The meet and greet with Rehyaa was scheduled, making the pack members so excited. The Omegas were also going to travel just to meet their future Luna. Everyone had many plans for her welcome but unfortunately, the pack was on a tight budget because of the ruins caused by the silver rain.

Even if they couldn't go all out, pack members did their best for their future Luna's grand welcome. Unlike everytime where the whole pack was decorated for the Luna's welcome, this time only the room where the meet and greet was going to be held was decked. The room was shining to its extreme and was garnished with paper flowers, which were made by the children to welcome their Luna.

Everyone erupted into cheers as Vivaan and Rehyaa entered the huge room, in their traditional clothes. Rehyaa wore her mother's sari, missing her the most on this important day. While Vivaan wore the sherwani, he had bought specially for this day.

Rehyaa's hand shook as she noticed that everyone's eyes were on them. Vivaan took a hold of her palm and squeezed it to give her some comfort. His actions didn't go unnoticed by the crowd and they all started hooting, making the couple blush.

One by one, every pack member came and gave blessings to their future leaders. Rehyaa felt overwhelmed with the love and made a vow to protect all these people with her life.

The function went by smoothly and towards the end, an announcement was made that astonished everybody. The announcement about the launch of grievance box. Many wanted to protest but kept quiet so as to not ruin their image in front of their future Luna. Hritika smirked at Vivaan, as she was the one who asked him to announce it today for the very reason.

Another announcement was made which relaxed more than half of the pack members. The grievance box was going to be handled by the youngsters, with little to no involvement of the current leaders. This was enough to calm down many members, especially the girls who had never felt comfortable about sharing their problems with the current Gamma.

Even if Vivaan and Yara had recognized the need of pack members sharing their problems, they had not realized how necessary was it actually. They were expecting the complains about bullying or someone abusing their power but along with that they the complaints about something they hadn't even thought in their dreams.

Although the leaders were working to recover their pack from the destruction happened by silver rains, there were many small things that had went unnoticed by the leaders. They were short on water supply as too much water had been used to douse the people and the sources of water had been contaminated by silver. The restriction from going into the forest, not only agitated the wolves but also stole the livelihood of many. And all this was just the start of the problems.

By this idea of grievance box, Vivaan realized that the leaders had just worked on the surface of the problems while the deep rooted ones were ignored.

They had started working on the problems and now the time for awareness program had come. The reason because of which they had started all this became their first topic of the program- Bullying the weak.

While working for the awareness program, Rehyaa too found herself learning new things. She realized that the many things which she had thought of a regular occurrence in her old pack, were actually abuse; more mental than physical.

Many were complying with this new face of the pack but there were some who backlashed. To deal with them, the future leaders used the good cop and the bad cop method. Vivaan and Rehyaa used politeness while Yara and Hritika worked with fierceness.

Everything was moving smoothly. While working together, the stiffness between Rehyaa and Hritika too started to get dissolved but––

There was always a but in between. Nothing could go on perfectly without any hindrances.

"Hello, you are my favourite among the future leaders," Rahul said, as he came to sit beside Rehyaa. He made a show of helping Rehyaa who had been painting the slogans for the awareness program.

"Umm..Thanks." Rehyaa was startled by his sudden presence.

Dipping the brush into the red paint, Rahul started his act. "I really feel bad for you. They all are taking advantage of your politeness. Vivaan has been flaunting his love interests in your face. I can't even imagine how agonizing it must be for you to have Yara and Hritika as your Beta and Gamma."

Yara and Hritika who were going to enter the room, stilled in their place when they heard him talking. From day one of this program, Yara and Hritika had been the one who stood up and fought the members who said anything wrong about/to Rehyaa. But this was different. They couldn't do anything but to watch Rehyaa's reaction.

Rehyaa started fidgeting, not meeting his eyes as he went on and on, speaking lies about the relationship of girls with Vivaan.

Rehyaa could stand up for the pack members but when she was the one, who was confronted, she went back to her shell.

"I...I don't believe you." She managed to choke out, before standing up to run away. She found the girls in question standing at the door as soon as she turned.

"You are really naive, future Luna while these girls are as cunning as a fox. Mark my words- they are going to stab you in the back." Rahul declared with confidence.

Yara was already having a hard time and had stood still only because of Hritika's support but now her patience had ran thin. She walked towards Rahul with long strides and punched him straight at his nose.

Rahul clutched his nose while cursing Yara in a loud voice. The sly man he was, mind-linked Gamma about the situation to snitch on her.

"Is this how you would react when things don't go in your favor? Pack members have the right to question you," Gamma yelled at Yara.

"Pack members have the right to question my capabilities and not my character." Yara responded firmly, before shutting down her mind-link.

Hritika took hold of Yara's hand and gestured her to leave this room, but not before kicking Rahul in the shin, making him fall down on the ground in agony.

"Thanks for trusting us. I was really scared that you would believe him," Yara said as they stopped where Rehyaa was standing looking wearily at the scene.

A sad smile crept upon Rehyaa's face. "I trusted you but I guess you didn't trust me enough to know that I would take your side."

Yara scratched her head sheepishly. "Sorry but it's not the first time when my friendship with Vivaan has been questioned and 90% of the times people have chosen to not believe me."

Rehyaa nodded in understanding before moving her head towards Hritika. "What about you?"

Hritika shrugged before answering, "I don't have a back story like Yara. You already didn't like my way of speaking with Vivaan so I thought...you know..."

"Aish! How many times should I apologize for that?" Rehyaa asked in an annoyed tone, before muttering under her breath, "This girl seriously knows how to hold grudges."

"Okay, okay, I will let go of that topic from now on." Hritika promised, raising her hands in surrender.

"Let's go," Yara said, looking back at sprawled form of the devil on the ground.

As they came out of the room, they saw Nihal and Vivaan standing there with wide smiles.

"Here comes our Powerpuff Girls," Nihal commented.

Gamma had already informed them about the situation, in hopes that they would make their mates understand about their fault. Unfortunately, the guys had the same opinion as the girls and were actually proud of them.

Yara and Rehyaa went to hug their mates. Hritika rolled her eyes at their display of affection and was about leave when she was pulled by the four pair of hands into a group hug.
