Olly got an invitation from her sister’s groom. She made sure that she was there on the day and watched every ceremony as it happened. Polly was glorious.

The only thing that marred the day was that her heat was starting, and the one man who could sense it was there. If she goes through a heat with him, there might be no result, but it would mean she might go a year with her body quiet and calm.

The mating is a disaster, but when it is over, she leaves her surprised mate and tries to resume her normal life.

Normal was never going to darken her door again.
