After a three-hour journey, the group reached the bustling city of Beacon Hills. As they navigated the streets, Shippou and the twins marveled at the city's wonders, their eyes wide with amazement. Eventually, Koga and Ethan brought the carriage to a halt, and the six companions disembarked.
"I'll stay here with the carriage," Ethan said, handing out wads of cash to each member of the group. "Enjoy yourselves, but don't blow all the money in one go."
Gratefully accepting the funds, the group headed for the nearest establishment, a beauty salon. The salon's entrance was adorned with images of various beauty treatments, leaving Koga, Shippou, and the twins a bit perplexed.
"What exactly is this place?" Shippou asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"In places like this, you can get massages, haircuts, and mani-pedis," Inuyasha explained.
"And what's a mani-pedi or a massage?" Shippou inquired further.
Inuyasha replied, "A massage involves lying down while a professional helps relax your muscles, easing tension and stress. A mani-pedi, on the other hand, involves grooming and decorating your fingernails and toenails."
The group shared a collective expression of intrigue. "That sounds quite enjoyable," they murmured in unison.
"Want to give it a go?" Scott proposed, eyebrows raised.
With a chorus of nods in agreement, the group entered the salon. They were promptly greeted by a cheerful receptionist. "Hi, I'm Kira. Please take a seat, and someone will be with you shortly."
The group settled into the waiting chairs. Not long after, a salon associate approached. "Hello, I'm Hayden. How can we assist you today?"
Scott took the lead, detailing their requests. "First off, all seven of us would like hair trims. Additionally, my husband and I are interested in mani-pedis and massages. We've heard about a special course you offer for couples. Do you still have that?"
Hayden's face lit up. "Yes, and you're in luck! We're currently offering a two-for-one deal for mated pairs. Plus, our top specialists are available today for that very service. As for the young one?"
"Just a trim and a thorough hair brushing for him," Koga interjected.
With a nod, Hayden directed them to the salon chairs. Soon after, two more associates emerged, introducing themselves as Mason and Brett, specialists in the salon's exclusive treatments.
After several introductions from the salon's specialists and co-owners, Jackson added, "Hi, I'm Jackson, and I'm also one of the skilled staff for today's special."
Garret gave a confident nod, saying, "Hello, I'm Garret, and I'm here for the special service too."
Breaking the pattern, a man with an aura of authority introduced himself, "Greetings, I'm Deucalion, the owner of this fine establishment."
Following closely, another man added, "And I'm Deaton, the co-owner."
The group exchanged friendly waves and nods of acknowledgment.
"So, who among you is the fortunate mated couple taking advantage of our exclusive special?" Deucalion inquired, his gaze sweeping over the group.
"That'd be us," Scott replied confidently, indicating himself and Inuyasha.
Deucalion beckoned them with a graceful gesture. "Then please, follow me. I'll ensure your surroundings are tailored perfectly to your preferences. My skilled team will tend to your friends while we sort this out."
As Scott and Inuyasha followed Deucalion deeper into the salon, they soon arrived at a set of ornate double doors. After discussing their specific requirements for the session, Deucalion responded with an appreciative hum. "That's a rather unique request, not part of our regular menu. However, it's available for our distinguished mated couples and esteemed patrons."
"If our experience today is as sublime as we anticipate, expect repeat visits and a generous tip," Scott remarked with a smile.
Deucalion exuded confidence. "Rest assured, our specialty service boasts a stellar satisfaction rate. Many of our clients return multiple times a week, utterly captivated by their experience."
"That sounds promising," Inuyasha commented.
"Excellent. If you could both prepare by undressing, my team will join you shortly. Should you need, there's a restroom through that door."
Scott and Inuyasha nodded in thanks as Deucalion departed, affording them privacy. The two swiftly readied themselves, ensuring they were comfortable before the specialists arrived.
Meanwhile, Deucalion briefed his team. "Garret, Mason, Jackson, Brett—our clients today seek an extraordinary session, one that combines an erotic touch with the ambience of a cosmic and supernatural milieu."
The specialists nodded, readying themselves for the task. A few moments later, they entered the room where Scott and Inuyasha awaited.
Jackson took the lead, "We were informed you've chosen an immersive experience, merging an erotic sensation with a cosmic and otherworldly setting. Is that accurate?"
"Yes, that's correct," Scott affirmed.
Jackson's face lit up with excitement, "Great! Now, to provide the full immersive experience, we'll have to reduce our attire to just our boxer shorts and shift into our humanoid forms. Hope you're comfortable with that."
"That's fine by us. But, out of curiosity, could you elaborate on your specific forms?" Scott asked, intrigued.
Jackson smiled, "Of course. I am a Kanima-werewolf hybrid. Brett here is an alpha werewolf, much like yourself. Garret is a unique Lion-werewolf chimera hybrid. And Mason, our most recent addition, presented as an omega werewolf and is also Brett's mate. Do you have any other questions before we begin?"
Scott considered briefly. "Yes, I have a small request. Could Mason and yourself tend to Inuyasha while Garret and Brett assist me? I'll ensure an additional gratuity for the arrangement."
"That's no trouble at all," Jackson assured. "Now, how would you prefer we begin: with a more standard approach or dive straight into the sensual?"
"Let's start with the standard approach, gradually transitioning to the more intimate. Also, as you can see, Inuyasha is progressing in his pregnancy. Please be extra cautious with him," Scott added with concern.
"Understood. And congratulations on your upcoming additions," Mason chimed in with a smile.
The four specialists reduced their attire accordingly and transitioned to their humanoid forms. Mason and Jackson approached Inuyasha's table, while Brett and Garret headed towards Scott.
"Given your condition, we'll ensure a gentle touch, focusing on relaxation," Mason commented as he prepared to start.
"That's appreciated," Inuyasha responded, "Just be mindful of my abdomen."
"Of course. Please, call me Inuyasha," he added with a smile, "and my mate is Scott."
Jackson, taking his position, clarified, "So, I'll start on your upper body, and simultaneously, Mason will attend to your lower half. Is that acceptable?"
Inuyasha nodded, "I'm ready whenever you are."
As the specialists began their work, Jackson sparked up a conversation. "So, what brings you all here today?"
Inuyasha sighed with relaxation, "This was a unique outing for the boys. It's their first time outside the castle."
"Castle?" Jackson quirked an eyebrow, intrigued.
"Yes, a castle. My mate, Scott, is a king. The alpha getting groomed out there is actually my pack father."
Jackson's eyes widened with curiosity, "Really? That's very interesting"
Brett's ears perked up, equally curious, "Wait, your mate is a king? He wouldn't be the king from the renowned castle hidden within the Beacon Hills woods?"
