Her First

In front of the Paru, one of the twelve female Graniliths. 

But she was different than the others, in more ways than one.

First of all, she had no bruises or cuts on her body, despite the group fighting. She wasn't covered in blood or had drops of blood that weren't her own on her body. In other words,

'She didn't fight, huh? Waited for your turn patiently instead… That's not as arousing, you know?'

Her hair was much longer than that of the other female Graniliths.

Most had rather short hair. 

Two had no hair at all. 

The reason for this was simple. 

It is a Granilith ritual for the females to cut their hair using the sharp points on the Alpha's body, after their first night with the Alpha. 

The first night with the Alpha only happens when the female is taken from another tribe, or after her hair has grown enough to reach her butt.

The female Granilith was the daughter of the Alpha and another female.
