This is a paranormal winter short story. The first part of this story appeared in Stormy Glenn's Winter ManLove Fantasies Blog Competition of 2017.)Quilo Whittaker is an abominable snowman shifter who loves to travel. His father is the alpha of their tribe and very old fashioned. Both of his parents share the same ideals. When Quilo expresses an interest in men, his parents make it their mission to see him married off to a woman they choose while he keeps a male lover on the side. However, Quilo isn't that kind of man, which leaves him with only one option. Find his fated mate before he's forced to marry a woman.Riguo Santos is a rattlesnake shifter and the alpha of his pod. He lives in Death Valley and has a love/hate relationship with his car, Pumpkin. She's a classic that needs a lot of work which is how he ends up stranded on the side of the road while on his way to an annual meeting of Alphas from the entire United States. Instead of walking the road and getting to the meeting hall safe but late, Riguo takes a shortcut, only to get himself caught in the middle of a snowstorm.Neither of them have any issues with being mates and dive head first into their relationship. However, there are still obstacles ahead. Will Quilo and Riguo be able to face what's coming and come out on the other side unscathed or will the people working against them succeed in severing the tie that binds them together?(Warning: Contains sexual content and explicit language.
