Chapter 19: Sparks and Fire
Annalise once again found herself locked in Lord Damien’s arms and once again, her heart was racing as if it was competing in some sort of racing competition.
"Damien?"
It was Lord Kenric who spoke or more like questioned his brother as he eyed the Lord who was standing right behind Annalise with both his arms wrapped around her small frame. Somehow, she fit perfectly into his embrace, as if she was meant to be.
"What?"
She heard Lord Damien responding to his brother and once again his warm breath fanned her skin, making shivers run all over her body. But knowing that she won’t be able to get out of his hold even if she tried, she just stood there in silence while watching the unexpectedly heated exchange between the Lords.
"You promised something, brother. How can you go back on your words just after a few hours?" Kenric questioned as he took a step closer to Annalise and Damien but stopped when he noticed the flicker of crimson in his second brother’s eyes.
Kenric shared a look with Valerius who had been silently watching everything. ’What is he trying to do?’ he asked the latter through the mind link that they shared.
Valerius was silent for a few seconds before he responded through the mind link, ’He’s trying to read her powers.’
Damien had the special ability to read the powers of others. Even if they were hidden, he could still find them and their lineage.
