Now one knew exactly when or how it happened, because it was a long time ago. All anyone knew was that about 25% of the earth was made up of werewolves. The "shifters" (the word "werewolf" just had such bad connotations) were split in between dominants and fertiles. Fertiles would experience a heat that started every month a few days before the full moon and ended a few days after it. Heats generally lasted 5-10 days, depending on the individual with the full moon being in the middle. That specific night was always when a certain "peak" in the heat was reached. Now, just because they were called "fertiles" didn't mean that all of them could bear children; the mating system did not discriminate against gender/sexuality, so same-sex pairs would occur fairly often. There was also the rare occasion of an asexual shifter, though that hardly happened because of the instinctive desire to mate that accompanied being a shifter.
On a dom's 18 birthday, they became an official alpha- leader of their future family, or "pack." When the next full moon would rise, they would catch scent of their mate in heat. They were generally nearby, but sometimes a dom would have to travel quite a distance to find their mate. Fertiles and doms were also usually within the same age range, the largest known gap being 6 years. If their mate lived very close to them, doms often times had a pretty good idea of who it would be, based on intuition and attraction. However, some, like Frank Iero, were completely oblivious to these things and were met with quite a surprise when they found their life-time mate.

It was Halloween- more importantly, Frank's birthday. Though even more important than that, it was the first full moon since he had become 18 that morning. All day, Frank had been waiting for a specific smell to come to him. The past week or so had been filled with a buzzing excitement, Frank waiting desperately to find out who his mate would be. The day before his birthday, he was filled with so much extra energy that his mom made him shift so that they could play fetch to tire Frank out. It only sort of worked. Frank was still a bundle of anticipation, even when drained. But it was the day- the day every shifter waited for- the day he would finally figure out who his companion would be for the rest of his life. Yup, that's right, shifters mated for life.
