Tasting Darkness

Chapter 134

Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 9 – Aleera POV

As more memories washed past me, I couldn’t be bothered to focus on them.

 

I didn’t care for them. I cared for the feeling of agony tearing through my chest as his pain bled into me through the bond. The pain was so intense and raw, so d*mn fresh, that I didn’t believe it could be eased by the most skilled healers.

Nothing I did would pull me out of the trance my body was in. It didn’t matter how hard I tried to fight back, how much of my energy and my own power I forced into breaking the veil – it didn’t move. It didn’t let me go.

It forced me to watch his memories. I was stuck in-between the pain and past. The veil forced me to endure Darius’ pain physically in this memory state and in the waking world.

Even in my current surroundings, I could hear them. As if the veil took pity upon me and let me listen in while the memory scenes kept rounding me. The foreign feeling forced me deeper into the past of the very man who shared his pain with me.

Their voices rounded me like whispers in the wind, but I could still hear the intense panic resonating through the few words I could understand.

Tobias wanted to help Darius and I could hear my phoenixes cawing loudly, desperately wanting me to come back. They were telling me something was seriously wrong.

Nothing worked, no matter what I tried, it didn’t work, so I decided to focus on my anger towards Darius’ past. Maybe that could help me break the chains that held me in this helpless state.

A storm was brewing fiercely, it made the wind howl, and I was suddenly very aware of my outside surroundings. The memories that trapped my mind caught me between both worlds. I was present in two  alternate realities at the same time – one in the far past, and the other which needed me.

The more I saw, the more enraged I became. Along with my rage, my magic strengthened to the point it consumed me whole.
