Chapter 0622 Nina

"I don't think it's such a good idea to bring your friends here, to the werewolf realm."

My mother's admission left me utterly bewildered, like a puzzle with missing pieces that refused to fit together. I stared at her, my eyes wide, as I tried to make sense of what she had just told me.

"What?" I asked, standing. "Why?"

My mother sighed heavily and passed a hand over her face. "Honey," she began, "you've got humans in your 'pack *. It might not be such a good look. You might face a lot of discrimination. I just don't think it's such a good idea."

"But mom," I said, exchanging glances with Enzo, who looked just as bewildered as I felt, "you and Tyler are humans and you're fine. What's the big deal?"

My mother held up her hand, cutting me off gently. "Look," she said, "ever since the last Luna started with her scheme to eradicate all humans, she garnered some... attention."

"Attention?"

My mother nodded. "Some people sympathized with her; they believed that shifters were the superior race, and that humans were lesser. For a pack with non-shifters in it to arrive at the Moon Goddess Festival gala, it could cause a lot of unrest."

"But my dad is the Alpha King," I insisted. "Can't he just... I don't know, outlaw that sort of thing?"

*Honey, it's not that simple," my mother said with a sigh. "There are even Alphas who sympathize with the anti- human rhetoric. It's a very nuanced topic, and it's not just something that he can outlaw and be done with it."

I glanced over at Enzo, hoping for some sort of explanation, but he looked just as confused as I was. *Enzo?" I asked.
