Amohelang 'Amo' Tlotliso Mofokeng
Amohelang stood by the edge of the crowd. The whole pack had gathered for a feast. He had long become of age but his father was yet to hand over the reigns.
He watched that poor hungry dictator laugh and dance as the pack members sang and beat the drums. He could hear the praise poet recite the Mofokeng clan names in honour of his father, the big alpha.

Ke mofokeng yo motlatla,
Wa ha matodi masana suping,
Ha baya dijong,
ha ba hadimane,
Ke mahadimana ntweng,
Heee!!
Le idirileng phoka ha e lela pharahaneng ha majwe,
Ha eke e lela e sa utlwa a maholo,
Ke motho wa,
Thabethe Selalome,
Ke Phoka
That should be him but he was be kept from his rightful place at the throne. He sipped more of his beer as he watched Mantoa approach him.
"What's the big bad alpha doing here alone?"
"What do you want Mantoa, stop with the small talk. It's the language of conmen."
She adjusted her dress before lowering her voice. "Dick, I want some dick."
"Good girl. I like a girl who knows what they want."
