James' insecurities

The group from the Red Moon pack was arriving in two vehicles, with four passengers each.

Two high-ranking soldiers were in front of each car, taking turns driving while the back rows were reserved for passengers. In the first car were Alpha Edward and Luna Layla, while in the second car were James and Nora.

They were currently stuck in line at one of the checkpoints through which guests needed to pass in order to enter the territory of the Blue River pack.

Guards stationed there were verifying headcount and invitations. Also, after confirming that only were-people were present inside vehicles, guests were warned that humans will be in attendance and that shifting into their wolf forms or exhibiting their super-strength was prohibited. It was a usual procedure, to avoid exposure, yet there was always a rowdy guest or two who had a few drinks too many that started growing fangs and growled before someone knocked him out.
