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

I am supposed to get my bike today. So... I will have to walk to the garage. And you keep your bike.” I handed back the key to him, as he agreed.

So,

I started walking down the street as soon as I left Kaith at the school.

I looked up. The evening sky was painted with a beautiful shade of orange with the last rays of the sun. I enjoyed the soft smooth evening breeze throughout my walk until I reached my destination, in no time.

Though the garage was far but the distance felt like little as I was enjoying my walk, and time flew by.

“Is it done?” I asked the boy who was working inside, as soon as I reached.

I couldn't see his face, but only the broad muscular back was what I saw, from where I was standing. He wasn't wearing any t-shirts, so I could see that his skin was dusky, reflecting all the hard work he has to do, maybe. He was sitting on the ground, so I couldn't get to know exactly how tall he is, but I am sure he is tall and young, by the little what caught my eyes till now.

After some time, I realized he didn't answer... So I tried again.

“Hello? Is my bike repaired yet?” I thought he might be some new guy as I never saw him here before. I remembered there was another guy yesterday, when I came with my bike.

I could be wrong too as I don't come here often.

But to my surprise, he stood up this time saying..

“Which one?” He asked turning himself to face me.

In an instant I recognized the face. Blue eyes, dark brown hair, sharp nose and jawline, dusky indeed, tall and muscular.

Kazan.

I was really really shocked to see him here, as I never expected.

“What are you doing here?” I asked unconsciously with my wide eyes. As far as I know, he is a young alpha, and obviously doesn't need to work in some garage.

Wait... Does he even work here?

But without bothering to answer my question, he asked again with his deep voice..

“Which one?”

“Royal Enfield classic 350” I just said, as I also didn't want to talk to this arrogant for no reason.

But without my expectation, there arrived Adrian and Jeremy, at the very moment when Kazan took my bike out of the garage.

“Look who is it here.” Said, Adrian.

Yeah, that was what left to deal with to end my peaceful day.

But then I remembered that I have no such day that I can call peaceful.

“Hey, kids.” I replied, rolling my eyes in disgust.

“I think you are becoming more and more impatient to know if we are kids or not. What? Do you need us to help you with that?” Adrian scoffed at me.

Just before I could get back on them with my sharp mouth, I heard..

“Move” For one moment I thought Kazan was saying it to me, until I saw his ferocious eyes on Adrian.

And to my surprise, Adrian followed what he asked him to do, without a single word.

“Get your keys from the counter and drop your cash there.” Kazan said in his deep voice, just before he handed me the bike, and retreated to whatever work he was doing, without bothering about anything around.

It's high time I heard him speaking.

I mean,

I couldn't even recognize his voice.

As he doesn't bother to speak much.

No,

He doesn't bother about anything, at all.

Yes,

Arrogant,...what he is.

Episode 5

Summer's P. O. V

I went straight to my home this evening.

Yes, I live alone.

As Uncle Benjamin had to live at the packhouse for being the alpha, with his mate and the rest of the members. And the pack pretty much hates me so, I chose to live in my parent's house all on my own, even though there is no one to receive me when I get back home. No warm hugs for me, no one to ask about my day, no one to have dinners with me. So, yeah, it's just me.

After locking the door behind I threw my keys on the table and went to my room to take a warm shower to freshen up my mood a bit. I changed into some comfortable clothes and made my way out to prepare something to eat. You see, I need to feed my hungry stomach at least.

As soon as I finished making my dinner my phone rang, and I knew who was calling. Because not many people call me every day. So I picked up, without bothering to see the caller Id.

“Hey, are you done with your extra work today?” I asked, keeping the phone in between my head and shoulder, while wiping the mess that I had just created in my kitchen.

“Yes, where are you now?” Kaith asked from the other side of the phone.

“Where else? Home.” I said, reminding myself what is coming next, as I went to prepare dinner for another one.

“Okay then, I am coming over in fifteen minutes.” He hung up right after.

I sighed.

Yes, I am quite used to this, as Kaith always accompanies me whenever he can, from the very beginning. And told you,.. things between him and me never changed, not even for a moment. At least he is the only one who could give me the feeling of what I can call family, making this cold and lonely house as alive as a home should be. So that I don't have to eat alone, always.

I was lost in my own thoughts when the doorbell went off suddenly. So I went to get the door after putting down the food on the dinner table.

“You are earlier than I have expected.” I said, when I saw the grinning face of no
