Mated to the Night Wolf
The Hunt is a monstrous event.
"It takes place during a mating, the mating. Rogues, traitors-" Asils gaze flashes round the rest of us, "slaves-are hunted and killed."
The human's eyes widen, "A mass execution?"
Silence draws again but Asil nods.
"They say you can survive, that if you outlive the day, freedom and restoration are given for the rogues, traitors, and even slaves. Status is returned," her gaze shifts off the human, shaking her head, "I think it is a myth. None ever survives. Not when the Alpha's hunt."
