I bite the inside of my cheek to stop myself from laughing.

Sawyer is just as awesome as Leah is. They’re well matched.

The Alpha is sacrificing himself publicly, in the same way that Leah did.

I never thought that I’d come on this contest and find people who I hope will become my friends.

How many Alphas, especially Governors, would be prepared to make fools of themselves like this?

Because no matter what I do, it can’t be as bad as his dance, right?

Sawyer finishes, panting. “My talent is unforgettable, hmm?”

Jin takes several attempts, before he manages. “Uh-huh.”

I give Sawyer the thumbs up, and he grins.

Jin’s long-lashed eyes turn to me. “Your turn. It’s just moving your arm and swaying your hips.”

So speaks a dancer.

My mouth is dry.

My knees feel like buckling. I battle to lock them, before my dance is little more than me falling on my ass.

I try to imagine the beat of Jin’s song “Set Free” in my head. I hum it as I wildly point my arm around.

Where’s it meant to go again?

Shit, something about my chest…?

I thrust out my boobs because that can’t hurt, right?

Easter snickers.

I sway my hips side to side, putting as much effort into it as I can. I toss my hair and smile.

Startled, Jin looks like he’s about to step forward and grab me.

Am I doing it wrong?

“Are you having a seizure?” Easter laughs. “Someone stop the idiot, before she breaks something.”

I redden, stumbling onto my knees.

I’m puffing and out of breath.

I definitely don’t look sexy in the way that Jin does when he dances.

Embarrassed, I look up to meet his gaze.

What do I expect?

Pity?

Amusement?

Contempt?
