such behaviour was indeed freaking me out.

I got scared once again, all of sudden.

The ray of hope that I saw just a while ago, seemed like it had already started to fade away without my will.

I became impatient.

“Did you not tell me just now, that she was treated and will be fine when she wakes up? Then what is it now?” I asked in an instant, seeing that Kazan did not answer me earlier.

“Yes, she will be fine when she wakes up. But I am afraid, something is indeed going to be changed about her, which doctor could do nothing at any cost, cause her injury was indeed severe.” Kazan informed, keeping his gaze fixed on me.

As if my heart stopped beating, for the time being, hearing what just Kazan said.

“What is it?” I could not ask more except just one question, and waited to hear something bad at any moment, no matter how hard it started to become for me.

“The doctor, who did the surgery on Jenny, said that the cut on her throat was deep and it had already affected the tissues around the area. As Jenny was brought just in time, they managed to save her from dying, by preventing the blood from entering the airway. But he said that her vocal cord was badly damaged, and they could not do anything about it.

So, that means....” After informing all these, Kazan stopped at the last sentence, as he was hesitating to finish the rest.

Tremendous pain had already started to fill my heart, that it might have started to reflect in my eyes as well, making me completely unable to hide it, neither did I care to do so. And Kazan was feeling no different either right at that moment, as I could clearly see how hard he was struggling to finish his words.

“That means?” Even though I was extremely afraid and was already broken from inside, I wanted to hear all that he had to say.

Kazan took a deep breath in and said,

“That means, she will become mute from now on.” Finally, he said it. And I had to hear it, without being able to do anything to help her out.

I slid down to sit on the ground, as my mind my body and every single thing had finally stopped working.

I felt that, even though I could finally turn the wheel of destiny for me by exposing Benjamin, I was still helpless and miserable as ever.

Even though I was unfortunate before, it was even better than this, cause then I was the only one prey in the hands of fate.

But now, how can I accept, seeing that in order to make my life easy and get back the rights that I once had lost, I dragged all those down in the deep dark pit with me, whom I adore with all my life.

I felt like I have really lost this time.

And for that, I had to pay a huge penalty.

“Summer. I know what are you feeling right now but you can see it this way that Jenny will be alive and will be with us forever, even when she will never be able to talk anymore. Think for once, if we could not get to save her, what Kaith would do?

At least, Kaith did not have to lose his mate. They will be fine. Trust me.

Everything will be okay.

We just need some time to accept the reality.

So, be strong. Could you do that for your friends, Summer?” Kazan kept trying his best to make me understand and kept coaxing me when I was becoming really vulnerable.

“Yes. I can.” Even when I could not stop my tears, I knew that whatever Kazan just said was the best thing I could do now.

He is right.

I stood up from the floor in an instant and wiped my tears right away.

“Where is Kaith?” I asked at last, as I did not see him anywhere since when we had arrived at the pack hospital.

“He went in to stay by Jenny's side.” Kazan informed.

“But he did not shift back yet. Would he not make trouble for her, when he is still this huge with his wolf body?” I asked, being absolutely concerned.

“I know. But do not worry. She is his mate. And he knows exactly how to look after him, at least now when he is finally in his stable mind. Let them be with each other for now.” Kazan assured and pulled me into his warm embrace once again.

“And let me take care of you two.” He uttered right away.

“Does Kaith know that she... she will not be able to...” I could not even dare finish my words, as I kept stuttering out of anxiety.

“Yes. He knows.” Kazan understood what I was trying to say and answered without waiting for me to complete my words.

“Okay, that is enough for now. Tell me, did you eat anything or do you want to starve both my mate and my pup?” Kazan asked once again, pulling me out of his hug.

“No. I do not want to eat anything. I do not feel like eating at all.” I replied as I had no mood to think about myself first.

“But you have to. Wait right here. I am coming in a while. Okay?” Kazan said and stormed out of my sight, without letting me say another word.

I sat down on the chair after that, as my legs started to betray me already.

I was feeling weak for no reason.

Even so, I just could not be at ease anyhow.

I looked around the place from my seat and noticed that Jacob, Markus and Jeremy we're still there.

It seemed that the father and the son had finally got time to get united at last.

Even in
