Chapter 159: Piggyback
"How come you’re not naked when you’re shifting back into your human form?" Mineah suddenly questioned.
For some reason, not seeing his bare back and seeing the Mark of Etenity on it crossed her mind. She lost count of how many times they had been very intimate with each other, and she couldn’t help but feel funny at not being able to see his back like all those other times she did so.
"Seriously, Mine. You’re bringing this up now?" he chuckled and snorted. "I can always easily strip myself if you want to see me naked."
Mineah’s face reddened in embarrassment. Well, it wasn’t like she wanted him to be naked, but it would’ve been a nice bonus...
"Well, it’s not like we rip our clothes like werewolves whenever we shift to our mist form," Nikolai shrugged with a wink. "My clothes are still with me of course, and I’m just quick with getting back into it while shifting back into human form."
She could only nod as she finally felt her feet land on the ground. Looking up, they were near the foot of the mountain just as she had hoped.
"Is this distance from the mountain enough?" Nikolai asked.
"I think it’ll do nicely," Mineah nodded as she looked around. "I’ll need to double-check if his location around this mountain is still the same, but this will do. I’ll also need to use more of your energy, Lai, but..."
She trailed off as she fell into deep thought. She recalled how uncomfortable she was a while ago when they were being attacked by their enemies. That energy... If that was Zoran’s, then he was really strong enough to the point of somehow affecting her body. Also... what if they were able to hunt them down because she used Nikolai’s energy to create the tracking spell for Ezekiel?
