Beta
A sub-gender. Ability to impregnate other omegas and betas, can bear children by alphas, omegas, and betas. Goes through heats and ruts and can produce slick and form knots. Has a uterus and a vagina that can withstand an alpha's knot. Their pheromones are weaker compared to the other sub-genders along with their fertility.

Presenting
A stage in a person's life where their sub-genders are revealed. Omegas tend to present earlier than other sub-genders. From ages 10-16. Alphas tend to present around 16-18. Due to their extra reproductive systems, betas tend to present much later, around 17-20.
Heats
A cycle of time where an omega or beta is at their highest hormonal cycle and fertility rate. Their sub-genders take complete control over their body causing them to be extremely vulnerable but they are still aware of what is happening around them. They range from 3 to 8 days.
Nests
A comfort space created in a bed or a safe and sheltered area by omegas and betas. They're made in many different shapes and forms.
Ruts
A cycle of time where an alpha is at their highest hormonal cycle and fertility rate. Their pheromones and commands are stronger and harder to resist during this time. Their sex drive is high and they form knots more frequently. Alphas have a harder time staying lucid compared to other sub-genders during their cycles because it is the only time their alphas allow them to rest and be vulnerable. They range from 2 to 6 days.
Dens
The living space of an alpha or beta.
An area created in a bed or a safe space by an alpha or beta with the intention or purpose of an omega or beta creating a nest for them.
Scent glands
An area of skin that produces pheromones in the form of an extremely thin oil-like bodily liquid. can attract a potential mate and express feelings. Appears as regular skin and is approximately 3 inches long. Can become raised or swollen when actively stimulated, irritated by constant concealment, or negative emotions. Scent gland locations: left and right side of the neck, cheeks, inner wrists, hips, and lower inner thighs.
Sub Drop
An action triggered by an emotional reaction that forces their sub-genders into control to protect themselves. Can be dangerous if triggered by negative emotions or a traumatic event. The person becomes semi-unresponsive, almost as if they're in a wakened comatose state.
Feral
A person is feral when a traumatic event takes place that juts their instincts into overdrive causing their sub-gender to completely take control of their body, sheltering themselves and lashing out using violence.
Commands
An authoritative tone of voice used by alphas and prime omegas that can order and control other sub-genders to their will.
Scruff
A form of restraining or controlling someone by applying a two-point pressure to the back of the neck with the use of the canines of someone's teeth or the tips of someone's fingers. There's a nerve located at the base of the neck that triggers a relaxed state of mind with the right amount of pressure. Depending on the length and pressure of the scruff, a person can fall into a comfortable subspace or come up from a subdrop at various speeds.
Marks
A mark caused by the venom of a person’s fangs when bitten into a scent gland. The right scent gland on the neck is for permanent mating bonds. Inner right wrist for temporary pack bonds. Permanent pack bonds can be placed anywhere on the body due to the potency of an alpha’s venom.
