3 roles in omegaverse

Alphas are generally dominant and able to impregnate Omegas. They are the highest ranking members of the pack as they hold absolute control over their pack members. Male Alphas usually have a knot when aroused. Alphas are responsible for leading the pack, establishing pack territory and its safety, and protecting the pack from rogues. They are responsible for keeping order within the pack. Paired Alphas may be more possessive of their mate and prone to jealousy in certain circumstances. They're most known as the protectors of the pack. Betas are subordinate to Alphas and may be able to impregnate Omegas. Betas are often presented as having "normal" human anatomy with none of the special attributes of Alphas or Omegas. The Beta is essentially the second-in-command of the pack. When the Alphas are absent, it is the Beta's job to make sure the pack is organized and under control. When the Alphas are indeed away for a time, these wolves are the next in authority and demand the same respect and control from their pack members. Omegas are the lowest of the hierarchy. Both male and female Omegas are self-lubricating (produce slick) and have the ability to become pregnant. They're most known for being submissive to other roles, though this isn't by any means finite. They are typically the nurturers of the pack.

Hierarchy: a system in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority. Scent: a distinctive smell, especially one that is pleasant. Pheromone: a chemical substance produced and released into the environment by an animal, affecting the behavior or physiology of others of its species. Pup: a young wolf that has yet to present as an Alpha, Beta, or Omega. Pack: a group of animals, especially wolves, living and hunting together. Rogue: a lone animal excluded from their pack due to having savage or destructive tendencies. Den: an animal's home or habitation. Slick: self-lubricant an Omega is able to produce when aroused. Knot: the bulbus glandis towards the base of an Alpha's penis; swells during intercourse to tie the Alpha and his partner together. Court: be involved with romantically, typically with the intention of marrying. Mate: a person's partner that can be either sexually or romantically involved; achieved only through a mating bond. (noun) Example- "He's my mate." Synonyms: -partner -husband -wife -lover Mate²: come together for breeding. (verb) Example- "I mated with an Omega." Synonyms: -breed -intercourse -sex True Mate: a person ideally suited to another as a romantic partner. They'll typically know from a biological perspective who their mate is. (i.e. scent, touch, sound, etc.) Synonym: -soulmate

Heat

A heat is the time when the Omega is most fertile and ready to mate. Some choose to have partners to help during their heats; others hide in their nests without a mate until their heat is over. During their heat, Omegas biologically produce a sweet scent to arouse alphas in order to breed, as they're most fertile during this time. This 'heat' scent is typically the Omega's amplified natural scent, though their slick can produce an intoxicating scent as well. It's extremely important that if the Omega is unmated, that they have some form of protection during their heat since they are unable to protect themselves due to their hormone imbalance, which can physically and/or mentally impair them for a time. Some buildings have heat rooms for this particular situation, where the Omega is protected and safe from other people. Heats occur a few times a year, generally once in fall and once in spring, though if the omega is under significant mental or physical stress they will often skip one or more heats.

Nests

Nests Most Omegas will build a nest in a secure room to provide comfort for themselves and their partner(s). This nest is made up of soft items that carry their scent, ranging from clothes to bedding. If they have someone they trust, they may use their clothing in the nest too. Omegas are typically very sensitve to scent when they're in their nest, as it's their safe spot, so foreign or unfamiliar scents can make them feel easily threatened when inside. If their nest is invaded with an unfamiliar scent or even a stranger, it's probable they'll develop trust issues and feel unsafe in their own home. It's their partner's job to protect the nest when their omega is inside of it.

Rut

Alphas experience ruts the same way that Omegas experience heats, but instead of submitting, they feel the need to dominate. If they don't have a partner, they'll do the same thing an Omega does; lock themselves in a safe area until rut is over. Unlike Omegas, Alphas do not produce an alluring scent when in rut. In fact, it's typically invasive/threatening to smell an Alpha in rut. Due to this, most individuals will start clear of them. Alphas in rut are much more dangerous than usual due to territorial instincts. If they feel threatened, or smell an unfamiliar scent, they'll feel a strong urge to attack. If there is an Omega nearby, they may feel the need to protect them from harm (even if there is none). Other Alphas may try to mate with the Omega due to their strong hormones, whether forcefully or not.

Scents

When in non-sexual situations, omega and beta scents tend to be calming; omega scents almost as a sedative, and beta scents in a more passive manner. Alphas can infuse their scent with a command that weakly compels omegas, and to a lesser extent, betas, to obey them. This is significantly more effective when used upon distressed omegas or omegas in/ nearing their heats. When applied to other alphas, it generally invokes hostility, sometimes leading to violence.

Mating

When a mating bite occurs, the omega's bonding gland, which is located on their neck, releases a spike of oxytocin into the omega's blood, triggering release of vasopressin in the alpha. Omegas will also produce a chemical compound in the presence of other alphas when pair-bonded, warning the other alphas off and making them smell "claimed". Presence of the alpha during the omega's heat is required to maintain a mating bond; if the alpha is absent and the omega suffers an unsuppressed heat, with or without another partner, the pheromonal bond will fade away and the omega will no longer smell claimed. Other alphas will likely make advances.

Pheromones

Pheromones are produced mainly by scent glands on the wrists, neck, cheeks, and, for omegas, genitals. In claiming a mate, alphas will generally rub their face and hands on the face and neck of their chosen omega, as an additional warning to other alphas that this omega is claimed. Omegas scent mark their alphas as well, though this tends to be more subtle; usually they accomplish this through less specific physical contact, such as hugging or cuddling. However, not all scent marking is necessarily sexual. Families and good friends tend to scent mark each other as well, but as the pheromone production incited by the presence of family and platonic friends is entirely different from that incited by the presence of a potential or claimed mate, the scent transferred differs greatly from that transferred by scent marking from a mate.

Pregnancy

Omegas, beta females, and occasionally alpha females can become pregnant. Pregnancy generally lasts close to 40 weeks. In alpha-omega pairs, multiple births are significantly more common.

Hostility

when pregnant, omegas self-isolate and become very hostile toward everyone but close family and their mate. If approached by a stranger, they will sometimes attack, and if they are in the presence of their mate they will generally cling to and hide behind them, snarling at the potential threat. Alphas also become very protective of pregnant omegas whom they know, especially their mates, and also become hostile toward strangers and anyone who approaches too quickly or comes too close. This is a leading cause of violence among alphas and omegas, as mated pairs will generally attack together, though the omega usually lets the alpha do the majority of the fighting. This is a residual instinct from when alphas who desired an omega who was already mated would sometimes wait for the omega to give birth and then kill the baby, claiming the mega for their own. The most violent

Alpha Females

Alpha females have narrower hips than beta females and omegas (omega females tend to have very wide hips), so they are more likely to require a Caesarian section than beta and omega females are. In fact, more than 50% of alpha female births are by C-section. Omega Males Omega male hips tend to be slightly narrower than beta females', but during pregnancy the pelvic opening widens as the ligaments of the sacroiliac joint loosen significantly, much more than for beta or omega females. Male omegas keep the wider hips after their first pregnancy.

Lactation

Male omegas do lactate, but only during and shortly after pregnancy. Their breasts do not remain enlarged as females' do, and are generally small even when lactation occurs. Beta and omega females lactate as well, and retain the fatty tissue in their breasts. Alpha females never lactate; their breasts are composed entirely of fatty tissue, containing no actual milk-producing glandular tissue, and are generally small, comparable to the size of omega males' breasts during late pregnancy; most female alphas and pregnant male omegas have AA or A-cup breasts. Omega females have larger breasts, tending toward C to DD-cups. Beta females are average at B or C-cups.
