She came searching for an alpha to claim her, and who was I to deny the omega her desire?
***
I couldn't take another moment of derision. The alphas of my village had put me down for the last time, their rude comments pushing me to abandon my home in search of a new one. I'd heard the rumors. The whispers of monsters stealing human omegas to claim as their own. I wasn't foolish enough to think I could survive on my own in the wild, so climbing the mountain had seemed like the best choice. By the time he found me I had been half convinced I would die alone, but his scent was enough to trigger my heat.
One way or another, I would wear the Monster's Mark, and the other alphas would never hurt me again.
