Chapter 194: Not Just A Nightmare
A loud gasp left Annalise’s lips as her eyes flew open and she immediately sat up on the bed. She hurriedly looked at her hand only to find that it was totally fine and not a single wound or prick could be seen anywhere on either of her palms. Assessing herself, it seemed like what she just experienced was nothing but a dream. However, she couldn’t stop thinking about how real everything seemed just a couple of moments ago.
"Are you alright, Annalise?" The soft voice that pulled her out of her shock belonged to none other than Valerius.
Annalise turned to look at the man who had also moved to a sitting position next to her, a serious and worried look was decorating his handsome morning face with his long disheveled silver hair falling over his broad shoulders.
Without wasting even a single second, she threw herself into his arms and buried herself in the warm security of his embrace. And while Valerius was clearly a little bit taken aback by her sudden action, he didn’t waste even a second to wrap his arms around her and hug her back.
He rubbed her spinee softly as he allowed her to use him as her stress reliever. He threaded his long and slender fingers into her long hair and brushed them down through her hair.
Annalise searched for her shared bonds with her husbands and found them instantly this time unlike what happened in that dream-like thing that she previously experienced in her sleep. As soon as she found the dark lords’ presences, she tugged on them hurriedly and felt all three men responding at once.
Valerius’ arms tightened around her as he responded to her call and both his ice and air moved to surround her from both inside and outside.
Kenric who was sleeping on her other side was also up by this point and his fire and earth were also surrounding her. On the other hand, Damien was not either on the bed or anywhere in the huge bed-chamber, his presence was somewhere on the ground floor but even he responded immediately as his shadow joined his brothers’ elements and cocooned her.
A deep sigh left Annalise’s lips as she finally started calming down because of the comfort and protection that her husbands’ provided. She could feel through the bonds that even though they barely had any idea about what was wrong with her, they were still ready to do anything yo help her in whatever way she wanted.
"What’s wrong with her?" The voice belonged to Damien as he too appeared in the room and considering how quick he was, he probably used teleportation.
Annalise felt him taking a place on the bed on he’d right just next to her legs and then she felt his hand on her feet as he pushed more of his shadow energy into their shared soulmate bond.
