Tasting Darkness

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 

Darius POV 

Tobias’s fist connected with her jaw. It happened so quickly I barely caught the movement until she started to fall. Tobias hesitated to catch her like he would let her hit the marble floors, but he moved at the last second, catching her limp body.

Lycus storms out of the dungeons, looking extremely pissed off, and his shirt is coated in blood. Kalen was at his side in an instant, fussing over him. Lycus’s shirt is saturated in blood, his nose bleeding, and Tobias turns, noticing my gaze is directed over his shoulder. Lycus smacks Kalen’s fussing hands away as he storms over to us.

“Fucking bitch stole some of my power and hit me with it,” He growls, rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

Kalen’s eyes look to Aleera in Tobias’s arms, his expression looking conflicted before reaching his arms out for her.

“No, we have talked about this. You are to stay away from her,” Tobias tells him. Kalen looked at me, and I could see the pleading in his eyes. He wanted to hold her, feel her close.

“She is unconscious; she can’t hurt him,” I tell Tobias, giving i n to Kalen.

Tobias growls but shoves her toward him and lets Kalen take her limp body in his arms. Lycus growls, not wanting Aleera near him. None of us did, and I worried this might start up the obsession again. I am pretty sure letting him take her will be just the beginning and a mistake on my part.

Kalen was already attached to her. He has attached to her already, and he hasn’t even spoken to her yet. She looked small in his arms, hugged close to his chest. How could he still want her after it nearly cost his life? He almost chucked it away for her, and yet he was so tender with her. I hated it, and Tobias’ deadly glare said he did, too.

“Put her back in the cells,” I tell him when he turns around with her in his arms. He freezes, turning back to face me.

“Darius, please,” His voice a soft murmur before he looks down at her in his arms. Lycus walks over to him, stopping in front of him.
