Rules

​​​​​​THE RANKS

• α alphas: mostly the strongest ones who are above the rest, go into rut once a month and can impregnate omegas, there can be weak or more submissive alphas as well, often good fighters and possessive once they've found their mate. No pregnant female alphas. 
• β betas: the ones right in between, mostly protecting the weaker ones since they can't get pregnant or impregnate, can also be used as "helping hand" for those in heat or rut without risking anything (mating can still happen if there's a bite, pups or not), go into a pretty weak form of rut or heat once a month (without the knot of an alpha or the self lubrication of an omega)
• ω omegas: usually the weakest in a pack and in charge of looking after pups, go into heat once a month and can get pregnant no matter which gender, there are some who are more stubborn and stronger than others of course which means they don't have to be the submissive ones

MATING

• Things are official once a wolf has been marked aka bitten and it can't be changed until one of the two dies, so you better think about it twice
• Mated wolves have the bite mark on their body till their last breath, no matter if they've had one or more mates - more mates means more bites, the old ones being less obvious though
