Tasting Darkness

Chapter 110

Read Tasting Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 31 – “What is this place?” I ask him, looking around. This place gave me the shivers like it was full of dark energy. It felt like I walked into a tomb or over someone’s grave. Darius says nothing, making me look back at him to find his eerie demonic eyes watching me.

“You shouldn’t have come down here,” he snaps at me as his hands slam against the wall on either side of my head. The moment they do, lights flicker, and I hear the sound of a generator turning on, the fluorescent lights on the roof blink to life, illuminating the space.

“It’s a bunker,” he finally says, pushing off the wall and stepping away from me.

“Why are you here?”

“I followed you. Don’t ask me how

because I don’t know how,” I tell him, looking around the space. I find a tiny kitchen, a bunk bed, and scattered belonging that look old and abandoned. Drawings were on the walls in crayons and pastels, and teddies were on the bed with more dust than stuffing.

I move around the space, looking around, yet I feel his gaze on my back as he follows me. Yet the more I looked, the more I was sure of where I was.

“This is where your mother and sister hid during the plague?” I ask him, glancing at him over my shoulder. He neither agrees nor denies, but I know I am right.

“Have the others been down here?”

“No, and you shouldn’t be down here.” Turning around, I face him, looking him over. He seemed pissed that I intruded, but that are whicomanian

but at least here, we had some privacy away from our mates. And maybe he might tell me something.

“Tobias is awake,” I tell him. “He’s having a shower,” he says nothing, just stares.

“We were talking about his brother,” I mention feeling the bond when he slams his walls up, blocking me out. But he wasn’t quick enough, and I noted the flash of guilt that hit me.

“Tobias doesn’t know, does he?” I ask him.

“Tobias doesn’t know what. There is a lot Tobias doesn’t know, Aleera,” Darius tells me, and I knew I was onto something.

“Doesn’t know you blame yourself for his brother’s death,” I whisper. Darius stares

at me for a few seconds.

“You think because I have guilt, it has to do with Tobias?”
