To say I felt slightly ridiculous was an understatement. I was dressed in traditional wolf fashion. Pelt skirt and a top. I had to perform a dance for Grayson to wish him luck before the fight with my family that I wasn’t allowed to watch.

Luckily the other women of the pack would be beside me. I think I’d throw up if I had to do this on my own.

“You’ll do just fine,” Elizabeth comforted me as she put my hair up in a braided bun.

I don’t think I have ever been this nervous in my life. What didn’t help was that he would be watching these motions I was about to do felt wrong in front of a crowd.

“Grayson believes in tradition and these ceremonies are always fun for the people,” Elizabeth had told me a day or two before.

Now I had to head out into a crowd of people and dance for my mate.

“Oh and my family will be there. *

My back was bare. I felt the wind trace its finger along my skin tickling me. The ground was cool and calmed me.

Grayson didn’t like the idea of other men looking at me but this he’s okay with.

We walked out to the main grounds and I stood in the middle of the other women. There were drums, guitars, and a flute playing. I suppose it would be alright.

We all got into a formation and the music died down. Grayson was on a throne of sorts, the chair beside him empty. Everyone was watching.

“I just want you to be happy with me.

The drums started a slow beat and the women slowly moved together. The flute came in and I grabbed hands with the woman next to me twirling around each other.

I pushed my hands up to the sky and spun around moving in a circle with three other women. The beat grew stronger and I grabbed hands again and spun faster. I twirled on my own and moved my arms in fluid motions.

I moved my hips as I encircled another woman. I turned my head quickly and twisted in place I moved with the women

to the beat.

So far I hadn’t looked at him and I didn’t want to until the dance was over. Thinking of him my cheeks heated and I faltered my step but recovered before anyone could notice. I stepped slowly in a fancy pattern as the beat slowed.

“It was almost over

I spun on my own as the other women danced in place and stopped looking at him and panting. The other woman and I finished the dance in our places and I watched him the whole time.

He showed no expression to most people but the corner of his mouth was slightly upturned. He was relaxed too,
