I've never been anyone's first choice. I would have been happy living life on my own, but that wasn’t allowed, and my heat was coming. I had to choose an alpha before it was too late, but I didn’t want any of the ones in my village, because they didn’t want me as I was. I wasn’t their idea of a perfect omega. Then the gifts start arriving on my doorstep. Things that were thoughtful, useful, not pointless little trinkets. I never got to see the mysterious alpha wooing me. He came in the night, and all I had to identify him was his scent. When I gave in and followed that tantalizing smell, I found more than I bargained for, but maybe the monster could give me something those other alphas couldn’t. ***This is the second book in the Monsters in the Mountains series. This novella features a curvy heroine and can be read as a standalone.***
