☽✩ 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. ☾ WILDCARD |

(Temporary) Two Man Pack
The two of them had been taking it in turns, one scouting for somewhere safe for the three of them to weather the full moon and the other making sure she was safe.
The problem was that they were rapidly running out of time to find someplace, down to mere days, and Nile knew it, some kind of bone-deep itch. Not an ache, not really, it wasn't painful as much as it was annoying and she wasn't wholly sure how to deal with it. Which was part of the reason that she was in the kitchen for the third time in the past two hours, making a sandwich that was mostly meat and cheese. The second reason for the sandwich was that she was hungry, or maybe she was craving something but didn't know what, exactly.
Regardless, another sandwich was preferable to just about anything else.
no subject
Which is why he was sprawled out on the cot that acted as his and Joe's bed in their current safehouse, watching as Nile wandered back and forth between the living room and the kitchen, making sandwiches he wasn't even certain she was hungry enough to eat. Although, maybe they had an increased hunger that he was also used to after centuries of living with it.
"I'm getting dizzy watching you walk back and forth."
no subject
That last part was mostly a tease, and mostly because of how shocked and even mildly appalled both Nicky and Joe had been when she'd referred to the name-brand packaged stuff as 'fancy', and she was still catching on to the fact that most anything they considered normal staples, she considered some level of gourmet.
no subject
"You can't deny that it's better than Oscar Mayer."
no subject
There was a pause then, not hesitation really, but working out what it was she wanted to ask, and how to ask it so that it didn't become an accusation of some kind, which was often harder than it seemed, "We aren't going to... you know, run something down and eat it over the full moon, right?"
no subject
Nicky knows that Nile's question comes from a place of genuine concern but it doesn't stop the soft snort of laughter that escapes, covered weakly with a cough. "No. We don't make a habit of it."
Anymore.
