Alrakis took Sirrah to one of the lit pyres where the wolves are dancing. They bow to the royals and then continue with their mating dance. Sirrah saw a woman between two wolves, dancing to the drum beats. The wolf behind her coiled his arm around her waist, while the wolf in front of her was holding her possessively.
Alrakis smiled at them and then walked away. He led Sirrah back to the palace in a carriage.
