Bab 46: Suspecting Someone

Mineah frowned at Nikolai's words.

Assessing her confusion from her expression alone, Nikolai let out another heavy sigh as he added, "I need to practice my control without any other distractions or vampires around you that could sniff your blood as well. Seeing as this is a rather remote place, this is the perfect location for me to do so until I'm able to get myself used to your blood's scent. We also cannot do the Coupling Rites until then."

Still frowning, Mineah asked, "...And how long will that take?"

Nikolai hummed to himself in thought. He would just love to make things go on longer than it should, but they still needed to arrive at Valcrez in a reasonable time to formally crown Mineah as his queen.
