"Monster's Healer"

Stumbling across a monster while looking for herbs was a shock. It took a moment to get over the fear, but I’d always been more curious than was healthy. His injuries were serious, infection threatening to ravage his body. Anyone else would have walked away, but I couldn’t leave him in pain. The plan was to put him out of his misery, but when he spoke, I knew I couldn’t do that. I had to try to heal him. The problem was, it was fall. I could already feel my body preparing for my first heat. He was an alpha, and if I stayed with him too long, I might never get away… Because claims are for life.
