Chapter 146

• Grayson
• Keera's first shift had been a triumph, and the pack cheered as she shifted again in their presence, staring in amazement at the beauty that was her wolf. She stepped into the glass house in her wolf form and shifted back in the house, stepping in the traditional outfit that had been provided for her; a flowing white gown that highlighted her beauty and elegance. Since I couldn't oversee my own mating ceremony, Ryan was in charge. He stood before the pack and made the required proclamations to the pack. I couldn't hold back the smile on my face as they cheered.
• For the next part of the mating ritual, Keera and I stepped into the house together, the pack's anticipation outside palpable. I shut the door behind us, ensuring our privacy, and turned to face her. I'd borne witness hundreds of mating ceremonies so it wasn't a new experience for me, but I could only imagine how she would be taking it. "How are you feeling?" I asked, my voice laced with concern. She managed a shaky smile and I could almost hear her urging herself to calm down.
