"I will get her to dance," Freddy whispers to Katy and Katy laughs as they fall behind me to conspire. I catch up to Harris and I'm about to say something but I forget when I see the sight in front of me.

The trees around the main house are filled with green lanterns that give an earthly effect to the white tables lined out in front of the house. There is a made up stage with a band playing gentle music as a couple dance and everyone watches them. My eyes are drawn to them as they sway to the music and the man spins the girl with long brown braided hair in a light green dress and I see her back. All the way up her spine is a tattoo like I've never seen, it looks like vines but it clearly makes a symbol I don’t know. There are three wolves on her back, with them all looking like they are real as we get closer. I look over to see two other men, watching the couple dance but they are just watching her. There’s no jealously on their faces when I realise they are her other mates and the song ends. The couple walks over to them and one of the other guys pulls her into a passionate kiss. The others don’t look away and it’s strange to see, not a bad strange but still, it’s something else.

"That's a mating mark, whatever our mates are born with on them; we get an equal one appears once a mating is completed," Katy whispers.
