Let's howl at that moon

[shiftyeyed]

☽✩ the werewolf pack (au) romance 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 lone wolf, 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. ☾ WILDCARD

[His mouth parted slightly, on the verge of trying to respond to her nip with a bite and kiss of his own, but he doesn't have a chance before she's pulling away. It leaves him hanging for a beat, on the verge of pouting in frustration. Though of course he says nothing out loud.]

Hmm. I might be more into that last part, depending on the type of eating you mean.

[He raises his eyebrows, knowing damn well he's being juvenile and not caring. Wanting to see how she'll react. It's good that they've found this sense of peace between them but it's less jarring if they at least still bicker from time to time. They need to be able to pretend they hate each other, he figures. It's the way to stay sane.]

[She holds her hand down to help him up, feet braced as she gives him two lifted brows. Then a crooked grin.]

Only one way to find out.

[She made a show of licking her lips, smile still in place as she did. Prodding at him was just going to be part of existing with him, and if this was what he said it was, if this was something more than just for the moment... that might be all that kept her sane.]

[badluckwithplanes]

[He has to grin at that. A smirk that blooms across his face before splitting broadly to show his teeth.]

Atta girl.

[He takes her hand. If nothing else, this whole affair is going to make for an exciting, an interesting break from the usual. For at least a little while. He's trying not to think ahead to what happens when it becomes longer than that.]
