Tasting Darkness

Chapter 146

Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 21 – Lycus moved to Kalen’s side, his hand ghosting over the others’ shoulder. He leaned against him, trying to pull him away from the darkness that threatened our mate. His depression was heavy like a blanket and was not only suffocating Kalen, but also us. Without Aleera he was a mess, he needed her to remove the shadows that threatened to overtake him.
