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

him over to me to get satisfied with my turn with him, as much as I want.

And as soon as he came to my hand, I did not beat him up this time. Instead, I made him sit on the ground comfortably, as I was planning to do something else to make him talk.

Cause when we want him to answer.

He must answer.

He was in no such state to stay quiet as per his own wish.

“You do not want to answer, right? Okay, you do not have to.” I said, keeping myself as calm as possible, but only of the span of a second.

I took out the dagger from my pocket in the next moment, without wasting any more time.

Yes, it was the very same one with which he had cut Jenny's neck yesterday, without any mercy.

And I had collected it, cause I knew that I had to use it for something good. As in, something, pretty much like at this moment.

I sneered, just like a devil, before I finally began.

With the sharp tip of the dagger, I pierced the flesh underneath his nails on his fingers and twisted it until the moment the deathly screams of Benjamin came to my ears to ease me for a bit.

Blood started to flow like a river as his bones and flesh got separated miserably, leaving him the pain which might have felt like death, but he did not die.

Rather, I was not going to let him die this soon.

“Are you feeling like you can answer us now? Or do you want me to go on?” I asked viciously, getting close to him only to show him my huge grin, cause his screams and his pain indeed satisfied me for the time being.

Seeing, that he was not in any condition to say a word, I was about to proceed with my little act of confrontation, just when he spoke out in his broken voice.

“N-No. Stop. I will say.” Benjamin said, even when his words were nowhere near clear and easily understandable.

“We are all ears, then.” I uttered, and with that, I lifted up his body from the floor and threw him to fall in a corner of the prison cell, hitting the ground again, ever so brutally.

“I-I used to love her back then when we were young, and she was my only friend. And when I had finally gathered enough courage to confess to her, she chose her mate over me, even when I was the one who was always by her side, in good and bad.

She never considered my feelings even for once when she chose to marry her mate before my eyes, even if it means by stumping on my heart. She never cared.

Not even for a little bit.

But, I tried to forget her.

I left the town for some years too.

I tried to keep up with the pain that she had left me with, to suffer alone, remembering how she acted all cruel to me.

And just when I thought that I was finally able to forget her after a few years, I decided to come back as I too needed to take the powers in my hand which I deserved. But, I was a fool to believe that she would let me live freely, after years. Cause she did not.

Within days... Within just a few days when I had arrived back at my pack to start new, I saw her.

She was showing off how happy she was with her mate and her pups.

I could not believe that she had pups already.

And seeing her happy, I just could not reject the enticement to snatch some of their happiness for me as well. After all, it was me who loved her first.

But that bitch, shoved me out of her happy life once again, without feeling any mercy for me.

So, I took the revenge that day.

I did what felt good to me. Yes, that day, I had her finally, and fulfilled a dream from a long time.

Yes, I even imagined her with me for so many years, then how could I have let her go that easily when she was in my hands at last?

I needed to quench my thirst, badly.

But I had never thought that her so-called mate would come to her rescue to stop me, when I, at last, got the opportunity to have her for just once, while he got his way with her for all those years.

How selfish he was.

I once let him take my love away from me, then why could not he give me this one time?

I had to kill him both.

Yes, I had to.

And I did exactly what I felt right.

I let all my grudges out on them at last, and I was happy at last, after years.

Did you hear that?

After years.

So, I do not regret it.” Benjamin said in his broken voice while he was still struggling to breathe properly. He even dared to sneer at us, justifying the horrible crime that he had committed in the past.

Now I got to know how badly sick he was, since the beginning.

It was very clear why someone like mom, who never let anyone retreat empty-handed whoever came to her for help, and who was known for her kindness as well, treated a friend in the worst possible way.

Cause, Benjamin deserved to be treated so, not just by mom but by everyone else in his entire life.

And just because mom was considerate enough not to banish someone like Benjamin who was once familiar to her, she had to pay such prices, which would never be acceptable, at any cost.

Due to this, not only mom and dad had to suffer, but we did too. For years after years.

That too for what?

Only because
