So what happens with the corruption mostly depends on the loyalty and trust of the mate or mates within the pack, just like the healing of the corruption as well! In theory you could indeed possibly heal the corruption but as you’ve also said it is extremely difficult especially since kindness causes them pain which in turn may corrupt them even more?
So they would suffer and so would the mates, and children, which just wouldn’t be worth it unless you are willing to take days, weeks, even months or years trying to save what is left of the bitty that you love going back and forth until you succeed or the goop… melts them fully or.. has them pass on their own or by another’s/your own hand
How deep of a lie hurts the alpha?
Like a white lie not intentional of hurting the pack? Like where they get food from when in an abandoned situation when not returned to you?
Or perhaps a lie about liking another alpha?
Or maybe a lie about wanting to be their mate?
Or even a lie about harming another bitty? Or being hurt?
Does the pain or hurting of another mate have to be physical or can it be emotional as well?
What if it’s just rough housing and they accidentally hurt the other mate? Will it also cause corruption?
Bad intentions can be vague so like betrayal- is it perhaps like taking in another alpha, as in trying to replace the other alpha? Perhaps even wanting to harm to the rejected children or other children not of their own? Or maybe just simply wanting to cause the alpha pain?
Oh! And… so if a pack had a corrupted alpha, will the pack try to leave and find another alpha? To be comforted or feel protected from their previous one?
Im sorry for such a long list of questions ^^’ I just couldn’t help my rambling
AlphaMamaLioness: Hello! ^w^ And don't worry, I'm really happy to answer all your doubts and curiosities, this also allows me to ground more my universe rules and details.
1°) That's the detail about it… A corrupted Alpha will suffer from constant pain and be eaten by the darkness slowly, the pain from the darkness is vicious and cause addiction, so makes it hard for the victim to be out of it… on the other side, the kindness and caring its a different type of pain to a corrupted alpha, its a cold and uncomfortable, like the pain of abstinence… That's why is so hard, the Alpha needs to WANT to be healed to endure this.
2°) It depends on the level of the lie, the little lies of the day by day it is like just a scratch (White Lie) and they don't even notice much, will take a good amount of time to have a dangerous level of corruption.
Examples of White Lies: Lie about liking another alpha but not, Lying about wanting mating but not, lying about be or not fear of the alpha, lying about their past relationship, lying about the health status of themselves or their relatives, lying about causing minor levels of pain to another pack member or being hurt, and etc…
3°) The pain or hurting of another mate can be physical AND emotional as well since some emotions can be really deep, more than the physical.
4°) Roughhousing, playing and accidents can't cause any corruption, it needs to have the INTENTION TO HURT to cause any damage.
5°) Taking another alpha without the consent of their main alpha is really dangerous and causes deep damage, but hurting their own children or another's mate's children causes even more hurt.
6°) It depends on how stable the bond of the pack is to the Alpha, but they will try to leave if the means is to protect the babies.
