Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Damien gave her one last cringy smirk before dissaparing into the field quitely. Viona too naively thought that he was just kidding and hauled up to get back inside the Mansion. In no way, she was going to have a naked bath with her hot Alpha. Even this thought sounded too dangerous and perky at the same time.

********

The full moon was up on that particular night. A haze of clouds were playing hide and seek games with the top branches above the mountains of Rainford. Viona was informed by Ariana that she had to pay a visit to the Parliament men tonight. Using this opportunity, Damien was going to introduce her as the Luna of Blood Moon Pack officially to the higher ups. But there was her punishment before running for the prominent figures.

Viona was picking a dress inside her room when Ariana pushed open the door with a friendly smile. Inside the pack, only Ariana respected her from the bottom of her heart.

Ariana questioned looking down at the purple colored fork,

" Luna, you will look beautiful with this color. Anyways, I have come to inform you that Alpha has summoned you inside our forest to get your bath done."

Viona was bewildered then growled back a little unhappily,

" What bath?"

Ariana held back a laughter behind her throat and replied with hesitance,

" Well..Wolf Royal Bath.."

Viona finally understood that Damien seemed to mention it before as the punishment. She waved her hands dismissively and answered while reaching for a pool dress,

" Fine! I will be joining him soon. Can you lead me over there?"

Ariana hummed softly and mumbled with a chuckle when she saw Viona attempting to wear her short,

" Well..I don't think that you would need that one."

Viona didn't pay much attention to her words and headed into the washroom to change her clothes. Coming out, she reminded Ariana with a deep voice,

" Have you brought my books from my pack house?"

Ariana shook her head denying and replied while reaching for the doorway to open up for Viona,

" Not yet. I was too busy during the day. I will get them for you tonight."

Viona smiled with relief and scowled at her formal behavior,

" Oh Ariana! Don't be so courteous with me. I hate it."

Ariana chuckled while shaking her head and led her downstairs to the way of their Special Poolside.

*************

Bats chirped over the heads of branches as the two walked through the road that was showering in moonlight. Viona could vaguely see that there was a natural swimming pool at the end of their path from distance.

Ariana stopped a few steps away from the pool and bid farewell with a mysterious smile,

" Okay, Luna. Alpha is over there. I can't proceed with you ahead anymore."

Viona felt a little uncomfortable at the way Ariana grinned at her. Uneasy regarding the surroundings, Viona offered gently,

" Ariana..Why..why don't you go with me? It's so quiet here."

Ariana laughed with humour and commented with a wink,

" You don't want me to see your husband naked all along, Luna? Do you?"

Viona was astounded after her words and was about to say something but Ariana had already left for the Mansion giggling playfully.

Viona sighed helplessly and began to pick her pace towards the poolside. When she came at the edge of that pool, she gasped in astonishment before turning crimson.

Inside the small pool, Damien was lent against the edge leisurely. His abs were dripping droplets and he imposed an aura of handsome ancient gods. Under the blessing light of the moon goddess, his wolf felt more dominant that Viona could sense as soon as she came nearby.

Damien snapped open his dark eyes and discovered Viona standing awkwardly. With a low chuckle, he queired teasingly,

" What are you waiting for? Are you inviting me to carry you down?"

Viona's face flustered as her growl came out a little nervously,

" Who is inviting you,huh! I am just wondering if you Royals have so much advantages. I have never heard such a thing called Royal Bath."

Viona blabbered and attempted to get down with her clothes on. Just when her feet nearly touched the surface of water, Damien's commanding voice echoed in the air,

" Wait, Clothes Off, Luna! "

Viona shouted almost instantly,

" What!! What!! "

Damien pretended to be innocent and explained patiently,

" It's a ritual, Luna. I am also naked under water. The Trevisan family has been following the protocols for years. It says that their Alpha and Luna should take bath together naked completely. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about Ariana."

Viona almost vomited after his words and wanted to shoot herself a thousand times. No wonder Ariana was behaving mysteriously and Damien was looking happy about her getting punished. She gritted her teeth harder and blurted out helplessly,

" Then look away when I change my clothes."

Damien frowned lightly. He was leaning at the opposite end of the pool and was going to enjoy her view but this woman was born to torment him to death. With a frustrated sigh, he walked through the water and settled himself pressing his back against her way. Then he spoke unhappily,

" Is it okay now?"

Viona found it relieving. Since he was turning her back, she was less ashamed to pull off her clothes. With a hum sound, she started stripping but failed to notice that her reflection was blazing clearly on the surface of poolwater clearly under the bright shine of moonlight.

Damien who pretended to be calm soon after murmured lowly with a hot sigh,

" Goddess!"
