Tasting Darkness

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 

Tobias POV 

We had just finished eating dinner, yet I was craving something else. Someone else. I never should have fed on Aleera. I was only allowed to feed on Lycus and Darius, and I knew the reason for it, but her blood had been calling me from the moment I laid eyes on her. I told myself just a taste, but I knew I was done for when I fed on her when I tried to take the shadows from her.

Lycus watched me; he had been looking at me strangely all day since he found me arguing with Aleera.

“I need to check the wards in the forest. Do you want to come? ” Darius asked, getting up from his seat.

“No, I will wait here,” I told him. He tilted his head to the side, examining me. I always went with him, and I knew he was suspicious of me too. They all were. My hunger was insatiable, one of the reasons I was only to strictly feed on Lycus and Darius. They could fight me off. Kalen and Aleera, not so much if I lost control.

“When did you last feed? You seem to be in a mood,” Darius asked before his eyes flicked to Lycus.

“Earlier off me, twice actually,” Lycus answered, and Darius turned his gaze back to me, and I noticed Kalen get up to head through the bathroom, and I growled in warning at him.

“Sit Kalen, I will take you to see her later,” I told him, and he sighed but sat back on the bed, yet Darius still didn’t leave.

“Are you struggling since feeding on her the other night?” Darius asked me, and I shook my head.

“No, I am just drained,” I lied. He didn’t look like he believed me, but I also knew Darius had an obsession with the wards, and my mood wouldn’t keep him here much longer; I just needed to wait him out.

“Lycus, do you want to come?” Darius turned and asked him.

“Can I?” Kalen asked him excitedly.

“I thought you wanted to see Aleera?”
