Chapter 235: Full Moon
In the end, Aunt Alexa was the one who arrived to pick up Mineah and directly sent her to Nikolai’s sacred haven at Mount Orion. Nikolai himself was unable to bring someone safely with him at the moment, and while she offered to use a teleportation spell, he didn’t want her to use any of her energy. So instead, she ended up simply obeying her dear husband.
"I’ll keep you company while we wait for Nikolai to arrive," Aunt Alexa said as she started touring her around the modified cave. To her surprise, it looked very cozy and comfortable from the inside as opposed to looking at it from outside the cave mouth.
"I’m sure you’re quite busy already, Aunt Alexa," Mineah reassured her as she walked around. "This place is protected by a strong spell, so I’m sure I can manage being alone."
"Alright, I guess I’ll leave you for now," Alexa chuckled. "Nikolai stations a lot of his men around anyway since he’s not confident enough with how he would react later. Are you sure you won’t get bored on your own?"
"Again, I’ll be fine," Mineah nodded. "Thank you so much for helping me out, Aunt Alexa. I’m sure Nikolai will be arriving soon. It’s getting dark anyway."
"Alright then, I’ll be going now," Aunt Alexa said with a wink before disappearing before her.
Finally left alone, Mineah took her time looking around. Raising an eyebrow, she then smiled as she noticed some of her wardrobe lying around. There were also a few things scattered about that she would need if it ever came to things.
Absently, she opened the protected storage box where a sample of her blood was kept in two bottles. She couldn’t help but wonder if these would be sufficient enough for Nikolai, but if it wasn’t, then Nikolai could simply get more through her directly.
She sighed as she felt herself over. She had been outside for almost the entire day, and she felt a bit sticky due to all of the sweat she accumulated. So despite the cold weather, she took a quick shower and changed into a more comfortable nightgown.
[What are you doing, Mine?] Nikolai asked her through the bond.
[Waiting for you...] she answered with a grin as she made her way to the kitchen.
