☽✩ 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?

✩ 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.

[ Cougar laughed as he nudged Jensen onto his back so he could sprawl on top of his chest. He folded his arms over his pecs and rested his chin on them, gazing with amused affection at his mate. Only Jensen would ramble like that while Cougar was trying to seduce him.

Could he adore this man any more than he already did? He had the rest of their lives to find out. Hopefully, their work wouldn't cut that tragically short. ]

[Since he and Cougar had done the deed and make their little claim staking with each other, there had been more than one night when Jensen had woken up, covered in sweat, reeking of terror as he crawled out of a nightmare where he lost Cougar. A mission gone wrong. There were tears when it was his fault. He was too late. He did something wrong. And he had nothing but a cooling body to remind him of what a fuckup he was. It was always his wolf that woke him, forcing him up to go search out and find Cougar to reassure them both he was okay. He never woke him up then, or tried not to. Just had to see him. Hear him breathing. He didn't go back to sleep after that, just tried to distract himself with code or something to do. He hated those nights.

Jensen wouldn't handle losing Cougar and he hoped he never had to prove it. He rolled over onto his back when Cougar pressed him, smiling as he kept his arm around his mate, pulling him onto him and tangling a leg with his.]

Ibiza. I'll talk to Clay after the next mission. Sound good?

[ He nodded and sealed the whole plan with a kiss, slow and deep.

They both had their night terrors. Cougar's nightmares only sometimes centered on Jensen though. Something about his wolf's fierce protectiveness for his mate seemed to chase those sort of nightmares away. When they did happen he immediately sought out his mate if he wasn't in bed with him and pressed close, making sure Jensen was very alive and very safe in his arms.

Hell itself wouldn't keep Cougar from Jensen. ]

[They were both riding that post orgasmic bliss, bodies relaxed and comfortable, and they could go either way in terms of drifting off or going again. He melted into the kiss, a hand coming up to comb through Cougar's hair. He loved his hair. Dark and surprisingly soft, he cupped the side of Cougar's face and kissed him with an open heart. God, he loved this man. This wolf. His mate.

Idly, and because his mind was just a random stream of consciousness at any given time and often connected to his mouth without much thought on his part, he murmured into the kiss.]

Do they marry dudes in Ibiza?

[ Well, that gets Cougar's attention.

He snaps back from the kiss to stare down at Jensen, searching to see how serious he is. There's no real way to tell when Jensen rambles what he means or what's just words to fill the silence. Even Cougar knowing him as well as he does has trouble telling sometimes.

This. He needs to know if Jensen is serious about this. Not that they aren't practically married anyway but Cougar needs to know if he means that. ]

[It's the tension that lets him know he said something that got Cougar's attention. He looks up, smiling at the intensity directed his way.]

Well, duh, man. We're already married in wolf-years. Might as well make it human official. Shit's just been crazy. I, uh... I did get you a ring. I mean, I have one. Wasn't sure if you wanted the whole on one knee thing or not.

[ Cougar sat up and fully straddled Jensen as he listened to him confess that he has a ring. What? ]

How long?

[ Just how long has he had the ring? How long has he been planning this? Cougar needed to know just how long Jensen had been able to keep this from him. ]

Uh...

[And now he got quiet. Maybe it was weird of him? Maybe Cougar didn't want to get married? Jesus, he hadn't thought of that. He'd been so busy trying to find the perfect place and time, he hadn't actually thought about the fact Cougar might say no.]

Awhile...

Jake.

[ Cougar was more upset that he hadn't noticed. He was comfortable with their relationship, trusting their bond as mates meant that was all they needed. He hadn't thought that Jensen wanted marriage too. ]

Yes.

[ Just in case there was any double in that genius brain of his that Cougar didn't want to get married. ]

Yeah? Like... for real? Oooh, hold on.

[He rolled them to the side, moving to crawl over Cougar to head off the bed. He had the ring hidden in one of his tech tool bags. He always brought it with him, so it was never weird that he had it on him on every mission. Just in case.

He came back over to the bed, kneeling at the side of it and opened the box. He turned it to show the ring to Cougar.]

Carlos Alvarez, will you marry me?

[ No wonder Cougar never found it. He didn't go through Jensen's tech bag. Other bags sure. But he didn't touch any of the things he didn't fully understand. It was the perfect hiding spot. ]

Yes.

[ He launched himself off the bed and into Jensen's arms, tackling him down to the floor so he could kiss him and once again try to show just how much he felt for him through physical actions because words would be pointless and never get the point across. They could get back in the much more comfortable bed in a minute Cougar needed to get these feelings out before they overwhelmed him. ]

[Jensen was grinning like an idiot, arms around Cougar even as his back hit the floor. He laughed, one hand holding the box and the ring, the other flat against Cougar's back, his face buried in his neck as he just breathed in his scent. If he was in his other form, his tail would be wagging as well.]

Ibiza, then. Think we should invite the rest? They might pout if we don't.

Yes.

[ They could invite them and those that cared would show up. Cougar drew back so he could look into Jensen's eyes and so Jensen could see how happy he was. ]

Your sister?

And my niece? She could be the flower girl.

[Heh, Petunias. Clearly there was going to be a theme. His hand comes up to cup Cougar's face again.]

I lucked the fuck out with you, man.

[ It's not like Cougar's going to invite his family. Jensen and the Losers are all he has.

He nods and presses another hard kiss against Jensen's lips, still trying to get all those feelings out. Then he sits back, stands, and offers Jensen a hand to get up off the floor.

There's a perfectly good bed they need to make use of. ]

[Jensen took the hand, getting up to his feet, box still in his other hand. He held it up and waggled it at Cougar.]

You, uh, wanna wear it now or later? I don't really know how the whole dude on dude engagement shit works.

[ For an answer Cougar simply stuck out his left hand. He'll wear it with pride unlike some of the other things Jensen has given him in the past. Those t-shirts were awful. ]

[He dug out the ring, then felt that steady pitter patter in his chest as he took hold of Cougar's left hand with his, then slid the ring on that special finger with his right.]

We can get something else if you want. I tried to go dark to keep reflection down, but, you know... I saw this and it was just you.

[ They would have to find some way to hide the glint but he understood how the ring appealed to Jensen. He would have to get him something just as special, just as meaningful and find it before they went on their vacation. ]

It's perfect.

[ He nuzzled against Jensen's cheek and kissed him softly. Just like his mate. ]

Yeah? Good.

[So maybe his butt was wagging a bit, his wolf deciding that it wanted to show just how happy he was. He didn't need a ring back- he didn't need it, but he sure as shit wanted it.]

[ Jensen would get one. Cougar was determined to find the perfect ring for Jensen that held as much meaning as this one. ]

Wait here.

[ He gave him a light kiss then went over to his bag of gear. He pulled out one of the leather thongs he used to tie his hair back sometimes then brought it over. Cougar grabbed Jensen's hand and carefully tied the short band around his ring finger. ]

For now. Until I find the right thing.

[He looked down at the leather cord, saw the loops around his finger, the knot on top and the dangling cord to the side, and he beamed at Cougar.]

I dunno, this feels kinda right.

It'll effect your grip too much.

[ All those loops would get in the way of Jensen properly holding his gun which Cougar would not allow. He forgot it too often as it was. ]

I'll find something close to it.

[ Or find an artist who could somehow incorporate the strand of leather into the ring. But he wouldn't let anything jeopardize Jensen's safety, even romance. ]

Aww, look at you, getting all soft and gooey on me. You really are made of caramel. C'mere.

[He pulled Cougar closer, pulling their bodies flush together as he sought out his mouth in a kiss. Married. Jesus, they were going to get married. And he'd said yes. Bombs could drop right now and it wouldn't dim his smile.]

[ Cougar kissed him back and then shoved him back onto the bed. He climbed into his lap and kissed him again long and deep. His hands wandered over Jensen's body, finding all those places he knew would drive his mate back to their earlier passion. A night like this should be celebrated.

He needed to passionately make love to his future husband right now. ]
