Along with its original motto, the awareness programme became a stepping stone for Yara as a Beta. The way she lead the programme made the whole pack realize her worth. And they finally started seeing her in a new light. The female Beta finally started receiving respect and acceptance from the pack members.

Movies, plays, small skits, puzzle rounds, games; they tried everything they could to let the pack members gain the knowledge in the fun way.

The awareness programme was a hit and it had spread a lot more than the previous one about bullying. Other packs, rogues, and lone wolves too got a hint of it and that started a new wave.

Midnight pack got a few new members once the fact about Vivaan accepting the chef and the warrior as mates in his pack got out. While most of them were the couples who came for a shelter in the pack that accepted them, there was a person who came there to get some answers.

Rakul, the one who had left his own pack long ago, tired of the constant bullying. He didn't know what was wrong with him. A male having a female wolf, forget about others, he wasn't able to understand himself. There were lot of questions and no one to answer. But now, a hope had risen.

Rakul wasn't sure if he would actually find an answer seeing that most of the refugees were couples who loved the same gender. However, he was here to understand his own identity. But what he was certain about was that he would be accepted in the pack. He wouldn't be ridiculed for having a female wolf. Even if he didn't get answers, he would at least be accepted as he is.

Vivaan called Yara, Nihal and Hritika to the Midnight pack for a meeting as soon as he accepted Rakul in his pack.

While Vivaan, Rehyaa and Yara didn't have any clue about the reason why Rakul had a female wolf, they had expected from Hritika and Nihal to know the answer.

"I cannot be too sure," Hritika had said.

"Isn't there anything that can relate to my situation?" Rakul asked, on the verge of loosing his hope.

"You can be a transgender woman, but I am not sure if I am totally correct."

"What does a transgender woman mean? And if you know the meaning then why aren't you sure if Rakul is one?" Vivaan questioned, hoping that the answer would bring some clarification.

"A person who was labeled as a male during birth but has the gender identity of a female. But I cannot say for sure as Rakul himself doesn't feel like a female, his wolf does. However, my knowledge is limited to the human world and cannot say if there are slightly different parameters for werewolves."

"Then?" Rehyaa asked, feeling bad for Rakul who came to them with lots of hopes.

"Talk with your wolf and accept her. You two are one. Once the acceptance seeks in your heart, things will start getting better. Transgender or not, we have our whole lives to find an appropriate label. With or without label, acceptance is something you will have to work on. And we promise to be with you in the every step," Yara said, promise showing through her eyes.

Hritika too decided to start searching for answers. She might not find it soon, but she was surely going to find an answer to it.

They didn't even realize when the days passed and the end of the awareness programme came near.

"How should we end it? It has to be something that puts the final arrow in everyone's heart?" Hritika asked Nihal and Yara, while they were having breakfast in their home.

"What can we do? We have tried almost everything I can think of...," Nihal wondered.

"So there's nothing." Hritika frowned.

"Umm...I was thinking something," Yara started, making the cousins lean towards her with eager eyes.

"Go back, you are making me conscious," Yara said, making them laugh but they did as she requested.

"The pack members have only seen struggling and scared members of this community. The only well off people from the LGBTQ community were the fictional characters of the movie.

"How about we let them meet or show videos of real people who are actually doing good in life?" Yara suggested, looking at the cousins hopefully.

"The idea is great, but where we will find them? The werewolves are just coming out of the hiding and most of them are still at the early stage of acceptance," Hritika questioned, dampening Yara's mood.

"Don't pout. Nothing's over yet," Nihal said, ruffling Yara's hair, before speaking again, "Werewolves are new to these, but humans aren't. Let's shoot the video of humans in three different stages- the ones who have made big names out there, the ones who aren't rich but are still well settled and living peacefully, and the ones who have just accepted themselves but their hearts are full of hopes."

Yara hugged Nihal as soon as he finished and gave him a peck on his cheek, as she danced internally with excitement. He gave wings to her idea, helping her fly. She soon let go of him as soon as she realized that Hritika was also present with them. Nihal coughed out of embarrassment, while Yara looked here and there, not meeting Hritika's eyes.

Hritika shook her head, laughing at the blushing couple. "Chill. I am not a old geezer. I can handle this amount of Pda."

"Let's get back to the work," Yara said, forcing herself to sound normal and change the topic.

"Yeah, let's do that. We don't have enough time," Nihal agreed.

Hritika snorted at their obviousness, but didn't call them out.

They soon finished the breakfast and got back to work. Yara and Nihal started the preparations for the interviews while Hritika ran up through her contacts. After all, it was Gamma's duty to make the Beta's idea come true.

The people she knew and the people they knew; Hritika went forward and invited them all. At first a few were hesitant to talk about their lives but they all agreed wholeheartedly when they realized that their few minutes of interview could help others accept the members of their community.
