Chapter 98: The Dark Lords of The Midnight Realm
When Annalise woke up the next time, she was still in the same bed and inside the same huge royal bed-chamber that was filled with darkness except for the few lanterns that were providing dim lighting.
She turned around and found the other side of the bed empty. She was all alone in the room as it seemed like Damien had left at some point when she was sleeping. As for the other two lords, she hadn’t seen them ever since she lost her consciousness in the Enchanted Forest.
Stretching her limbs to get them working, she wrapped the soft black blanket around her body to cover her nakedness before she finally dared to climb down the bed.
She badly needed a bath after spending the night with Damien. Her body and hair were a mess. Her cheeks burned just by thinking about the memories of what she and the Second Dark Lord did under the sheets.
Her bare feet touched the cold tiles as she walked toward the other side of the chamber. She noticed the obsidian rocks that were fitted in the walls and after seeing them again and again so many times, she now finally understood why they were present almost everywhere she had been in this new place - obsidian represented the shadow energy.
And since it was Damien’s living quarters and he was the heir of shadow powers, there was obviously the presence of obsidian all over the place.
She felt the shadow power running all around the room but instead of getting terrified of it, she actually felt calm and comforted by its presence. Her powers were ready to come out and play with the darkness that was nothing like the dark energy that attacked her the previous night.
Heir of Shadow...
Annalise recalled this particular title from the vows she and Damien took during their wedding ceremony and since her mind was finally able to think about things other than what her body and soul wanted from Damien, the realization finally dawned over her.
