QUOTE : Sitting in his parents’ living room and fending off setup attempts<br /><br />made Zev realize there was a downside to empowering his pack to<br /><br />speak their minds—now he was forced to listen to them. Maybe he’d<br /><br />have been better off leaving things as they’d always been. Then<br /><br />nobody, and certainly not a female, even if she was an elder and a<br /><br />relative, would dare speak to the Alpha in such a condescending way.<br /><br />Zev dismissed the thought as soon as it entered his head. He was<br /><br />glad his family cared, glad his grandmother felt confident enough to<br /><br />question him, and glad members of his pack felt confident enough to<br /><br />share their feelings. The pack was stronger for it, even if it meant Zev<br /><br />had to endure this emotionally debilitating family intervention.
