Once mated, could you unmate? If so? How?

Hello, yes you can unmate. The details of how depend on the writer really.

Traditionally, a mate was a one time thing; it couldn’t be undone. This was a life partner that was being chosen and that wasn’t something that could change later. The only reason a mating could be undone was through death, which in most AUs would leave some lingering scent/pain in the partner that was still living.

In some more non-traditional AUs, a mating bite specifically was transient. The bite needed to be redone every so often to continue the bond. This meant the bond could slowly dissipate either by accident or my choice. When the bond disappeared altogether, sometimes there would be a lingering feeling of missing something and sometimes there would be no difference from before the mating even took place.

In between the two lines of thoughts, there is the idea that you can undo a mating that is no longer wanted but at a price. The price could range from surgical modification to the threat of death. In some AUs, this is seen as taboo and something only the mentally unsound do. This type of unbonding is relatively rare because it involved som non-con because one party is normally forced to do something in these situations.
