ABIGAIL | Werewolf AU HCs (requested by @simpingforclaudette)
THE PACK ────── FROM RATS TO WOLVES
FRANK
──────── GIFs are not mine
Frank is definitely an alpha and sees himself as the pack leader, not only in being the primary in affiliation with Lambert, but as a former detective, he can't handle not being in control.
he's used to being on his own, which is why he's the most aggressive. he hasn't had to "teamwork" with anyone, so when he can't do things his way, he possesses aggressive, almost feral, behavior.
he HATES commands or simulating any kind of domestic-dog affiliations.
he's constantly scratching and grooming himself, due to stress. it's hard for him to sit still.
he will challenge ANYONE for dominance and will even go to killing to prove himself as an alpha.
guard-dog material but snobbish, so he picks and chooses who he defends.
PETER
──────── GIFs are not mine
Peter looks like an alpha, but he doesn't have any controlling tendencies or desires.
he'd take being a lone wolf over being in a pack, because he doesn't like taking directions. he likes to do whatever he wants.
he looks to Frank as the alpha and Rickles as the deputy of the pack.
he's desperate to imprint on someone and sees himself as more of a domestic dog than a wild animal. in other words, he thinks he's a lapdog.
When he was younger, he would hunt for fun, because he enjoyed the thrill of it.
he's the most skittish of the pack, choosing to flee from a vampire, cat, enemy before fight. however, his fear makes him highly aggressive when cornered.
SAMMY

Sammy is very much the puppy of the pack. she has the most energy and expresses it through her feelings, which makes her appear to be the most dramatic.
she's a follower and sees Joey as the female alpha. if asked, she'd say Joey is the pack leader, rather than Frank, and will lick her as a sign of respect.
she's the only one in the pack that wears a collar.
she has the best hearing of the pack, which leaves her to be moderately observant and curious. yes, she's a star for the iconic head-tilt that German Shepherds are commonly known for haha.
she's a very vocal wolf. she barks, howls, whines, etc. the most.
as impulsive, young, and careless as she seems, she has the most control over phasing.
DEAN
──────── GIFs are not mine
Dean is a lone wolf, but he doesn't know a stranger. He lives primarily as a scavenger, eating off of scraps left behind by other predators or werewolves.
he's a full-blooded omega, friendly, chill, and very submissive; however, he's very good at problem-solving. he's the escape-artist of the pack.
he will do anything for a bribe: treats, money, bones, toys, etc.
he will chase anything that moves, especially small animals, but often runs into everything while doing it.
he knows no boundaries, so he doesn't hesitate to get into the business of other wolves when they're eating, grooming, sleeping, etc. they get mad and snap at him, but he keeps coming back.
he's the only one of the pack that likes water/will swim.
RICKLES
──────── GIFs are not mine
Rickles was born to be in a pack. coming from a military background, he's the most reliable for protection, even if he doesn't get along with everyone.
he's the best hunter of the pack, with a good sense of direction.
he possesses strong alpha energy but will acknowledge Frank as the pack leader. however, like Sammy, he does value Joey as the female alpha and shows great respect for her.
he's the calmest in stressful situations and is the first to keep the others in line, possessing a strong herding instinct. he will bite the scruffs of the others, when they're acting too out-of-line or as a protective gesture, the way a pup would be grabbed when correcting behavior or placement.
he hates being blindsided or being in a submissive position.
he's the most spontaneous phaser and often uses markings on trees and howling as a form of communication.
JOEY
──────── GIFs are not mine
Joey is the female alpha of the pack by nature, even though Sammy & Rickles already see her as one.
she's the most reserved of the pack and the best tracker, having the best sense of smell.
due to her being a mother and a medic, she's very gentle.
she's very mouthy, even though she's well out of puppyhood. she uses her jaws like hands and chews on many different things, especially when she's feeling stressed or anxious.
she knows many commands the way a domestic dog would, however she only does them for Abigail. her "shake" symbolizes their pinky-promise.
she's the most agile of the pack, able to move quick and efficiently, very much like one would expect of a Border Collie or Belgian Shepherd.
these lowkey turned out to be more like normal wolf headcanons, instead of werewolf ones, because i didn't add any werewolf lore but oh well. i hope you like them anyways! if not, i'm sorry 🩶🩶🩶
