This was fine. It was interesting, and great care is taken towards making it feel like a diverse cast, but two things:
1. Because the cast was so refreshingly diverse, I couldn't help but notice no people of color happened to draw others to them in an alpha way like Luke, Riley, and the other girl with an L name and pasty white skin did. Mama N was Mama C's wife, but she wasn't an alpha. Mama C was, also pasty white.
2. This honest to god feels like a middle grade gateway drug into werewolf omegaverse fiction. It's literally just missing the fates mates, and even then it had a little bit of that with the "prime pack inside the larger pack" dynamics.
