Chapter 149


    Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 24 – I red back at him. He chuckled and shook his head, and walked


    way from me and after my mother.


    A defeated sigh left my lips as I kept hoping my darnedest that my mates would feel the mark, and that


    my n would work, right when a movement to my left caught my attention. As my mother’s soldiers


    moved further down the hall and disappear through another door. Now to wait and see what she has in


    store for me.


    Time passes quickly while I’m locked inside the damn cell. I paced back and forth, waiting for some sign,


    for anything really to tell me that things were going to turn in my direction. However, no amount of time


    stuck in there could have prepared me for the three scientists in pristine whiteb coats that bust into the


    room.


    My mother followed behind them, her hands sped behind her back and a wide smile on her lips.


    Two of her more burly minions shoved the scientists aside as they opened the cell and grabbed me by


    my arms, and dragged me closer. My senses were on high alert as I thrashed against them. I still needed


    to y the helpless victim for my mother dearest’s benefit. I couldn’t let her know that any of my power


    had returned.


    One of the scientists pulled a long syringe out of his pocket before proceeding to screw on the longest


    needle I’d ever witnessed. One of the burly asses twisted my arm, preparing me for that monster. My


    damsel in distress act might have to be cut short if things got any more dangerous. I prepared myself just


    in case.


    “I want to test it against the sample I have from when she was a child, see how much her magic has


    morphed since she manifested,” my mother exins to the man, clicking her fingers at him.” Charles, go


    and get a bed for her. I don’t want just her blood, I think some spinal fluid would be appropriate for our


    firstparisons.”


    Fuck. I hated needles. Or maybe it was more, seeing what Darius had endured at the hands of his own


    mad scientists that scared me most. Whichever the case may be, I didn’t want theming anywhere


    near me with that thing, or taking anything from me.


    Charles grunted and stomped off, I was left with just one of the sinister men. Unfortunately, Charles


    wasn’t gone long. He came back wheeling a thin metal gurney and shoved it at hispanion. The other


    man caught it with one hand and together, the two of them forced me onto the table. Their crushing grip


    pinned me down and panic wed at my throat.


    My mother didn’t get closer until they had me secure. Even if I summoned every bit of power I did have, it


    would be hard to get myself out of this situation. She grabbed my bra and reached for a pair of scissors


    one of the scientists handed her. “You won’t need this anymore, Aleera,” she chided as she cut my


    clothes off my body. The only thing keeping me from shing all the men in here was my body pressed to


    the cold metal. “You don’t have to worry about being gentle with her, just get me the sample.”


    One of the scientists stepped forward, the syringe held in his hand. I shuddered. I couldn’t even jerk


    away. His hand reached out, stroking my spine, fingers searching for the spot he wanted to jam that


    fucking needle. He jabbed it into me, but there was no pain. In fact, it was almost like a little clink. I


    couldn’t see what was going on, but the maniacal grin on my mother’s face was gone.


    “Her body’s defense mechanism must be kicking in,” she growled.”


    The anat..


    Try another, a bigger gauge this time.” Another massive syringe was produced, this time the needle was


    thicker than thest one. I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the pain that was to follow. Instead,


    another clink and this time a curse as one of the men holding me down staggered back, warm blood


    sttered across my back and I cracked an eye open to see what was going on.


    Sticking out of his cheek, like a long metal straw, the needle was buried, and the man was cursing as he


    yanked it out, only for blood to gush from the wound. “Fucking bitch,” he snarled at me.


    Maybe my skin had be titanium. Now that would be a nice development.


    “How is this possible?” One of the scientists asked, one of them that didn’t have a big ass needle. This


    one was writing my reactions down. He chewed on the end of his pen, his big bushy brows furrowed.


    “She has no magic and the cuffs are on, correct?”

    Wrong, moron. You might think those things are true, but I’m just not letting you see that I’ve got magic


    back. I still needed to bide my time, thank God for the whole body defense thing. Thest thing I needed


    was for her to get away with taking my spinal fluid. I had to resist the urge to demonstrate just how


    incorrect he truly was, now wasn’t the time for my breakout.


    My mother sighs, her earlier excitement wiped away. “Demonic and Seraphim remember, Clint? She is


    part Seraphim, her mate is Demonic-Fae. When she is scared, even powerless, her body still has certain


    safely mechanisms. Why do I have to exin this to you? You’re supposed to be one of the top men in


    your field.” She rolled her eyes at him. “Greyson used to have to shock Darius regrly, even when he


    was powerless to drop his body’s shield.”


    I wished she would keep going because I would also like to know more about these apparent safety


    mechanisms my body had that I’d never heard of. Thatst line though was more than a bit worrisome.


    “Charge her, you know the drill, it will weaken her bodies’ reaction. Once that’s finished, I want that


    sample, and make sure you fill the syringepletely.” My mother orders, walking off and out of the cell.
