Tasting Darkness

Chapter 141

Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 16 – Darius POV

Since Lycus’ hearing was far more sensitive, he shrieked. I couldn’t look away as his claws tore at his head. Tobias wailed, covering his own.

Lidia casually walked down the stairs, unfazed by the chaos surrounding her. Aleera stopped, seeing the strange look on her mother’s face and the way everyone suddenly backed up.

“You dare betray me,” Aleera snarled at her mother. Her lava snakes slivered behind her as she faced her mother. If we had more time on our hands, I would gladly stand aside and admire the beauty of Aleera’s newfound, destructive power as she harnessed the shadows, morphed and tamed the darkness that was now writhing through her.

Lidia’s loud, screeching laughter caught my attention. I snapped my head in her direction just as she spoke up. “You silly girl, all you had to do was come to me. None of this was necessary,” Lidia chipped back at her.

Although I didn’t know what to expect, of all the things, I was more worried about the way Lidia’s mutated monsters were backing away. “Aleera!” I called her name, my voice sent a jolt up her spine as she turned her head briefly in my direction.
