A Mastermind? No, I'm just the Live-In Son-in-Law - Chapter 4: Slave Market

As a human, I should be miles away from any large shifter event. Especially the annual Mate Hunt.A hunt for mates. Doesn't that sound barbaric? Yeah, it's as bad as it sounds.Several packs in the area gather as their newly minted adult wolves shift. Females are let into the woods first and are given an hour's head start, just before sundown. Then it's time for the males, ostensibly thrown out to hunt down the scent of their fated (or chosen) mates.It isn't an event for the faint of heart, and it's definitely no place for someone who can't shift. So why the fuck am I here, running my little human heart out, chased by what sounds like an entire pack of wolves? Great question.

That was why the Emperor of Xian started doting on her, allowing her to become absurdly daring to do whatever she liked. This made the Empress speechless to tears.
That would be the cause of the kingdom’s downfall in the near future…
