With no regard for Victoria's newly found mate Garthe The Vagabond, Morrissey will marry her off to Pierce, notorious alpha of Citeclaws pack... It's not entirely his fault. Morrissey needs all the help he can summon to fight off the Redswarms, a formidable enemy pack, but none comes—mostly because of his reputation. However, after sending out a second letter to all and sundry in Nevada county, Pierce agrees to help, but only after Morrissey gives his eldest daughter to him in marriage. Yet, his guard must first confirm that she's virgin. It's an absurd arrangement, so Victoria will not go—partly because she's not a virgin. Or that's just what she makes her parents believe. But the condition still needs to be satisfied, the lot has to fall on another... Ella, their younger adopted daughter. However, now, none of them gets to decide what happens next...
