Rayne POV
Mateo's words wouldn't leave my mind. "He is the darkness". The words were strong, all my try to get pass these Word's were totally in vein.
I stared at Kael as he leaned against the wall, catching his half lost breathe.
His normally calm features were pale, his hands trembling slightly. He'd saved me again. But there was something off. Something undeniable. Something strange.
"You okay?" Kael asked, his voice hoarse, cutting through my tangled thoughts.
I nodded automatically to his words.
"Are you?" I questioned.
He offered a small smile, though it didn't reach his eyes.
"Yeah. That thing was stronger than I expected of it to be, but it's gone now atleast."
Mateo scoffed from the corner of the room, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Gone? You don't even know what you're dealing with."
Kael's head snapped toward him, his jaw tightening with something within.
