Littles that are born into packs are ALWAYS Omegas.

They are cherished within most packs and are typically taken care of by the Alpha and Luna. Unlike the other ranks of wolves, Littles don't grow older mentally and will generally have a small stature, so they are easily identifiable by the time they are about three to four years old.

Some packs see them as an abomination and will abuse them, turn them into slaves, or kill them outright. In the old days, they used to sell them to packs that wanted one or on the open market to anyone, wolf or human.

Littles that are made can be any rank.

These are created from torture at the young pup stage. Most die when they come of age, as their wolf will go feral from the tortured memories, or they commit suicide in the aftermath. 

This is one of the biggest reasons rescued children stay and are raised by the Mahani. These children have constant support and Gammas to help them through the memories before their wolves emerge. They are trained to protect themselves from future predators and given Basic Mahani powers so they feel safer and in control of their lives.

Not all children saved by the Mahani become Littles, only about two percent, as it depends on how long the torture went on and how young they are once saved. Each child is different.

All Littles have specific characteristics:

*small stature

*childlike behavior

*need constant love and attention

*will die instantly from the pain if rejected

*need a Gamma to keep them grounded

*can stop wolves in their tracks with a specific cry.

Little do have mates, but most do not meet them as they usually are not allowed outside of pack lands. If they do happen to meet their mate, it is a chance on whether they are accepted. The average rejection rate for them is 50/50. 

Littles only have sex if they spend equal or more time in adult headspace. If not, they are marked the same way children of the pack are (a shoulder scratch by the Blood Alpha) but never fully mated.
