Tasting Darkness

Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 34 –  Aleera

My mind became lost to the dream walk with my mates. It was so real, I almost felt like I could reach out and touch them, to share the joy that vibrated through them. I was consumed by the emotion until I felt the very ground shake, and the walls cracked around me. Cr**ks zipping up the walls and making holes to the cells next door. Not large enough to get into, but enough for me to see my terrified neighbor.

I looked up at the ceiling, dust sprinkling over me, and my eyes darted to the other Fae locked in their cells. The power of my mates flared through the bond, my infinity mark was glowing, lit up bright and burning against me they were coming for me.

The tremors are violent, murmurs and panicked cries ring out as the Harmony Fae worry the roof would cave in. Now or never, now it is. The time for my mother having the upper hand, or even thinking she still had it, was over.

I sent more power into the cell door, and the surge traveled not just to my cell, but up and down the entire line. The moment each lock undid, the digital panels controlling their collars exploded.
