"Encouraging people to improve their lives?"
I asked with some confusion and uncertainty. But my eyes showed determination.
Lady Bernice's eyes narrowed a bit.
"You're challenging the structure of this pack." She finally said and I immediately understood something.
It was not that the former Luna didn't see or know what was happening with those women. She knew but she chose to turn a blind eye.
She chose to remain silent as mates oppressed their female companions. She remained uninvolved when fellow women became doormats for the male mates to trample on.
All in the name of maintaining the structure of the pack.
"That structure was already broken."
The words left my mouth before I could stop them. I realized that nowadays I was lacking a filter for my mouth, but I couldn't take the words back.
For a moment, the room felt colder. I knew I had overstepped my boundaries and Lady Bernice now felt like I was questioning her authority, but I wasn't going to back down either.
