Tasting Darkness

Chapter 86

Book 2 Chapter 7 ” Just remember , I gave you power , Aleera . I can always take it away . I allow you to be with us ! So take it or leave it . Our mates will listen if I tell them too . You may have the bond , but I had years of being their keeper . They are sired to me which is stronger than your incomplete bond . You are not the only keeper here . Just remember that ! ” Darius growled before letting me go . He then storms out of the basement . I glared at him as he stomped off up the steps . I should have known better . The media always portrayed him to be a monster .

And once again , he showed me they were right . Yet the stupid bond craved him . I push the intense feelings to apologize and beg at his feet for acceptance down . Instead , I let my anger over him fester . The longer I sat there , the more I hated them and myself . Well , no , not all of them . Not Kalen . I don’t think it is possible to ever hate Kalen .

I was just some tool he could use to become stronger because that is what it felt like this morning , with the way he used me for my magic , only to toss me away like I was garbage afterward .
