It looks like the decision was eventually made to include the novella with the first book after it was done and on shelves. She mentions that this novella is somewhat necessary to start the first book, but she felt it would’ve been a disservice to rehash it to start Cry Wolf since some readers would be paying twice for part of the story.


It was supposed to be a standalone for On The Prowl, but she and her editor enjoyed the story so much that it expanded it into a series. She also explained how this novella was written at the request of her editor. So, I plucked the hardcover for Cry Wolf, which includes this novella, from my shelf and read the introduction by Briggs that mentioned that this series is a spin-off from her Mercy Thompson series. I decided to (finally) start Patricia Briggs’ Alpha & Omega series on a whim when I’d finished all the books I’d planned to read for March much earlier than expected.
