“Don’t be mad,” the chief soothed evenly. “I really am busy right now. I just remembered I still need to patrol with my mates tonight.”

“Hm? Patrol?”

“Yes. I don’t know what race you are, but anything that can produce flames tends to come from a powerful race-those who usually don’t understand how hard it is for small tribes like ours to protect ourselves. For the tribe’s sake, the bonding will have to wait.”

Riven raised a brow. “Just bond with me first. It’ll only take a moment. I might even help you patrol.”

But before he finished, the chief’s mates began filing in one after another. It was obvious the chief’s taste had never changed-every single one of her mates was massive, built like they could crack the ground with one hand.

“Matriarch, it’s time for patrol.”

One mate draped a beast-hide cloak over the chief’s shoulders. Another two or three started nudging Riven toward the door.

They’re kicking me out?! Riven felt helpless. Neither Annelise nor that High Priest mentioned anything like this.

“Fine then! Two days. I’ll wait exactly two days!”

With that, he spun around and walked away, his mind already drifting back to the chickens at Annelise’s home.

Oh heavens… if she really gives me all five, then chickens lay eggs, eggs become more chickens-won’t that mean I can trade for endless clothes? Then I can burn fire however I want! Let’s see how those weak little fire-starters back home dare laugh at me for having bad aim.

But as he walked, everything in front of him began to blur. He shook his head and reopened his eyes, bracing one hand against a tree.

“This isn’t right… Why is my body heating up? I’m not even in my heat cycle-why do I feel

so weak?”

Then it hit him. Sh*t!

When he entered heat, his body released a thick sweet scent. Not the same as when he was attracted to a female-those moments only produced a quick burst of sweetness, meant to catch a female’s attention during courtship. After all, females were rare, and males competed

But going into heat was a disaster. During heat, the scent spread slowly across miles and miles, driving unrelated females into a daze and drawing them uncontrollably toward him. That was why males of his race always hid deep in the mountains or returned to their own. tribe during heat.

“Wait… The chief-did she figure out what I am Sh*t, I’m screwed. After strutting around many times, I’ve kicked the bucket this time…”

Riven forced himself to take two more steps, but couldn’t move any farther. He looked around desperately-he needed to get to that empty cave from before. If all the females in this tribe smelled him and rushed over, he’d be screwed.

In his race, drawing in too many females caused public disturbance, and that was punishable. Even other tribes forbade males from copulating with multiple females. Females were already scarce; doing something like that on purpose would have the shamans from surrounding tribes calling down divine punishment.

While thinking this, his body slid down the tree trunk.

Soon, he heard someone running over.

“Who’s-”

When he lifted his head, he saw a panting young female.

“An… Annelise?”

Annelise spotted the red-haired shifter immediately and sprinted faster, carrying a basket of leaves-the kind with a strong scent that could repel mountain snakes.

She reached him, breathless. “What is wrong with you?! Your smell has spread over 30 feet! If

my

house weren’t uphill and upwind, anyone with a decent nose would’ve caught your scent, and the whole tribe would be on you by now!”

Riven didn’t know what to say.

Annelise pressed, “What’s happening to you? This scent-can’t you control it?”

Riven paused, then nodded.

Annelise swung the basket over his back and pulled out a handful of the leaves, chewing them and pressing the mash over the arteries at his neck and wrists. It would suppress the

scent.

Then she held out her hand. “Give me your other wrist. Let me see if your endocrine system.
