The dynamics between men and women always interested me, to some degree, especially within the shifter community.
It was a well-known fact that the females of almost any species were capable of more death and destruction than anything a male could come up with. And yet, shifter men looked at us the same way human men looked at their females.
Take my current situation, for example. We were locked together in a burning building, and even though I was the only one to know that it was burning, the shifter men still thought that they had the upper hand.
I would admit that in their human form, they would have posed a greater challenge to us. They were part of the criminal underworld in some way, shape, or form, or else I don't think that they would have received an invite to a trafficker auction.
