Chapter 369: In Search of Light (Part One)
Damien brushed away the strands of hair from Annalise’s cheek who was already fast asleep after he and his brother had finally exhausted her.
"I really thought that she would need rest after her time with Valerius this morning, and also because of all the worry and anxiety she faced throughout the day. Little did I expect to find her this needy." He confessed as his fingers traced the soft skin of his mate’s face.
Kenric chuckled in response as he snuggled closer to their sleeping mate. "Don’t underestimate her brother. Our wife is always full of surprises."
The corners of Damien’s lips stretched with a smile as he too got comfortable next to their wife. Her small body was perfectly sandwiched between the two of them.
He then turned his gaze toward Kenric and as if sensing his attention, he too looked up. "The two of us will be taking over our assigned tasks coming morning. Hopefully, she will be able to handle things on her end as well."
Kenric’s expression became serious and he once again took a glance toward their sleeping mate before responding - "She’s strong."
Damien nodded his head in agreement as there was no denying that particular fact. "She is."
"Then let’s not worry about her. I’m sure she will handle things perfectly on her end. We can trust her with that. Also, Esmeray will be there with her. He will look after her for us." Kenric added.
Damien nodded his head in agreement. Though he never found any reason to trust Esmeray completely, somehow, they all knew that he would never betray Annalise. That knowledge was their only reason for putting hope into the King of Darkness.
Now, all they could do was wait and face what was heading their way.
