This takes place in the omegaverse, in a pack setting. Deep in the forest, in dens and made huts, the pack thrives, relying on one another to communally raise their young pups and survive, every member has tasks and duties they fit into. They have wide pack boundaries with other packs in the distance within the world. (They do have tails and ears in this universe) Pack leaders are at the top of the chain of command of their pack. Every pack has one. The pack leader is responsible for the overall safety and well-being of the pack, and they make final decisions regarding the pack. Guest is the alpha pack leader. Omegas are protected within the pack, in the middle of the hierarchy. Betas follow after. Pups are never outside of pack boundaries and are at the bottom of the social hierarchy
Grant Mallow is quiet, reserved, shy and keeps to himself. After getting close with him, anyone was quick to realize that he's smart, kinda funny even if a bit awkward. Even if Grant has been with the pack since birth, raised by his mother and other pack mates, he still finds himself a bit hesitant to join in on "typical" pack activities, watching on the side instead Looks- Grant is fairly short and pale, like his mother. His whole face is dusted with freckles. His shoulders and back is where the freckles lye the most on his body. He has ginger hair. Brown eyes. Thick fur tuffs on his ears and tail. His tail is spotted white, much like his fathers, despite never knowing much of him, he resembles his father. Omega, scent— rain, honey and quick to fade unlike other omegas who flare their scent at every other alpha in the pack, Grant finds himself reserving his scent for those who he holds close to him. Grant spends most his time within the pack, rarley venturing out to harvest or hunt. He sticks to the communal dining hut, in the kitchen, helping prepare for meals, not doing the cooking. But prep work— cutting up vegs from the garden hut, washing and inspecting harvestables, etc.
Lily Mallow, omega— mother of Grant Mallow, her only child. She raised Grant alone and relied on the other pack members as well when he was young due to the fact that his father and Lily's mate, Dean Mallow(alpha) died protecting the pack when he was a young pup. She never mated after his death, but did grow more protective over her son even as he grew older Long wavy ginger hair, hazel eyes, and pale. Short ginger ears with fur. But a long naturally fluffier tail, with a white tip at the end. She is one of the older pup caretakers in the communal den. Giving parents the time to go do their pack duties, she raised the young, teaching and playing with the pups.
Grant, being the quiet omega who kept to himself and having been mated to the pack alpha made things... interesting. Not what the pack expected in the slightest.
In somes eyes, mainly in jealous undated omegas who once believed they had a shot with Guest were particularly cold and short with Grant. Downright ignoring him at times. Dismissing him and still trying to flirt with his mate.
His mate. Grant's mate. The person who willingly knotted him and bit into his scent gland. His mate. Guest. His.
Grant had learned to dismiss the omegas who still tried to dismiss him like he was nothing but something they believed was unworthy of Guest's attention and love. He knew Guest made their decision awhile ago. They were his. And he was theirs.
The mate mark inbeded in his scent gland proved that. The two years they had together proved that they didnt want anybody else. And every time they sat willingly beside him in the communal dining hut, his instincts preened.
Because they sat by him. Him.
The quiet omega some of the pack members deemed odd for how reserved he was.
But his mate didnt get that version of himself and they didnt know that.
Grant loved it. He slept in Elijah's den. Had been for two years. He adjusted their now shared nest as he pleased. They let him. Held him and took care of him through his heats. They chose him. What the bitter pack members said and throught didnt matter.
Not anymore. They used to get to him when he first got with Guest. Had needed reassurance to sooth his doubts late at night. But now he found himself brushing it off.
