Chapter 189 Weird Appetite
Grilled lamb. Pork chops. Goose stew.
Annelise’s brain flooded with images of delicious food.
And just like that, her mouth started watering.
“No, no, nol”
They were kids, Sweet, adorable kids.
Why the hell was she thinking about eating them?
Finished
Everyone was still focused on the High Priest, so no one noticed her slipping away. She grabbed Riven and took off fast.
Once they reached the far side of the hill, she felt like her stomach was about to suck in her spine.
“Get me something to cat. Anything. I don’t care what it is.”
But all she could see was snow. Just snow.
Nothing edible was in sight.
Her hands started to shake.
She was so hungry, she wanted to bite the mountain.
Her teeth were begging her.
Her brain knew it was a bad idea, but her body was ready to go feral.
Right as she leaned in to actually bite the rock, Riven blocked her with one arm and pulled her into his
chest.
Her teeth landed right on his collarbone.
He flinched hard.
The pain shot through his shoulders.
Then he smacked her lightly on the forehead.
“Are you serious? You’re biting stone now?”
“I’m starving…”
Annelise started shivering all over.
Riven knew right away something was off. He scooped her up and took off into the sky, wings spread wide.
He headed straight for home. Her place always had roasted pork, grilled chicken, plenty of backup.
“Just hang in there.”

“I’ll try…”
But then, for some reason, Annelise started kissing his collarbone.
One kiss. Then another. Then she started nipping.
It got bad enough that Riven nearly lost balance.
Riven was flying high when it started.
That first bite to the collarbone? It made his whole body go soft.
One of his wings dropped out of formation. He lost control fast.
They both started falling.
Annelise let out a scream.

The jolt snapped Riven out of it. He twisted mid-air and forced his wings back open to stop the drop.

He got them upright again, barely. He shouted, “Little female! I was trying to carry you! And you… you bit my neck?!”
“Because… I’m starving.”
It was like som
sort of spicy chicken.
And Riven was definitely spicy.
Hot-tempered spicy. Not that she dared to say it out loud.
Riven groaned.
“I know you’re hungry, but that doesn’t mean you get to eat me.
“And after that first bite, it didn’t even feel like you were trying to chew. You were kissing me.”
He turned red just saying it.
“You can’t do that. You’ll make me crash!”
Annelise didn’t want to kiss him.
“But I’m so hungry… and if I’m not chewing on something, all I can focus on is my stomach.
“It burns. It’s awful. But then I remember you’re my official mate now. You’re the one I like…
“So I don’t want to bite you. I’d rather kiss you.”
“You…”
Riven couldn’t even be mad anymore. She said she didnt want to hurt him.
And that just melted him inside.
That kind of thing never used to affect him.

Now?
“You know what? Fine. You can kiss me. Just don’t chew.
“Chewing rocks will wreck your teeth anyway.
“How are you feeling now? Still freezing?”
Annelise rubbed her head against his collarbone..
It was warm and soft, and it made him feel weirdly peaceful.
She mumbled into his chest.
“Little better.”
Only a little.
Just a tiny bit. But Riven smelled really good. Like a flying furnace with perfect heat.
Even with the cold and the hunger, it kept her steady.
Then she leaned down.
Right below the collarbone… was his chest.
She kissed it. Then gently scraped it with her teeth.
Every time she did it, Riven’s wings jerked mid-air.
He grunted under his breath, trying to hold steady.
