Chapter 7

Reina’s POV

Rolling my eyes in disagreement, I walked past Julian, praying within me that will never happen. Just as I did this, I felt a voice speak to me. Have you forgotten you’re a nun? 

It hit hard as I’d almost forgotten who I am totally. This shouldn’t be so. I wasn’t even supposed to have a man in my heart but it felt as though I was betraying the moon goddess, yet I had to question myself. If she didn’t really want me to have a mate as a werenun, why did she give me one? 

To cool off my thoughts which were about to burst my head, I had to take a warm bath. The luxury of my apartment got to my head getting me excited. After taking my bath, I would love to explore and sure, Julian was going to do this. 

“This shouldn’t be a sin?” I asked myself. 

“No, it isn’t.” My righteous self responded. 

He walked behind me as I proceeded inside, not saying a word that I paused, turning around, wanting to say my mind but he was already quick to guess through.

“I’m sorry, your royal highness. I’m not supposed to be following you in here but I fear you don’t really know the rooms so please tell me where you want to go next and I’ll take you there.” 

My nostrils flared. Am I really sure I want to have him accompany me to where I want to go next? I thought up in my head. A nervous smile which seemed like a smirk broke between my lips, I narrowed my eyes, folding my hands across my chest. 

“Okay, no issues.” 

“I wish to have my bath, then explore the apartment with the palace. Hope you can help me with that?” 

“Yes, I can. Please follow me, Princess.” I stepped aside to let him pass but not too well. My bad. I’d dropped my hands off my chest that when his arm brushed slightly over my boobs, I flinched, standing straight. Hormones ignited. 

“I’m so sorry, your highness.” 

I did nothing other than smirk, a lustful one which I quickly tried to correct. 

We passed through several rooms which I couldn’t believe would belong to me before reaching the bathroom. A long walled glass entrance designed with gold greeted me. The door blended in with the walls, almost unrecognizable until Julian pressed a little button on the wall and it opened. 

We walked in. 

“Wooooowww.” 

I couldn’t stop the excitement as my eyes paced through it, from the luxury golden tiles to the luxury walls, I stood there breathless. Oh my God! The space was spacious, more than even ten people could bathe in. 

“This is for me?” I asked. 

“Yes, your royal highness.” Julian replied. “This is an ultra modern luxury bathroom befitting of an Alpha princess like you.” 

I blushed quietly, not knowing whether to take this as a compliment or answer to my question.

My eyes paced to the bathtub. A golden massive bathtub at the far extreme of the room with a glass rectangular box over it. 

“What’s that for?” I pointed at it. Julian turned sharply. 

“That’s the rose petals, scents and bubbles combo which you will need to prepare your bath.” 

“Who’s doing that?” I snapped with my eyes raised up. “Isn’t a maid supposed to do that?” 

“Yes, a maid is supposed to but this is not the royal time for bathe. A maid would be coming later, so I guess, you could wait till then.” 

“No, I can’t. I really need to have a bathe lest I would feel uncomfortable.” The day I was feeling in my head, I needed something to soothe me and that would be a cold bath. 

“May I ask Princess which you need so I can direct you. A cold, warm or hot bath?” 

“Urgh?” I faltered, my face twisting with confusion. 

“There are three—“

“Yes, let me show you Princess. The bathtub is for a warm bath. The shower over there for cold while the dispenser over there is for hot water. Each has temperature regulator.” 

It’s here I turned to notice that the bathroom had more than the bathtub. The hot and cold were enclosed in two separate transparent glass containers, giving the shape and vibes of an aquarium. Things seemed so complicated yet interesting than I’d thought. “I will have a cold bath.” Being familiar with a shower, I jumped up at the idea, I didn’t need any more lectures. 

“Okay, your highness.” Julian replied with a curt nod. After he said this, I watched him remain still, glaring at me, like he wanted to say something. 

“Don’t tell me you will still guard me right inside here? Come on, who’s going to hurt me here. I guess you should wait outside.” 

“Alright Princess. Everything you need is inside of there.” He uttered and turned to leave. I couldn’t help but shrug my shoulders, wondering what he wanted to do next. Even while we tried to act formal, our wolves were really trying to pull us together. I wanted him despite the pretense, the formality and desire to return back to celibacy but I couldn’t give in to my desires, most especially with such tense situation as I’ve found myself here. 

Everything I needed will surely be in here. I was sure for a standard bathroom like this. Turning back to make sure that Julian was out and had shut the door, I began to undress, placing my clothes on the glass platform beside the shower he showed as the cold, I stepped under it to take my bath. 

Swirling over with excitement, I pressed on the ON button, already imagining the bliss of the cold water draining on me and washing away my thoughts. I looked up, watching the water come down in a single stream but just right above my head, I sensed heat, a burning one. Before I could guess what was happening, I heard myself screaming at the top of my voice. My voice rang out in horror before I could hear it, I stumbled out in horror, stumbling and falling on the floor. 

The door of the bathroom bounced open and Julian stumbled in. 

“Your highness?” He growled in shock, his eyes went all wide as he looked at me, a feeling of shame and regret as he saw me naked on the floor.
