Chapitre 2: Story information
So as I am writing my story, I realized that it would probably be a good idea to have section dedicated to explaining the differences in this story compared to other werewolf stories. Everything here will be explained throughout the story as well, but this will also give readers information prior to starting the story to know if they'll be interested in or not. So without further ado, I will begin explaining.
The story behind werewolves- in this story I have changed how werewolves came into existence to be due to water pollution by humans with a chemical that caused a certain pack of wolves who drank the water to mutate. Perhaps a little bit of a far reach, but it activated the part in their genetics that is similar to a humans and allows them to shift between wolf, werewolf, and human. So the story goes that back when people found what they thought was a human who had been bit by a wolf and thus turned into a werewolf, it was actually the other way around. The wolf had been bit in a prior fight with another wolf before turning into a human. When the wolf transformed into a werewolf was when it learned that it had the ability to shift forms. Of course not understanding people well, it didn't know that they would be so scared and react so badly to it. After this, werewolves remained in the shadows. Of course, there have been claims of sightings or people going missing which they blame on these creatures.
This mutation can be passed down in wolfs who breed with another wolf or werewolf. If they mate with a normal wolf, the mutated gene will become more muted and there's a less chance that all the pups will carry the mutated gene. Werewolves who mate with another who carries the mutated gene will pass it done one hundred percent to their pups thus continuing the line of werewolves. I have not yet decided if humans and werewolves can cross mate. I am kind of leaning towards no as their basic makeup is still that of a wolf even if they can change appearance to look like a human.
Alpha- Alpha's doe still exist in this world and they are the leader of the pack, the strongest member, and their main protectors. However, while they are seen as the main authority figure in the pack, they don't hold any special powers or abilities over the rest of the members in the pack. The pack follows the alpha because either they have been accepted into the pack and respect his authority or they are his direct family either as a child, mate, or close relative. In the human world, alphas are still respected and they are still the person that members in a pack will go to for advice and opinion on matters but their authority is less than compared to in the wild.
Omegas- Omegas are the lowest member in the pack, but their status has nothing to do with the color of their coat but with either being weaker ranked outsiders or members in a pack who have made a transgression of sorts such as unfairly attacking another member in the pack, mistreating pups, inbreeding with another member of the pack, and other such cases. Thus, omegas can have any color of coat and except for their timid and skittish nature, it is hard to tell them apart from any other wolf. In the wild they are the ones who are on the receiving end of most of the pack's frustration and anger but among humans, while they are sometimes the ones who are bullied and picked on over their timid and submissive nature, their rank doesn't play into their place on society as much. This takes some time however for them to get used to and understand.
Mating- I am keeping this more in line with how wolves in the wild work. Mates are not predetermined, they are decided based upon a distraction or level of strength. Living among humans as there is less pressure to mate to keep a pack going because there's more 'security' in a sense. Werewolves have more freedom to take their time picking a mate they feel they're most compatible with. Due to the fact that wolfs/werewolves mate for life except for in a few circumstances, casual sex is not a thing for these creatures. Sex/mating of any form is seen as a formal bonding process thus whoever they decide is their mate is the only person they will engage in any may of sexual interaction/contact with. There'll be no sex in this story however.
Age- werewolves age more along the lines of their wolf side. They age quickly in the first two years of their life. Birth-1 year is the equivalent of 9-10 years in human age and 1-2 years is the equivalent of 8-9 years in human life which would give werewolves the appearance as a human of somewhere who was around 18-20 years old. After this time, the aging process slows down though it still occurs at a rate which is slightly faster than that of a human.
Moon/full moon: I know in a lot of stories the full moon is tied in with giving werewolves their abilities or considered to be the first time that they can learn to transform. This is not the case in my book. The full moon is seen as a threat to wolves who lives in the wild. Because of how brightly the full moon illuminates everything that it shines down upon, it makes wolves feel vulnerable both to other predators as well as humans who will hunt down and kill wolves to protect their pets, livestock, as well as keep them from killing all the game animal they enjoy hunting. Unless it is a dire situation rarely ever will a werewolf transform into it's were form during a full moon as it would be an easy target to notice because of it's larger size and appearance.
Scent- werewolves maintain their strong sense of smell even in their human form. This helps them to know if there are other werewolves hiding among humans or not. It is not quite a sharp as in their wolf or were form, same goes for their other senses as well. If they were, werewolves would have an even harder time adapting to living among humans as their sense would be enhanced ten times in comparison to a humans and thus everything would be too noisy, bright, smelly, and would cause an over stimulation affect to them.
This is everything that I have for right now. I will probably update this along the way as I think of other parts that I forgot to include.
