When we meet in our room, I order some room service, dessert and after dinner drinks, and decaffeinated coffee for Mignon and anyone else that wants it.

Title of the document

“Okay, we need to make sure that we have something in place to help protect our fellow she-wolves. We all hit the mate jackpot, not just in looks,” I say, looking at Annabel, “but also in how well they treat us and how much they love and support us. But we all know that not everyone has or will get so lucky. And, while I think that the changes to the claiming process will help, we need to protect our own.”

“Agreed, so what do we do?” Mignon asks, looking at us. I pull out the form Mason gave to me earlier.

“We have to write out our petition, what we want to change, and the expectations we have. So, if we are going to make a change, if we’re going to protect our she- wolves, how should we start?”

“Well, first, we have to be able to see each other.” Mignon says.

“Good! Number 1, she-wolves will have complete and unlimited access to each other.” Hana says, writing it down. Since she’s taking the lead on this petition, we agreed that she would be the one to complete the petition.

“What else?” Hana says as she writes #1 down.

“We should be able to a*s*sist with pregnancies and deliveries.” Annabel says.

“Excellent, that’s number two, what else?” Hana says, furiously writing.

“We need to have an annual Luna meeting, just like they have an Alpha meeting. It could be at the same time, but we should have an opportunity to meet and discuss issues specific to us as she- wolves and any concerns that have been raised over the year.”

“Love it! That’s number three.” Hana says, writing it all down.

We all think for a moment. “Once a year isn’t enough and it doesn’t include all she- wolves. What if we have a monthly video meeting and every pack must have at least one she-wolf in attendance?” Hana says.
