A pair of females approached carrying two beautifully woven flower garlands, and the elder nodded.
"Exchange your blessings."
Asher carefully lifted the first garland before placing it around Aurora's neck. The colorful flowers rested gently against the crimson fox hide she wore.
Aurora then accepted the second garland, and then standing on the tips of her feet, she carefully slipped it over Asher's head.
The surrounding tribe immediately burst into another wave of applause.
The elder slowly lifted both hands.
"May the Beast God watch over this union."
"May your strength protect one another."
"May your descendants prosper."
"May your home forever know warmth."
As one, the entire Wolf Tribe echoed the blessing.
"May the Beast God watch over this union!"
The voices of hundreds of wolf beastmen rolled across the mountains beneath the light of the twin full moons.
