Love Grows In The Dark

by Eli Lowe

  It was not that I was angry with them anymore, cause I knew that they were also victims of Benjamin's treacherous plans.

  So, I did exactly what I supposed to do.

  I let them be a part of my life, forgetting about all the grudges I had against them all for years.

  After all, I am the rightful alpha of the Lunar High pack now.

  Anyway,

  Coming back to the present, and the main concern for me now was that how am I supposed to get up from the bed?

  And what the hell is Kazan doing here?

  I tried to move his arms from my body but I failed miserably, as he pulled me into his chest even closer.

  His hot breaths kept fanning on my bare back, causing a weird kind of urgency for me to run away from Kazan as soon as possible, or I would definitely end up desiring him early in the morning, which I do not want at all.

  So I tried once again to fee myself but this time I ended up waking him up from his sleep as his morning groan announced how I was disturbing him from having a great dream, I guess.

  “I know that you love playing with danger, baby. But if you keep moving like this, it will be difficult for me to save you from one, cause I will surely end up eating you up right here. You know what, you made me so fucking hard right now.” Kazan's deep voice fell on my ears and I could not help but shiver with the seriousness in his words.

  “Let me go.” I said sternly, in order to warn him for doing anything to me, cause I know very well how he gets his way with me every time he behaves like such.

  “No.” He replied in short and started to rub his face on the back of my head, while he let his hands roam on my chest and my swollen belly at the same time. And I could clearly feel a hard thing poking me from the back as Kazan kept enclosing the last bit of space between us.

  I saw the danger and the urgency to run, but as if my own heart and body had also started to betray me just when they recognised the touches of my mate.

  I realised how I started to melt in his embrace bit by bit, as I let him touch me however he wished.

  His lips soon came down to my nape and then at the crook of my neck and kept torturing me with those soft kisses which soon turned into a wild one as Kazan could not help sucking and nipping on the soft spot of my skin, letting my body feel a lot of tingles all at once and wishing for more.

  And only after he got satisfied enough with the mark of the hickey that he left on me, Kazan made me lay on my back carefully, so that I could face him now.

  “Good morning, wife.” Kazan greeted me with a warm smile plastered on his face while I was still busy dealing with the tortures he kept doing with his hands.

  “I am not your wife. We are not married. Remember?” I said, causing him to stop whatever he was doing, as he looked up to meet my eyes at last.

  “Even though we are not legally married yet, you are my one and only wife, baby. Cause you are now stuck with me for the rest of your life. Moreover, we are going to have our first pup any day now. And not only that, you will be the mother of the rest of my pups for which I am ready to work hard, cause I want a whole house filled with our naughty little devils, you know. So, it does not matter if you kept denying to marry me every time I ask you to. Even if you say no, you are my woman and I am your man. You get that, right?” Kazan's words made me stupefied and it seemed like I was compelled by something or someone as I did not hesitate before nodding my head, agreeing with whatever Kazan just said, unconsciously though.

  At this moment, everything seemed to go out of my hands as I found myself drawn to the man who kept loving me in every way possible.

  My heart started to beat faster than ever and his condition was no different as I felt his throbbing beast against my skin while both of us dying to become one for this moment once again. But both of us knew that it will not be any good if we let ourselves follow our desires for now.

  Suddenly, Kazan stopped and jolted up on the bed, attempting to cover-up his hard throbbing manhood with the bed sheet first, but nothing was of any help when everything went out of control.

  I saw how his cheeks were covered with the crimson hue right at this moment while his ocean blue eyes were busy searching for something in my olive green like eyes.

  I wanted to hide from those alluring gaze of my mate which was causing my heart race without any doubt. I pulled the cover up on my face in an instant, in order to prevent him from seeing how hard I was blushing at this instant as my cheeks were already burning in red, I knew that for sure.

  But it seemed that my efforts were all futile, as Kazan pulled the cover down in one swift move right away, and I felt like naked before his eyes all of a sudden.

  “Do not try to hide from me ever. You are looking so beautiful right now, do you know that? I totally love to see that only I can make you look this tempting when you are turned on for me, baby.” Kazan said in his low yet alluring voice which made blush even more than before, but I had no way to hide anymore.

  “Do not call me baby. And...and I am not turned on at all.” I stuttered and tried to look at anywhere but into his eyes, cause I knew that he could easily see how I was lying.

  “Is that so?” He whispered in my ears and made me sit up on the bed only to lift me up carefully to sit on his lap right away and planted a kiss on my cheeks all of a sudden.

  “Yes. Definitely.” I answered trying to avoid meeting his eyes which were now completely full with so much affection and the thirst to love me more.

  “But I am not, baby. You totally turned me on with those of your seductive gaze. What do I do now?” Kazan asked in a low voice, while his warm breaths were brushing against my cheeks, causing the heat to grow even more between us.

  Even though I was feeling a bit uneasy, I just could not afford to get out of his embrace as I was slowly losing my mind too, along with Kazan.

  “I...I do not know.” I replied, keeping my eyes closed to feel all the different kind of sensations, that Kazan was offering me right now.

  He pulled my hand slowly under the cover and made me touch his hard and erect being with his hand wrapped around mine, so that I can not pull my hand back.

  His warm breath once again fanned on my skin, announcing how much pleased he got right now.

  “Help me with it, baby, or else it will not go down any sooner. And it will be really difficult for me to spend an entire day with a hard-on.

  So, please!!” Kazan whispered into my ears once again, but I have already drifted away from my right mind a long ago, and let Kazan do whatever he wanted to do right at this situation.

  His soft moans kept filling my ears for how long, I did not know either, while I felt his being started throbbing against my palm even more than before, causing Kazan to groan more and more in some kind of pleasure, for sure.

  Soon, his thirsty lips found their way to mine and without wasting any further time his restless tongue started invading my mouth as if his beast was dying to come out already.

  I could not hold myself back any longer and deepen the kiss, even more, giving myself completely to him at this moment.

  I did not know how time passed and when Kazan scooped me up into his arms and brought me in the bathroom, until the cold water from the shower hit my skin.

  Kazan helped me to take a bath to cool down both our bodies, after the intense session we had just a while ago, early in the morning.

  As soon as I gained my senses back, I could not be more embarrassed, realising what exactly he made me do.

  “I...I am done.” I hurried to get out of the shower but only to escape from this embarrassment right now.

  But as if I could even do that when Kazan had no intention to let me go.

  He covered my body with a dry towel and wrapped his waist with another without letting me flee out of his sight.

  “How can I afford to take off my eyes when you always look so stunning, baby.

  I just can not get enough of you, no matter what.

  Do you know how you are glowing t
hese days? It makes me insane sometimes.

  Is it because you are pregnant with my pup now?” Kazan asked pulling me into his arms once again.

  “Maybe. I do not know.” I replied and tried to get out of his hold to wear something that will fit my huge belly. But again, he did not let me.

  “Well, then after this pup, I need to make sure to work hard for a few more times, so that I could see you like this again and again. What do you say?” Kazan chuckled and planted a kiss on my temple just before he loosened his grip and let me go at last.

  “No way. I am not going to roam around with such a huge belly anymore, after this pup. I am warning you, Kazan.” With that, I quickly put on a floral dress which allows my huge and swollen belly to hide underneath its flared skirt without any effort.

  “Okay, then let us make a bet first. If you give me a girl this time, then we will stop only at one. But if not, then we will keep doing it, until I get a girl who is exactly like you. Is that okay?” Even though I knew very well that it was just a trap of Kazan to change my mind, I could not help falling for it.

  “Deal.” I said with a stern voice, letting him know how annoyed I was feeling due to his stupid bet. But he was least bothered about the fact as he pushed away all the tension between us, with a huge grin, declaring his victory over me, at last.

  “Okay now get ready. We have a ceremony to go to.” With that Kazan started running around the room to get himself dressed.

  “Ceremony?” For the flash of a second, I totally forgot about the whole thing that we kept discussing for a few weeks now.

  “You forgot. Didn't you? Today you are officially going to be acknowledged as the Alpha of the Lunar High pack, as your entire pack was looking forward to this day. They arranged a ceremony for you today, and you are not allowed to skip that. Do you get that?” With that, Kazan stood in front of my eyes, in his perfectly fitted black formal shirt paired with the black pants which were perfectly defining his each and every single muscle on his body, turning him into an absolutely handsome and charming man that any girl would die for.

  Episode 85

  Summer's P.O.V

  Just when I was thinking about how to run away from Kazan's seductive gaze which kept pulling me towards him more and more for no reason at all, there was a sudden knock on the door, giving me the one single chance to excuse myself, just as I wished right now.

  “Yes, come in please.” I said right away, cause I did not want to give Kazan any chance to seduce me any more, just like he did in this morning, not a while ago.

  Seeing my reaction of getting relieved after the sudden knock, I clearly heard him chuckling behind my back, as I went to get the door as soon as possible.

  But even before I could approach first, Jenny came in the room, to my rescue along with Kaith by his side.

  “Jenny!!!” I got happy in an instant.

  Seeing Jenny smiling warmly as ever, made me feel even happier as I could not help but hug her right away, as if I was seeing after a long time, even though we were together yesterday as well. In fact, we were always together.

  Jenny returned my hug with her open arms and held me tight, while I was really reacting like some child.

  So, she coaxed me until I was ready to let go of her.

  Even though I felt bad that Jenny could not speak a single word to me now, but still I was relieved that she was there with me and was happy.

  “It seems that you have already forgotten about your best friend since you have got Jenny by your side now. Tsk. I have never imagined that I would have to see this one day. You did hurt me, Sam.” Kaith, said in his melodramatic tone, and pretended to act all grumpy while he was not.

  “You are a real bad actor. Do you know that, Kaith?” I used my most stern voice when talking to Kaith, pretending to be all serious right now.

  After all, I was his Alpha. Right?

  I should be difficult to deal with.

  Yeah.

  That is it.

  But, I could not help but laugh out loud right after a pregnant pause, seeing how scared Kaith just got, seeing my serious face.

  “Ha ha. Funny.” Only after realising that he got fooled by me, Kaith mocked me, showing that he got hurt, cause this time it was not just me but his own mate, Jenny also laughed at this scared cat, Kaith.

  “Anyway, we have something for you.” Just when Kaith uttered those words, he pointed towards Jenny right away.

  And only then I realised that she was holding something on her hand all this while that I failed to see before.

  A warm smile crossed her face once again, revealing those gorgeous dimples on her cheeks once again, just when she held the thing before my eyes at last.

  A dress it was.

  And it was the most beautiful dress I have ever seen.

  “What? Wait a minute. Is that for me?” I asked as I was absolutely surprised to get such a present.

  Jenny nodded her head in an instant, declaring the fact that I guessed right.

  “Yes, it is for you. Cause I got another one for Jenny. See.” As soon as Kaith said those words, he took out another beautiful dress from somewhere like magic.

  I will not deny the fact that I was surprised.

  Cause I was, indeed.

  But this time it seemed that I was not the only one, as when I looked at Jenny, her eyes were totally widened in surprise. Seeing her reacting in such a way, anyone could tell that she was not at all aware that Kaith was going to gift him a dress as well.

  It seemed that Kaith did make a good plan to surprise his mate.

  I must say that he is not a kid anymore. He has really grown up to be a responsible man now.

  Ahh!!! At last.

  At last, I can stop worrying about him.

  Anyway,

  I took the dress from Jenny's hands in no time, so that she could take her gift from her mate.

  Her eyes told us how pleased she was as she did not wait to run into Kaith's chest with all her happy tears and Kaith embraced her with all the love he has for his mate.

  I just could not get enough of seeing both of them happy and together for the rest of their lives.

  But I did not know why and how the tears kept coming to my eyes that easily for the last few months, cause I always end up being emotional with or even without any reason, when the fact was that I was never this much emotional before.

  And being the most unromantic man as ever, Kazan cleared his throat at such an intense moment, in order to declare his presence in this room as well, which caused both Kaith and Jenny break their hug in utter embarrassment.

  Tsk.

  I will kill this guy, someday.

  Can he not see that they were enjoying their time together for a bit?

  What would he have lost if he kept it quiet for some time at least?

  Tsk.

  “Should we not hurry? Or else we can only attain the evening banquet if we keep going with this pace.” Kazan said with his deep voice from the back, earning a deadly glare from me obviously.

  What happened to his sense of timing when he kept me busy all this morning to do all those perverted stuff with me?

  And now he comes to talk about being late?

  Huh!!!

  “Umm!!! Well, both of you need to get ready now. We are waiting for you at the ground. Okay?” With that, both Kaith and Kazan moved to get out of the room to give us the space, so that we could dress up fast.

  But just when Kaith turned around to leave, he stopped for a bit and turned around to say,

  “By the way, Sam!! The dress we got for you is actually a gift from Alpha Kazan. He spared his precious time from his busy schedule to go and buy this one for you only. And I must add that he took hell a lot of time to pick that one for you.” Just when Kaith revealed those words all of a sudden in the presence of Kazan himself, I did not fail to see how his body tensed up a bit all of sudden, finding himself get caught red-handed.

  I even noticed how his ears reddened along with his cheeks
in an instant. Seeing him like this was the biggest surprise for me as I absolutely forgot about the other thing to be surprised about that Kaith just said.

  “I...I am going out.” With that Kazan rushed out of the room without even looking at me, not even for a single time.

  And Kaith followed him right away.

  Now here I was standing in my room being absolutely stupefied due to the very thing that I got to know just a while ago.

  Did...did Kazan really bought this dress for me?

  I did not know I was shocked or I was happy. But my eyes sure got widened realising what just happened.

  I looked up to see Jenny, intending to ask her if it was all true whatever Kaith just said.

  But even before I could ask her, it seemed that she had already read my mind and nodded her head a big 'yes' with a huge grin plastered on her face.

  Jenny's smile was clear enough to tell that she was definitely teasing me right now, as her eyes were sparkling with utter joy, without any doubt.

  “Yes. Yes. I get it.” I could not help but roll my eyes at Jenny, finding her teasing me with her mischievous smile while I just could not hide my totally flustered face right at this moment.

  “Okay, now we need to dress up quickly.” I said and closed the door in an instant so that we could change.

  I got into the dress without any effort and asked Jenny to zip it from my back.

  And when I finally stood in front of the mirror, I just could not help but admire the choice of my mate.

  I mean his choice about the dress.

  Yeah.

  It was a gown actually with a lot of flares around my waist that comes down past my heels, letting the end of the gown fall on the ground ever so beautifully.

  I must say I have never looked this stunning ever before, but the beauty of this dress was definitely helping me to be confident about my appearance, even when I have a huge belly right now to deal with.

  In fact, all the perfectly stitched flares of the soft fabric around my waistline, just above where my belly started getting bigger, are perfectly hiding the fact that I am even pregnant now. As if my swollen belly was even contributing to the fabric of the dress to form the perfect flares, turning the dress into an absolutely gorgeous one.
