Give the wolves their due

☽✩ the werewolf pack (au) meme ✩☾


There are many supernatural beings that congregate in groups for survival or protection or just for companionship, not unlike humans. Witches have covens. Vampires have nests. But none of those have connections that can compare to the bond of a werewolf pack.

You should know. You're part of one, either born a werewolf or turned. For humans, blood is thicker than water; for wolves, the pack is to the bone. Of course, with humans, romantic relationships can complicate closeness of other sorts. That's not the case with werewolf pairings, as they tend to grow out of natural pack dynamics and are viewed as just another facet of life. The only difference is that werewolves tend to treat relationships, even potential would-be-mates, with extreme seriousness.

After all, you'll fight for your pack, so you'll fight for your mate, won't you?

✩ how to play ✩
☾ Comment with your character, preference, and information!
☽ Reply to others.
☾ RNG. Also, please note that while the words "alpha" et al. are used, this isn't a meme for that AU.


✩ prompts ✩

Born: Your parents were werewolves. Any children you have will be wolves, too.
The Turning Process: Like any transformation, the after effects of the bite are painful. Luckily
With Who Turned You: You're romantically or sexually linked to your "creator," so to speak, probably because you have nowhere else to go. They seem to treasure you, though, no matter how much they hide it.
Alphas: Both of you are top of the pack.
Alpha and Beta: It's a classic case of the leader and the second in command: a perfect team up.
Omegas: You two find solace in each other even when you're
Closer Than Family: The romantic and platonic lines are blurred. You honestly can't
Outside Threat: Your pack and your loved one is threatened. What won't you do?
Reluctant: You don't want to be with anyone, but it's expected and they're the closest in the pack to you...
All I've Ever Known: All you've ever known is the werewolf existence, the pack, and them. Of course you would never want to lose that.
Can't be Together: You two should not be considering a potential pairing, either due to your status difference or because your alpha has proclaimed there will be no inter-pack mingling.
Everyone Else Was Taken: You had no other option; everyone else was paired.
Protector: Every pack has an instinctive protector or nurturer. You've lucked out and ended up with them.
A Natural Closeness: It doesn't matter to you what you're defined as. You've always been close and you'll stay that way.
Affection: Werewolves show their love in different ways that humans. Nuzzling and licking aren't considered odd at all.
Fall into Step: The two of you have your pack positions and proclivities and they're the same in your relationship.
Reverse: The submissive in the pack becomes a dominant in the relationship and vice versa.
Two-Man Pack: The rest of your pack is gone, and you two have to stick it out.
Rogue: You were once a terrorist, but a special person brought you into the fold. Understandably, you're attached to them.
Kin but Not: "Family" doesn't mean exactly the same thing in werewolf society as it does in human. There are fewer taboos between "siblings."
Disciplined: You're a rule breaker, and your partner has to reel you in.
Living Straight: Neither of you wants to hurt humans...yet there's always that urge.
Bad Duo: Killing people and raising hell are your specialties. You're a real supernatural Bonnie and Clyde.
Unrequited: Even werewolves can have feelings that aren't returned. However, it's an even more fragile scenario, given that you must still be pack after this.
Got Your Back: Together, you hunt and fight. Always together.
Love Outside the Pack: You've found love outside the pack, which is the ultimate sin. Everyone who isn't pack should be your enemy! The other person in this thread can be a human, vampire, etc.
Life Mates: Wolves mate for life. Needless to say, this is not something you should go into lightly.
Heat: The obligatory smut option.
Fight for the One: Someone wants to challenge you for your mate. There's no question as to whether or not you'll fight for them - but will you kill?
Leave: One of you wants to leave the pack. Will the other come along, or are ties too strong?
A Brutal End: The life of a werewolf, especially those who let sentiment cloud their judgement, can be painfully brief.

This parole sucks. Dex has had enough of this (failed) attempt to reintegrate him into a pack. He's been alone his whole life and a few months of trying to play nice with one of the local packs wasn't going to change that. It doesn't help that Dex has been resistant to any and all attempts by the wolves to get him to bond with any of the other wolves. He's been snapping and growling at anyone who gets near, both metaphorically and unfortunately also quite literally while in wolf form.

Still, the leaders of the various packs in New York are worried and continued to talk. He's been alone for so long that they're afraid he's on the verge of activating the curse of immortality that no wolf should ever want granted to them. If that happens, it will be a long, hard road to fix him again, something that could take centuries if left unchecked.

Since the first pack isn't working out, they decide to seek out a new one. The Avengers are so high profile as a group that they initially weren't chosen for fear it would reflect badly on them if Dex couldn't be integrated. But now the pack leaders hope with all the unique circumstances that the Avengers have going on that they will be able to help this poor lost wayward wolf. The first few days have been extremely rough. Dex has been holed up in his room in wolf form the entire time, snarling and snapping at anyone who comes near. It's only been due to Sam pulling the leader card and pinning him down until he submitted to his authority that he hasn't gotten violent. Sam has made it clear that if Dex hurts a pack member, there are gonna be consequences and he will not like them. Sensing the leader isn't playing around, Dex has had to content himself with simply refusing to come out and socializing.

That is until Joaquin gets back. From what Dex understands, he's been gone on a mission for a while, which is why he hasn't met Dex yet. Apparently, Sam thinks a first meeting might be beneficial for Dex so he sends the other wolf in. Dex has hidden himself under the bed with his face and snout just barely able to be seen. His eyes reflect in the gloom created as he snarls softly at Joaquin, not wanting him to come any closer.
