“I cannot deny, I find it upsetting to know that your pack still holds to the idea that a woman leading alone is a bad thing. Among my people we have had female Alphas before, some of whom have been the best leaders in our history. The measure of a person is not in their gender, sexuality or skin tone but in their heart. Are they compassionate, sincere, genuine, selfless, wise and prudent? These matter much more than what physical markers someone was born with. We do have similar experiences although yours appears to be primarily internal. My own is external, as I am sure you have seen or heard of. However, we both know what it is like to be dismissed and discredited simply because of how we look. Together I believe we can change that atrocious mindset and have people judge the merit of a man by who he is not what he looks like.”<br/><br/><br/><br/>Louis led her further away from the warehouse to ensure they were out of earshot of their families. When they reached a secluded spot, he leaned in towards Evelyn before continuing to speak.<br/><br/><br/><br/>“I am sure you are aware that some of our people have secretly formed romantic attachments with one another. Both men and women crossing the ethnic divide to seek out their soul mate? How fitting is it that at this moment in history there are relationships destined to be formed across our people. I think this is something we should consider lifting up as a testament to the narrative that our people can exist together. Not only exist, mind you, but thrive.” Louis smiled as he softly touched her shoulder while staring into her stunning. “I mean look at us even! Often people think of my people only having dark eyes and yet I have blue eyes like you! Some of us have green, gray and a host of other colors no different than your own. They may be less common at times but they also exist. And our skin tone as well. Some trend darker as I do while other are more light skinned as they say. Is it not ironic that one of the things some of your women value is getting a tan to become darker? Why would they do that if not to show that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes?”
