Chapter 139
Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 14 – Darius POV
He darted in without hesitation, but there was something different, and started tearing them limb from
limb. Yet it became apparent that we missed something because these new Power hunters. Dead by his
ws and teeth, missing limbs and blood drenching him were something more than power hunters.
Because one by one they started rebuilding themselves, putting themselves back together. Limbs
stitching back together. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, they put the part of themselves back together
again.
“What the f*ck!” I curse in disbelief. Lycus stops and shakes his head with a growl like he can’t believe
what he is witnessing. The hunters form a circle around him closing him in and the power that flowed out
of them, caged him until his body is pressed close to the ground, or he’ll be burned by a dome of fire. He
snarls, but there’s nothing he can do.
Kalen grunts as yet another attack is driven through his body. “I’m tired of this,” she grabs him by his
chain and flings his body off the side of the roof. He free-falls and the chain jerks taunt as he reaches the
end of it and the b*tch tries to hang him.
My powers fly through the air, they crackle around me as I fight my way through the hunters. Kalen’s limp
form dangles above me, but I don’t reach for him. I jump high into the air andnd beside her. She’s
startled and drops the chain’s end, letting Kalen’s body crash to the hard ground below.
I waste no time in stalking forward. There’s nothing she can do to stop me.
“Take one more step, and I’ll blow your mate’s head off,” she sneers at me, holding up a small red button.
“That chain is special in more ways than one.”
I pause. The power flowing through his body I had no doubt he could take, but having his head
removed? That was a bit more extreme. That would require more than a little stitching and help from the
shadows to return him to Necromancy I had no issue dabbling in, but even it had its limits.
Sheughs and struts forward, a long jagged knife in her hands. Its wicked edge glints with the light. On
your knees, Darius,” shemands.
Tobias grunts, forcing my attention to him. One of the hunters has a knife of their own and is slicing into
him, cut after cut. Lycus is burning alive, the fire is too much for him in such a tight area, and Kalen is still
a battered heap at the bottom of the wall.
F*ck! My mind frantically searches for a way out of this, but my mate’s lives were at stake. I came here
willing to die, but I am not willing to sacrifice my mates.
I drop to my knees, and she brings the knife to my neck, running the tip from one side to the other with
the barest of pressures and creating a thin ribbon of blood. I close my eyes, reading myself for death,
praying mine will be all she decides to take.
One breath, two, three I take in waiting for it. However, a high pitched screech steals our attention and
my eyes open and we both look up as a phoenix desperately throws its body into the shield, only to
bounce off.
The b*tchughs, the sound of it enough to beat against my ears. I wish I could throw her off this
building, but I can’t risk their death. She returns the knife to the ce she had put it before and smiled
against the side of my face. “Goodbye, Darius, go to hell where you belong.”
She’s right. I do believe in hell, i deserve to be embraced by its mes and for my soul to be devoured. I
close my eyes and let my body rx as I wait for the sweet release of death,
Each breath I take, waiting for it toe when the Phoenix hits the shield again, followed by another. ”
That’s impossible,” she murmurs, and I hear her stagger back. My eyes snap open to see the sky outside
the dome burning orange.
The shield cracked, fracturing like ss with each jolt. Each hairline crack growingrger than thergest
as the Phoenixes torpedo the shield, like a meteor shower, when I hear her scream.
Then feel her burning anger, making me look to the center of the circling Phoenixes as they dropped one
by one, bringing assaults down on the shield imprisoning us. Aleera hovered in the air, her anger so
violent, so consuming, I am stunned as she looks at the shield encasing us when suddenly she screams.
Her Phoenixes caw a mighty scream along with her as mes erupt from their beaks, sting the shield,
and engulfing it in mes. I lose sight of her, but not for long because her fury turns white-hot, and she
suddenly burned brighter than the stars as she dove straight into the mes.
Her wings closing in around her and I gasp as she free-falls through the mes and crashes straight
through the shield. The st of power that emitted from her when she did was like a shock wave,
burning hot air sting us and knocking me on my back, the ground rumbles.
I sit up just in time to witness the Fae below scattering like ants. Most only got out of her way just in time
as she hits the ground.
The force in which she hit the ground created a crater. One so deep she disappeared. I crawl to the
edge, peering down at it, whenva bubbles and spews out of it. I choke. Too much power, too much
power for anyone to withstand.

“No!” Tobias screams seeing theva engulf her, he screams the words my screamed, The same ones
her mother did.
“Aleera!” Kalen screams only to be shocked by the device. Tense seconds pass, my heart thudding so
hard it drowns out all other noise. Tears pr*ck my eyes and her Phoenixes circle above chirping in song
when I see the violentva erupting and spewing out, eating away the edges of the crater. Then it
stopped, rippled, and silence fell over everyone.
It was as if time stopped, theva calms turning cid like the stillestke.
I hold my breath until she casually walks out, the Lava and mes do not burn her. Like an avenging
angel from the pits of hell, she took center stage, her eyes locked on her mother. And damn was she
furious.
