I think this might be wrong perchance

First Heats/Ruts

While many AU’s prefer to have presentations in the mid to late teens years, I’ve always found that I personally prefer them happening earlier.

Ages 10-14 makes sense to me, maybe even 12-14. I feel that first heats/ruts would be non-sexual, mostly focusing on settling into a newer dynamic within their own pack. Lots of cramping and awkward discomfort. Probably not unusual to see them curling up in their parents or closest pack members nest/den, heating pad on, and snacks close by.

Maybe around this time, parents or guardians, even older siblings may show how to construct a nest or build a den. They may take these not-quite-pups-definitely-not-grown kids out to nesting/denning material stores where they can pick out their very own favourite blankets and pillows and base mattress.

I think that it would be a major coming of age event. Maybe a party would be thrown or just a sit-down “you’re becoming an adult soon” talk that all kids get around that age.

Group scenting of new nesting/denning materials could be a bonding exercise, as well as pack members offering up already scented materials such as hoodies or pillows from their own nest/den.

The discomfort and awkwardness of early heats/ruts would likely remain for a while. Some pups might have to wear the occasional sanitary pad when slick or other fluids start to kick into gear. While definitely not ready for the intended uses, the body would probably do this in some way. Close pack members must be ready to assure these pups that it’s completely natural and nothing to be ashamed of.

Sexual heats specifically would not start until the body is able to physically support carrying a baby, while sexual ruts wouldn’t start until several Omega peers had also started getting sexual heats. If this happens too early, pack members are encouraged to do some at-home teaching about consent and self-control as a precaution.

I think that this time would also be a great opportunity for schools, as well as packs at home, to start teaching about sexual education. Starting simple, like talking about the birds and the bees (that I believe most pups would already have knowledge of from their pack), as well as making sure that no pups are getting too curious and making sure they know about consent and such. While I think that consent talks and conversations about sex would be more common, I believe that education wise, it would be somewhat similar to now.

At this time, the scent will also start to shift. Going from a regular pup-milk scent with a hint of what their future scent may be, to starting to get less and less milky as time goes on. This may cause some distress among pups’ own scents changing, as well as pack members and friends.

Scents will also start to take on those more “Alpha-like” or “Omega-like” tones. Whereas for Betas, they have their scent emerge just the same, only without a heat or rut to accompany it. In addition, I believe that overstimulation from scents would be common.

🌙 dynamic abilities

»masterlist«

alpha command — also referred to as the alpha voice. a deep, rumbling tone that triggers obedience & submission in those who hear it. it’s most effective on pack & those who already respect the alpha as an authority figure—but some particularly dominating people are capable of effecting those who don’t know / respect them. commands are also heightened when given after a scruff or submission bite. a command usually sound deep and rumbling; firm and commanding; or low and soothing.

beta scent-shifting — a beta is able to consciously (or unconsciously) shift their scent to mimic another’s. they can disguise themselves as an alpha, omega, or another beta—and even mimic a milky pup scent. this is typically used to calm packmates, and also makes them invaluable in the medical field or for calming those in a feral state. there are varying skill levels, with some being able to fool any nose, and others only able to fool those in distress / not thinking clearly.

omega suggestion — also referred to as the omega voice. it incites in people a desire to please, to protect, to make the omega happy. it can also have a relaxing effect. it’s most effective on other pack members, or those with a positive relationship with the omega—though some have particularly powerful voices, & can affect even those they aren’t close with/who actively dislike them. the sound is generally gentle & soothing; soft & crooning; or lyrical & melodious.

[ scent-shifting as an ability for betas was inspired by a fanfic i read once~ ]
