Chapter 160


    Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 35 – Putting a hand to my lips, I gasped. I was


    the cure. The way to stop the gues all along. Darius may have created the first gue, but I created


    the cure. Porter sn*tched my wrist, “Please, take care of Lycus. Tell him I’m sorry,” he whispered


    through ckened lips. “I was never the husband his mother deserved, or the father I should have


    been to him.” He took a pained breath, wincing.


    More blood spewed from his mouth and down his chin, and he groaned in pain. It was obvious,


    whatever my mother had done, he was causing immense suffering. There was so much blood, I


    couldn’t figure out how he was possibly alive.


    Had he held onto life to give me these vials? I stared down at the man that had caused so much pain


    and suffering and instead of the hatred that usually licked away at my insides, I found pity. I held my


    hand near his head.


    “I’ll take care of him,” I promised. Porter let out a breath and nodded his head weakly, closing his eyes.


    “I know I don’t deserve it, but I’m sorry.” Porter mumbled, his hands twitched as his muscles spasmed.


    (( He would never forgive me,” Porter choked out. “Maybe in another lifetime you can make it up to


    him,” I whisper, it was clear he was terrified of dying. “I don’t want Lycus to do it… I don’t want it on his


    soul. I have caused him enough pain.


    He will feel obligated, I know my son..” I understood what he meant, if I walked away and left him and


    Lycus learned he was down here suffering, he woulde down to put him out of his misery.


    “I understand if you won’t, you owe me nothing,” Porter rasped, spraying me in blood. I wasn’t sure how


    much longer he could hold on, but it was obvious his magic hadn’t burned out, and he was trying to


    heal himself.


    I cupped his cheek with my hand. “I don’t think I can heal you without bonding you to me,” “I’m not


    asking that, I am asking you to kill me,” he said, opening his eyes and looking at me. ”


    Don’t make him do it, he hates me, but I know deep inside, he still loves Why else would hee


    running every time I summoned him?” He coughed and I nodded. I knew mostly for Kalen, but part of


    him longed for his father, he had no reason to do as his father asked once he was with Darius and


    Tobias.


    I let out a shaky breath and nod. “I don’t like you, but I forgive you, >> I told him, holding up the vials to


    show him that I had them safely. “Do you think Lycus may one day forgive me?” He said it with a deep


    sigh, the way a condemned man whispers right before their sentence is carried out.


    I tilt my head to the side, watching him. “Maybe, maybe when he forgives himself for not saving her,” I


    whispered and his tears send blood streaking his cheek. “Thank you,” he choked out before closing his


    eyes. I summoned my magic. I couldn’t let him suffer.


    He deserved to, but he was Lycus’ father and his remorse was enough for me to end him quickly. Fire


    spiraled from my hand and consumed him, turning him into ash on the spot. I sighed, ncing down at


    the ck spot his body left.


    Tucking the vials away into my pocket, I straightened and looked away from what used to be Lycus’


    father. Nothing would sway me from my mission to find my mother and put an end to this chaos all


    around me.


    On the floor below, the power hunters’ screams were being cut off one-by-one. I almost wished I was


    downstairs to watch the Harmony Fae taking their revenge on those who had tormented them. From


    the sounds of it, none of the hunters would be making it up the stairs.


    Yet as I took in my surroundings, eyes searching, I spotted her. There was their Queen, darting out of


    another room far down the hall. She was running, a case clutched for dear life in her hand. Something,


    I wouldn’t let her leave with.

    I tore off after her, my footsteps echoing down the hall. “Lidia!” I screamed, almost roared at her with all


    the anger and hatred that waspressed inside. She froze in ce and her head jerked as she saw


    me.


    “Aleera! Come with me,” she offered with a wide grin. “We can rule together!” She was definitely more


    insane than I’d ever imagined if she thought I was going to fall for this. Me, join her? Never, even if she


    somehow brainwashed me,


    I would off myself before I would fall prey to her. “I will never join you, Lidia. You had me not because


    you wanted me, a child to love, but because you wanted a weapon to exact your revenge and lust for


    power.


    I was just a means to an end for you.” A shadow flitted across her face, making her appear dark and


    sinister. “You would pick them over me?” she spat the words out at me. “His kind are the reason the


    Seraphim are no more! He is the reason the gue killed all the light Fae! You would still choose him


    knowing all that?” “No,” the word boomed out of me and for a second her c****y confidence wavered, I


    got to see her fear.


    “Darius never started the gue. You and my father used him, just like you used me. All of this the


    gue and what came of it was to settle an age-old score and so you could sit on the ultimate seat of


    power. All of this time you knew I was the cure, and you wanted to use that and dangle me about like


    some toy.


    I will always choose my mates above you, especially Darius.” My words struck home. Pure hatred


    shed in her eyes and she screamed like a possessed banshee before charging straight at me. I


    stopped her mid-lunge, holding her in ce with my magic. Her eyes were wide, clearly she wasn’t


    expecting this.
