Physical changes

Balvina stood still on the edge, as the Wildrift was sailing on the calm ocean water. Her smile is imperishable while looking at the fish playing in the water. They are as free as the place they were, she thought. Balvina extended her hands trying to reach them but she couldn't. Upon staring at the water, she noticed something too. Balvina could also clearly see her reflection in the water, which made her wonder about the appearance she had. Bal subconsciously looks at Monta and the rest of the girls on the ship. She couldn't take her eyes off them, seeing how nicely looking they were. Wondering if she could be as nice looking as them too. Admiring another girl without knowing that her beauty is unrivaled, she's pitying herself.

‘Why do I look different?’ She took her hair and tried to run her fingers through it. Unlike before, her hair was now only at her waist level. Monta decided to cut the rest off for her safety and personal hygiene. That time Monta helped Balvina get thoroughly cleaned. Her nails are also short and clean now. Maybe not as clean as the others, but she thought it was so much better than before. Bal could also say that her uncanny smell is wearing off. She happily sniffed herself and was satisfied when she smelled the scent of flowers that Monta gave her. Balvina finds Montas' gifts for her are perfect and priceless.

“Dear Luna, do not get that near to the edge of the wall. It's dangerous. Apha Kaylon is so busy. He personally asked me to take good care of you. Don't worry, I won't bite, and I'm a good and gorgeous woman like I always say. I'm glad to serve you again.” Bal awkwardly smiled because she didn't understand much of those words. Monta also bowed to her, which made her feel special and important. As she observed, people around the wildrift often bow to Kaylon and to her. So Balvina assumed that she's as important as Kaylon too.

“Errr! Look at you! Your cheek is turning red. It's hot outside. Your skin is not familiar with that heat yet. It could burn you. Just so you know.” She just keeps on staring at Monta, and she finds her adorable. Balvina was tilting her head having fun while looking at Monta’s constantly changing expression.

“Errr?” Bal asked while pointing at her reddish complexion. She was thinking that maybe Monta was annoyed because of it. The reason why she felt like being under the sunlight is because she loves the sensation of being burned by it. The feeling of being there and be part of her new world was relieving her from those previous nightmares and mishaps she'd been.

“Yeah. That's not a healthy glow. That's a dangerous one. It's what we call sunburn,” Monta said, and dragged her back to the cabin. Although the sun was not shining brightly, Bal had stayed too much under it so it affected her skin. Kaylon didn't want to disturb her because he could sense peace in Balvina's aura. Monta wanted to say that but she knew that her Luna would not understand it yet, even a bit.

“Let’s get you to wash, dress and eat plenty. I bet you need that for your first night together with the Alpha. I can still see that he hasn't marked you yet. Let me see your neck? Uhm . . . That's gorgeous white. Like I want to bite it myself.” Bal was staring at Monta’s rossy checks. She was wondering why Monta suddenly turned red even though they were no longer under the heat of the sun. She subconsciously held her cheeks.

“Let me see your teeth? Oh! It's amazing how your body is doing well. It's like you weren't locked up in that scary place at all. Even your skin looks perfect and untouched. Except for those skin scars. Your teeth didn't even come off during our process of removing those heavy tarts. Awww . . . How I wish I had these amazing healing powers like yours, Luna Balvina.” She could also feel that her body was doing great. And unlike before, it's no longer difficult for her to walk straight. Her bones were voluntarily healing themselves. She's no longer slouching like she used to do. Her feet and whole body soreness had been healed too.

“It’s maybe the effect of being dearly loved by your mate. Hay . . . I just wanted to be in love too . . .” Monta mumbled, as she was gently scrubbing Balvina's back. She was now utterly naked, except for her precious jewel, because Monta always made sure that it was properly covered. Bal tried to take the cover off her jewel. She never cared about it before. No bath, no changing of clothes, no any hygienic activities. Just eat, sleep and play. Living like a complete animal, rather worst than an animal.

“And that's for the Alpha's eyes only.” Balvina couldn't help but giggle. Even though her voice is still a little raspy, she can now tell that it's way more beautiful than before; her voice has now become lively and recognizable.

“Ehhh . . . Even your voice sounds lovelier day by day. I bet Alpha Kaylon is madly and deeply in love with you. It's a good thing for him and for us. I'm thankful that you brought his innocence and lively side back.” While listening to Monta’s light speed like talking, Bal embraces herself. She could feel the sudden cold surrounding her naked body.

“I’m sorry, Luna. Here. Let's get you covered and dry.” And when she stood up. Monta’s jaw almost fell to the floor. Balvina's brow furrowed when she noticed that Monta was intensely staring at her.

“Yo-you did grow? Let me see clearly . . . You are no longer slouching! God! How I wish I had your prowess, dear Luna. I can't wait to make you wear this dress. Tadah!” Balvina was now staring at the fully long white dress with its visible excess clothing around it.

Balvina was scratching her head trying to comprehend about Montas’s unstable emotions.

“Come on, dear Luna. Wear this. Let's surprise our dry as a desert Alpha Kaylon.” The soft cloth that was covering her naked wet body fell onto her feet. Monta, who stands five feet and eight inches tall, was now looking up at her. The long gown fits perfectly at Balvina like it was personally and intentionally made for her.

“You’re like a six-foot-tall white woman now. A giant, perhaps. Ah! I couldn't wait to show you off outside. The Goddess would get the word envy if they could see you.” Even though she was no longer slouching, Balvina was still certain that she's the same. Especially the way she walks and talks; hiss. Balvina was aware of these. Which makes her feel less confident about herself.

“It fits perfectly. I wanted the late Luna to wear this before. But . . . Oh. I no longer want to remember it. Come on, Luna Bal. One step at a time.” Balvina almost tripped trying to change her way of walking. But whenever she made a step, her feet wobbled and so was her whole body.

“No! Don't walk like that, dear Luna. Look at me.” She then started to mimic Monta’s every step. Monta was mentoring her patiently, which inspired her to do better—but it wasn't enough.

“Ah, hehe. Nevermind. We still have plenty of time. You will learn how to walk properly in no time. Within one week, before we reach our island, you will be as good as a woman they've never seen before.” Monta was holding her hand while helping her carry the hem of her gown. Balvina didn't find the dress ugly. She just felt that it was not fit for the occasion, or it doesn't suit her. Bluntly speaking, Balvina felt like the dress was too beautiful for her.
