//BARRELS IN// Okay. So theoretically if Gab were to romance one of the were characters does 'meeting the family' mean the entire clan? Is clan approval a thing here? Vote yay or nay on significant others?
Werepanthers are far more individualistic than werewolves. While being the alpha’s mate you should meet the clan, it’s not a priority; most of the panthers want to be left alone to do their own thing. So it’s not a priority for them. However, alphas approve all mates, so if it’s serious, at some point you have to present your SO to the alpha. Failure to do so can result in exile from the pack--or worse. The werewolves trust their alpha. They want to meet their alpha’s mate, but they don’t expect you to know them all especially as a non-were. While not being a were could be a big deal, this pack is newly formed and used to doing things differently than ‘tradition’ might dictate. Yay or nay is more of an archaic design. Charleston, for instance, is very much of the opinion that it’s none of the pack’s business who he dates--though the alpha always meets any significant others to judge if they are a liability or risk to the pack. For the werewolves it’s more of meeting the quirky, extended family--once you’re introduced, you’ve already been accepted. It’s getting past the alpha that’s the big step. A nay from the alpha does kill the relationship.
