The current tropes for werewolves doesn't really fit the way most guys think, so as a mental exercise, here's a ton of shorts on how meeting your mate would affect human males. - 1st chapter is an in-world synopsis, so it's difficult to follow, but it breaks down how mates find each other.- Concrete Thinker is an excerpt from a pioneer era journal.- Artistic Soul follows a male's thoughts through life on the same day each year.- Terrorized is a male who is in therapy because he's been bit by a werewolf.- Nerd meets his mate at Mechacon.- The Lost is a fb excerpt of a male who never mated.- Normal is about an abuse case who wants a normal life but instead gets werwolves.- The Player is the only fully female perspective. It's about how she got her mate to reject her without revealing she's a werewolf.- Stereotyped is the type of male young were females hope they get.- Incel is severe immaturity in group form.- Monotony is a tired rich playboy.- Misogyny is about an arrogant boxer whose mate is better.- Husband Material is about a man who will not be shaken off "the one", not even by a Civil War era African Alpha whose territory the couple is invading.- Desperation is about finding your mate after you are happily married.- Curmudgeon is about a grumpy tech who momentarily fails his own moralizing lectures.- Costly is an eccentric multi-millionaire who finds out his secretary is a secret agent werewolf.- Old Faithful is about a Civil Rights era African American human who grew up protected in an Alabama pack, who meets his mate on an interview about his memories of the era. Very lightly handled.~~~I don't really do trigger warnings.Consider yourself warned.Editing and formatting complete. Shouldn't have much to correct.…

If an Alpha took the time, and would read through were history, they should start to notice patterns emerging from the chaos surrounding the rise and fall of packs. For an Alpha who is tired of looking for his mate, he might notice that newfound mates often surround that chaos.Jonah Meecham is a 3rd generation pack's Alpha who is missing the one thing that makes leadership worthwhile: a future to pass his successes and mistakes onto. That, and he's a fairly devout believer in the Moon Goddess and her will in choosing predestined mates. The only problem is that the history of late-found mates is bound heavily in the worst things a werewolf could face: the brutality of his own kind. Not all relationships beat those kind of odds.Story is set around 2001 or 2002.~~~Look, we're adults, I don't worry about triggers, and I don't waste excess writing on whatever negatives are unnecessary to the story, so it shouldn't be too severe.

Nelle and Eli had been friends for most their childhood, but managed to not go over the barrier of friendship to something...more...until one drunk party too many, a week before her birthday and a month before his. While finding out who your mate was wasn't guaranteed to start on a birthday, it was rare to find out early. Neither of them was sure that they were mates--especially as she was human, and shouldn't even know about werewolves. Now they had to navigate something that was never supposed to happen--the player's best friend, a one night stand, and pregnancy while fighting with each other. Secrets would be exposed beyond what they should have never shared in the first place. Even if they wound up being each other's mates, how the heck could they learn to trust each other again?…

"I, Allen Titus Allbricht the III, reject...whatever the hell you are...as mate and Luna of the Spireshade Pack." This was Vanessa "do not call me Vanna" White's first impression of her mate, a simple damning sentence that normally carved women's hearts out whether they were human or were. It should hurt, leaving her heartbroken and bewildered. But she felt nothing, and was certain her "mate" was pulling her leg-and making her late to class. Turns out there was something special about this girl...or more accurately, something horribly wrong that worried Allen. ~~~I doubt that this story will have much in the way of sexytimeTM. But I don't censure myself and I don't warn people so Mature Content it is, until I'm finished with the thing. Good luck…

Why is it always the male Alpha that is an asshole? Why does his mate eventually submit to his change of heart? Alpha Royce Jaekel came to renew a treaty with the Procelleraum Pack, only to find a mate with a lower rank than he wanted to settle for. Sure, she could nearly look him in the eye, and while thin, there was nothing that screamed delicate about her, but breeding had to count for something. All she had was a Gamma's daughter for a mother, who couldn't even survive bringing an Omega's bastard's child into the world. In typical egotistical fashion, he intends to push her to her breaking point, to see what her real worth was. Too bad he intended to do that by not keeping his dick in his pants.Thea Rindle is the heir of Procelleraum's ancient Gamma bloodline, as well as it's notorious fallen Omega's line. She and her father have a chip on their shoulder, and are out to reclaim their lost status. The only problem is that her most stable choice is through a man-whore who went out his way to insult her intelligence, repeatedly.If this was a world where only one mate was ever given, they'd be forced to be together, but they are not. Not that many outside of an Alpha lineage knew about other chances for mates, though. It was a secret that could rock the very foundations of their people's culture. But those who knew would find ways to wield other options to their advantage.~~~~So many tropes are tied up in werewolves that we just retell the behavior without ever attempting to understand why these not quite human creatures act the way they do. But what if there was reason behind the parts that don't make sense?No, I don't write smut for smut's sake. There will be explicit moments, but only because they're necessary to the story being told. And I won't spend a lot of time warning about contents. Consider yourself warned.…
