Monster's Claim

The little omega distracted me, and I would pay the price for my inattention, but so would she.

***

I hadn't expected a monster to stumble across me as I was bathing, I'd just wanted to soothe the heat burning through my veins. I definitely couldn't have guessed he'd claim me in the stream, binding us together moments before my mother arrived to announce my fiancé was on his way.

She couldn't erase what happened, but she thought she could hide it long enough to obtain my bonding price.

Could I let another alpha override the Monster's Claim, or could I save my mate?
