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

as powerful as an alpha must be and yes... I was supposed to be the next alpha of our pack. But fate had other plans for me, I guess.

Cause the darkest of the nights came to me with no intention of leaving, since... since I was very young, causing me to grow up quicker... earlier than my age.

My childhood life had been snatched from me without any mercy, and the pathetic thing was that I couldn't even remorse.

Yes,

Told you... Things have changed for me overnight.

Because,

My parents were killed in some rogue attack when I was just thirteen years old. Since then, I don't know why or how.. but the rest of the pack members accused me of being the reason for their alpha and luna's deaths, which I was not certainly. But things got out of hand so easily as I was so young to even understand what they actually meant.

But then came my uncle Benjamin to my rescue, who took over the pack as the new alpha at that time, which was really needed back then to stop the chaos and to prevent the pack from other attacks.

He is the only one who is good to me among all of the pack members till now.

No, actually there is another one.. My one and only best friend Keith. He is my dad's beta's son and is also of my age. We grew up together and always stayed by each other's side irrespective of the fact that the rest of the pack hates me.

But he never did.

And I am really grateful for that.

“How long do you need to get your butt down here, Sam?” Shouted Kaith from outside of my window, pulling me out of my thoughts.

Yeah, it's time for school.

I quickly put on my black ripped jeans and a blue oversized check shirt, tied my hair up in a messy bun as quickly as possible, put on my only black leather boots, and jumped out of my windows taking my backpack along with me, only to land on one knee in front of the ever so impatient Kaith, who was leaning against his bike.

“Hey!” I smirked as I realized that I had successfully scared the hell out of him with my sudden appearance.

“Don't do that. Ever.” Yeah... He didn't forget to yell at me, poking his fingers on my forehead.

“Blah blah blah blahhh... I know.... Let's go.” I couldn't help but roll my eyes, earning a sigh from him of course.

“Where is your bike?” He asked confused, as, like every other day, I didn't take my bike out to go to school.

“Sent it to the garage yesterday. My baby needed some refreshment.” I said only, because I didn't want to bother him with the truth that somebody broke its parts down, in my absence.

“I see...Get on then.” He sat on his bike while I settled myself behind him just before he kicked the starter and headed towards our school.

The Valcom Valley High school.

Now coming to my one and only best friend....

Kaith.

Kaith is tall, lean and handsome.. He is just the definition of manly. Black wavy hair and those seductive green eyes, beautifully complemented his fair and six feet muscular stature.

Although he is popular too in our school, but he is different, as he never bothered to pretend like the one which he is not. He is not mean like others but an honest soul on earth.

And that's why I adore him the most.

Yes,  that is Kaith, and he is indeed popular... Unlike me.

Oh no..., don't get me wrong.

I am popular too but in a different way.

Cause you see..

I don't look like a girl at all which I am, rather my outfit made sure of it. I am fearless to fight with the untouchable fighters of our school. I am messy.

And on top of that... I am strong.

You can say that I am the strongest fighter apart from being a werewolf.

But.,

Even then there is one who is my tough and only competitor, here, Markus... While the rest are just okay for some fun game,... at least for me.

See, that's why...

That's why I am quite popular... but not as a girl which I am, but as a boy which I pretend like.

“You have a fight with Adrian today. You know right?” Kaith asked worriedly while we were making our ways into the school.

“Don't worry, he can't even pluck a single hair off me.” I reassured Kaith just before I saw the guy of our conversation was standing across the school corridor, with his gang of fuckboys.

The corridor was busy with the students unnecessary chattering, as the classes had not started yet for today. Everyone was busy gossiping about some shits.

But I felt eyes on me from afar. Those hazel eyes who I am supposed to fight today. Yes, Adrian was smirking at me from across the corridor, but only if he knew that his stupid smirk is not going to last long.

Tsk tsk tsk...

He kept smirking at me making the other boys of his group to turn their gaze on me as well. There was Markus my only competitor, Jeremy, a beta and Kazan the most brutal young alpha among them, though I never got to fight a match with him ever, but I know that I hate him too, for no reason.

Episode 4

Markus' P. O. V

“Ohh I hate that bitch, more than anything.” Adrian kept saying rest of the day after today's match that he had lost to Summer pathetically. Every time when he remembered what happened today, he kept frowning unable to control his anger.

“Just because you had lost, that doesn't make her any bitch.” Kazan's deep and grumpy voice worked like oil in the fire, making Adrian even more exasperated.
