Chapter 14

The three girls greeted him at the same time, it was their first time attending the ceremony in the palace. Commoners were known to attend the ceremonies in the streets; only the elite members of the park and special invitees from other packs were allowed to grace the occasion in the palace.

Immediately Clark turned to Mera, Alpha Adam was a bit relieved and he turned to Chris and said, "the one in the middle is Rita. Honestly, I pray Clark doesn't lose his senses and ask her for a dance."

Chris laughed as he watched Clark use his lines on Mera.

"And what is your name, my lady?" Clark asked and looked at Mera.

"My name is Mera, Mera Dil," she said and smiled.

"Well Mera I would say you are Athena the virgin goddess of beauty," Clark said and grabbed her hand.

Mera smiled and she was already blushing, "thank you, sir, you are also handsome," Mera said as she was already attracted to Clark.

Clark smiled and asked, "would you allow me to navigate your hips to the dance floor?"

Mera has never felt this way, she could feel butterflies in her stomach. She just nodded her head and Clark took her to the dance floor and they started dancing.

Rita and Sophia walked to the seats and sat down, the crowd then focused on their previous activities; it was like the tension had died down.

"It is indeed a beautiful occasion," Rita admitted.

"Yes it is beautiful, but not as fun as the mating ceremonies we hold in the streets," Sophia said.

"Well I thought you guys would be mating," Rita was confused, she was expecting a parade of wolves having sex.

"Yes after this night newly married couples and old couples can have sex, the ceremony is just to celebrate the heat of mating and the one that happens in the palace allows wolves to mark their mates in public. If they wish to do so," Sophia explained how it works for Rita.

Rita was fascinated with the experience and was happy that nobody was going to rape her as she earlier thought. While she was sipping her glass of wine, she was tapped by Alpha Adam. She turned around and glanced at him.

"Adam, it is a nice mating ceremony not what I expected to see, but it is still nice," Rita said and smiled.

"What were you expecting to see?" Alpha Adam asked as he was fascinated by what he heard.

"I was expecting to see lots of people having wild sex like animals," Rita said and laughed.

Alpha Adam was not too comfortable with the way Rita was talking, he knew he had to control her and her impulse. He smiled, turned to her and said, "well I am glad that's quite the opposite, come and let me have this dance."

Rita did not hesitate and started dancing with Alpha Adam.

Chris was a shy guy, he knew he was supposed to approach Sophia. He already had a thing for Sophia. Sophia looked elegant and was very beautiful. He was also attracted to dark women although he was a pure caucasian by skin color.
