Polly leaned against Minoru. “She’s calm now.”

“Have you always felt her?”

“She has come to me when I needed her more than I have ever helped her.” She smiled as they slowly moved on the dance floor. “It was her reflexes that broke your nose.”

“I must thank her one day. It was that action that let me see you in a kimono for the first time.”

“Was that when you decided on the wedding instead of just pouncing on me?”

He smiled. “It was.”

She looked around at a few of the alphas and betas tentatively dancing. “Your matchmaking streak needs some work.”

“I will practice. I should have actually spoken to Olly before I summoned Feng.”

“You think? The fact that she already expressed her distaste for alphas should have been a clue.”

“I will speak with her when I next see her.”

“Do you think Feng will just leave her alone?” She looked at him hopefully.

“Oh, absolutely not, but he will change the manner of his seduction.” He cleared his throat. “Was Olly ever assaulted?”

“Sexually? No. Molly sold Olly to some upperclassmen, and they tried to attack her. She fought them off but was badly beaten in the process. When she left the hospital, she just disappeared.”

“Your sister sold her? For what?”

“A designer purse. Nothing too good for the household omega.” Polly grimaced.

“Well, I am planning on spoiling my beloved beta and our children. As is my family.”

She smiled. “I know. I have been kissed and patted all day. It was a very good day and nice to see other women in kimonos.”

“But your dress is gorgeous. I am also looking forward to the pictures. My family in Japan is eager for the emails.”

She smiled. “The gardens were beautiful. I hope Liirel charged you through the nose.”

“If we decide to keep it, she will. If not, Aggie got a hefty chunk for the landscaping.”

“Good.” She sighed. “I hope Olly is okay.”

“She will be fine. Feng might fumble a little, but he means well.”

“What about his beta?”

“Taio is devoted to Feng. He will come around if Feng orders him to, and as Olly is Feng’s mate, Taio will learn to take care of her as well.”

“Olly being taken care of. That is something I am looking forward to seeing. She is always the one fussing over others.”

“I thought that was what you were doing.”

“Fussing over you?”

He grinned. “I like it when you fuss over me.”

“Well, husband, it will last until the babies are here.” She chuckled. “You had better soak it all in while you can.”

He laughed. “In that case, I will start right now.” He lifted her high in the air, and she squealed as he tossed her and caught her in his arms in a bridal carry. “I now have my bride, and my hunt is over. I am going to enjoy it.”

They left their party with well wishes tossed their way.

It really had been a very good day, and many more days, months, and years loomed in their future together.
