Chapter 319: Art of Teleportation
The bright morning sunlight brought Annalise out of her deep sleep and back into the real world. She had to blink several times before her eyes got adjusted to the brightness.
"What’s with the sudden sunny weather?" She asked the only man who was still present in the bed beside her.
"It’s the castle." Kenric answered as he helped her to move to a sitting position before pulling her back to rest against his bare chest.
Annalise let out a sigh as she relaxed into her mate’s arms while her eyes took in the beauty of the white vines that were glistening under the bright sunlight.
"Where are Valerius and Damien? They are gone so early." She wondered out allowed as her hand found its way to Kenric’s arm that was wrapped around her torso, and she started trailing her fingers along his veins.
"Damien is helping Mr. Warren in the stable. Because of the cold, the horses were having a hard time. And Valerius is helping Garron to put on a protection spell around the vegetable garden to save it from the cold. It was so cold around an hour or so ago, but then the castle suddenly changed the weather to a sunny day." Kenric explained as he watched her playing with his hands.
Annalise nodded her head in understanding as she moved her fingers to interwine with Kenric’s. "Maybe it’s a good sign." She whispered while looking up and once again gazing outside the window.
Kenric didn’t respond with words but instead, he planted a sweet kiss on top of her shoulder before his lips made their way over to the side of her neck and eventually reaching her ear.
His warm breath fanned her ear as he whispered, "As long as you are here with us, everything is a good sign for me, Little Bird."
Despite the cheesiness in his words, Annalise knew that he was sincere about what he was saying. A warm smile bloomed on her lips as she turned her face to look at him and planted a kiss on his lips.
The two of them spent some more time together, just sitting in silence while wrapped in each other’s warmth, before they finally dressed up and went downstairs to join everyone for breakfast.
