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

it was sure that he might have not wanted to make me feel alone when I wake up.

And I did not even have to guess who it could be.

Cause I was very much sure now.

Yes, it was Kazan.

He was sitting beside my bed with his head down while his hands were holding mine with no intention to loosen its tight grip even when he fell asleep out of tiredness due to all the hard work he had to do since yesterday for the ceremony. And even after the ceremony, I know how he had to go through all the troubles because of me. I gave him a real hard time, for sure.

But, why was he here with me?

Was he not supposed to be his newly born pup? Was he not the one who was waiting for this day ever so eagerly? Then what was he doing here?

I kept thinking about so many things out of the blue without realising that I was already staring at his sleeping face for such a long time. And I did not know what came to my mind at all, that I moved my other hand to run my fingers through his soft hairs which were already in some kind of mess an was left without any care.

At this moment, I could not help but wonder if I have ever spared any time to observe his unique features which were indeed admirable and were enough to arouse me while warming my heart at the same time.

Sure enough, we had wasted so much time to fight with each other, before.

But what now?

When I have fallen for him once again?

By then, my mind, my heart, my soul had already started to fill with the one and only name of my mate... Kazan, ... and I did not even realise when I had started to touch each and every single inch of his face with the tip of my fingers.

As if, I just could not get enough of him only by looking, as if my hands were compelled to touch him already to feel his warm skin. And his soft breaths were like the reason of the sensations that I already started to have all over my body for some unknown reason.

All of a sudden, I wanted to kiss him, I did not know why.

But little did I know that even before I could accomplish my little plan, Kazan will open his eyes in no time, as I had totally forgotten about the fact that my hand kept touching his warm skin which was enough to wake him up from his nap, without any effort.

I was caught.

I was caught red-handed by my mate, when I was about to go for the kiss.

His ocean blue eyes stared deep into mine with all the warmth in his heart, while I could not hide my flustered face any more from his sight, which was already turned red due to the sudden embarrassment.

“H..Hi.” I greeted Kazan and moved my face away from him in an instant, so that I could hide away my intentions of attacking his lips while he was asleep, and also to come up with something else in my mind only to cover up the sudden awkwardness in this kind of situation.

“Who allowed you to stop?” His deep voice made me shiver while my cheeks became even more flustered with whatever Kazan just said.

“W...what? I was not doing anything at all.” I lied awkwardly as I just did not want myself to get exposed, but little did I know that it was never going to happen when Kazan was there to watch every single of my moves.

“Right. You were not doing anything. But why? Why were you not doing anything when you should? You have every right to. And...

And, sometimes I too want to get kisses from you.” His voice became low at the last as if he was only whispering to himself or was he trying to hide his wishes, even when he very much wanted to fulfil each one of them.

“Eh???” Without being able to properly hear what Kazan just said, I got confused thinking if he said exactly what I thought, or was it something else.

But even before I could ask him, he stood up from the chair and jumped in the bed to lie down together beside me, even when the bed was small for us two.

“I want a kiss.” He demanded like a child, holding me tightly in between his sturdy arms, and I was caged into his chest with no way to escape from him any more.

“We have a son now. Why are you acting like a child when you should behave like a father? And also who is going to consider you as the alpha of your pack when you act in such a childish way, Kazan?” I asked seeing that Kazan had no intention to let me go this time.

“I am aware of everything else. But I am like this with you only. Cause you are my Summer with whom I do not need to worry about the fact that I must stay as the strong and frightening alpha that I am, like every other time. And do not ever try to make me forget about the kiss with all these excuses.

I am waiting.

Kiss me, mate.” Kazan whispered into my ears, letting his warm breaths torture me to the point where I lose my mind absolutely, and end up giving myself to him at last.

And it happened, exactly what he intended.

Cause I could not hold myself back any longer, when his hands were already touching me clumsily, making it hard for me to avoid giving in to his pull.

I licked my lips unconsciously just before I moved closer to Kazan and enclosed his parted lips with mine. And
