⤔ lore

Werewolves were created from a mated wolf pair which meant that the werewolves birthed from them gained the natural abilities and instincts of a wolf. These wolves were created to protect humans who were at the bottom of the food chain. They did their sworn duty to ensure that other creatures like the werewolves didn’t kill off all the humans.
As the humans evolved they stopped telling the stories of the horrorifying creatures that go bump in the night. The creatures like werewolves became myths and fairy tales, just mere stories to entertain or scare. Forgetting this fact the humans began to hunt creatures thinking that these were mere wild beasts. The large packs of werewolves that roamed the Earth began to dwindle as the humans continued to hunt. Soon wolves found it easier to force themselves to live wholly human like lives. It killed them inside however it did save a small portion of them.
The remaining wolves became spilt on how to reaction to the humans’ actions. Some felt insulted by the humans killing off their people claiming to be killing mindless beasts. Others felt this only proved how dumb humans were thus needing their protection still. However, a few felt that this only proved the humans were quite dangerous. They felt this was proof that humans needed to have THEIR numbers cut down. Within this world there are only

two types of wolves; turned and born.
Turned wolves are humans who have been given wolf forms. This means unlike the born wolves they more closely resemble what humans have come to know as werewolves via literature and movies. The transformation can be quite traumatic leading to problems with anger, attention span and in some rare cases heightened libidio. There were even cases of aggressive ual tastes developing. Turned wolves tend to also change during full moon. These wolves are often seen as the strongest of the two types given how aggressive they are. However we must never forget that turned wolves are humans given wolf instincts.
Born wolves are wolves who have given human forms. These wolves turn into actual wolves, the four-legged kind. Born wolves are the superior one but only being that they were born with their instincts unlike the turned wolves. The more powerful a wolf the more he can concentrate its changes. Say one hand becomes a paw or their eyes turn to their complete wolf counterpart. Although since their first form will always be a wolf extreme emotions can make their ears and tail appear in their human form.

Alphas are the rank of wolves that is considered the top of the heiarchy by most given that they are the only rank that is able to impregnate a werewolf due to their knot. A trait they only share with dominant beta wolves. However the knot is what causes their rut. A rut for all intents and purposes is something akin to a peroid. A time for the body to prepare to bring life into the world. An alpha is more likely to knot and is known to be the most potent during this time.
Betas are a special rank within the pack. These wolves can essentialy take on the role of both omega and alpha. The only way to figure out way a beta is more likely to do is based on whther they prefer to recieve or give. Their dominance levels will determine which they are more likely to do. Knot or get pregnant. They also go through a rut or heat based on this as well. Those who are more of a switch tend to be able to do both of them. Knot and get pregnant which can lead to terrible, terrible times as they will go through both a rut and heat.
Omegas are the rank that most consider the lowest given they are the rank who is only known for giving birth. They are also the ones known for going into heat. Much like a rut, a heat is a time for the body to prepare to bring life into the world. An omega is the most fertile during this time. Any knot during this time is 100% going to result in pregnancy. Nautrally an omega will also produce slick, a lube like substence from inside his . Slick produces a noticable sweet smell. This is to lure a wolf to them for mating.

You can take on a mate in a few ways. You can go the human route and simply marry them or you can mark them. To mark someone as yours is to make sure that your scent will forever be on them. This process can be reversed however it is quite painful therefore not recommended unless you are quite sure about the person. To do this you make sure to bite over the scent gland along the neck. It is said that to make sure this is fully effective you want to do this after .

Heat/Rut is the week of every month that a wolf goes into state much like a peroid in a human. The body prepares to bring life in the world. For an alpha this means he becomes highly potent. Alphas who have a partner say they get more sensitive to smells. This is likely due to the very fact of them having a partner. Their body understands they have a specfic person so they need them to make it their the week. Now for an omega this time can be considered very dangerous. During this time an omega is very fertile, even a drop of will make them pregnant. It is possible for someone to trigger an early heat/rut in another just by smelling them in their heat/rut. However this is more common with omegas accidentally doing so to alphas.
It is possible for a pregnancy to result from this. It’s not the fault anyone. It’s an animal instinct that as wolves you can’t fight.
