We always have Love. Souls bound together will always find each other, and werewolves will never leave their love behind. Every wolf has a destined mate - normally another wolf - but sometimes they fall in love with someone else first. Sometimes they fall for their mate and meet the soon, other times they have loved and lost and waited a very long time before they meet their fated love. --- I simple enough role play that centers around the fabled 'Mate Bond' that binds two souls together when a Wolf is involved. In a small town a pack has made it's permanent homestead and the humans are generally oblivious to their presence. The pack has lived in the same place since long before the town was founded and they played a key role in the defense of the settlement. It's placed in northern British Columbia, near the mountains and far enough away from large cities for the wolves to remain unnoticed. The wolves here stick to a traditional and instinctive hierarchy, with the Alpha's at the top and Beta's just below them. When they aren't hunting and there isn't a huge threat to the pack, they tend to split off into groups of three and four, all ready at the Alpha's call. --- Rules 1) Activity is a must. If you're going to up and disappear then just us know. 2) Unlimited amount of characters. Keep sex ratio's even, be creative. Humans, wolves and hunters allowed. no vampires. 3) Posts should be between two and six paragraphs with a mild level of descriptions and some action. Try to be creative. Don't use all dialogue, it's boring. 4) All Guild rules apply 5) My word is law! More can and will be added later. --- [hider=Character Template] [center] "Quote" Appearance - both human and wolf.

It's bad. Deal with it. [/hider] [hider=Mate Bonds] The Mate Bond is not innately sexual; it is an attraction and a love, a desire to be together that often leads to sexual intimacy and relationships though often it remains as a silent reminder of love for a very long time - especially in the case of a mature wolf finding his mate when she is young. When not intimate they will want to be around one another, in each others lives one way or another. In cases when it is a wolf finding his mate is human, then the human remains oblivious to the bond, unless she is more sensitive then the average human. In such cases the wolf must decide for themselves, how to go about dealing with the bond. It's rare that a wolf really cares about age differences, because a wolf is deemed an adult when they are mature - age sixteen at the latest, fourteen at the earliest - and usually will mate and bear young before they reach twenty.
