Poisk Istiny [Finding Truth] - Prologue
Welcome to our World
Alphas/Betas/Omegas - Genders
There are male and females for each sub-gender. Alpha males have a knot that swells during intercourse, locking himself with his mate for the intention of mating while Alpha females have an internal knot that swells and locks her mate inside. Beta males and females have no altered body parts like Alphas and Omegas. Omega males produce slick and are capable of carrying children due to dual reproductive organs (they produce semen and have internal female organs. No external female parts). Omega females are close to Beta females except they are more fertile and produce more slick during times of arousal. They do not have dual reproductive organs like Omega males so for this reason, Alpha females and Omega female matings are not common.
Alphas/Betas/Omegas - Scents
Alpha scents are wood scents from hardwoods and softwoods to hearty bushes. Beta scents are ‘neutral’ and encompass a variety of nature scents from spring rain, fresh snow, and the ocean. Omega scents are floral from fragrant roses to fruit blossoms. Scents can be traced back to their country/region of origin. Although if a blood line is thin, they could take on the scent of an early descendant.
Regular Mating
Mating works just like dating; two people enjoy each other’s scents and company and start to date. If they decide to bond together, they do a mating ritual which includes mating bites (usually on the shoulder, but can be anywhere on the body) from each partner during an intimate moment (usually intercourse but doesn’t have to be). Mating pairs are Omega/Alpha, Alpha/Beta, or Beta/Omega. Although two genders can date and fool around together if they so chose, mating bites will not take. Once a pair is bonded, they take on the other’s scent along with their own.
To break a mating bond, it is extremely painful and expensive. Both partners must go through extensive separating procedures done through a licensed ‘Bond Breaker’ and it is complete when the mating mark has turned black.
How True Mates Work
True mates are similar to regular mating except they are ‘soul mates’. For each pair of true mates, they have a secondary scent that is the same for both partners. This secondary scent does not have to fall into the three ‘scent’ categories, it is a scent that pairs well and blends with the two mate’s scents. For example: Pine, Poinsettia, and Ginger. Secondary scents are built over time as two potential mates spend time together. Although it is accurate that true mates have a strong pull towards one another, it is not easily recognizable. A secondary scent becomes apparent and recognizable once a partner falls in love. During courting, the scent, primary and secondary, of one partner can linger on the other.
Unlike regular mating, once a True Mate pairing is made (the secondary scent is recognized by a partner) they couple takes on the other’s scent, even if no mating ritual has been performed. This can cause a problem if a regularly mated partner meets their true mate. There is a true mate for everyone, but it is rare for someone to find their True Mate during their fertile years and many settle for a compatible mate instead. Due to the painful nature of this, true mates discovered after a regular mating do not retain any relationship.
True mate bonds can not be broken.
Heats/Ruts
Omega males and females go through heats every three months and it is only at this time where conception is guaranteed. Conception out of a heat cycle is not impossible, however it is rare. Female Betas go through a mild form of heat cycles in which they are more fertile, but it is nowhere near the intensity it is for Omegas. There are heat suppressants available that stop the heat completely, but long term use has the potential to cause damage to the female reproductive organs. Once someone comes off of the suppressants, they immediately go into proliferation heat and risk for pregnancy is increased from that of a normal heat.
Alpha males and females go through a rut once a year and during extreme times of emotion. It is common for teenage Alphas to go through multiple ruts due to changing hormones and has led to many teenage pregnancies. A rut is common during a mating ritual and can occur multiple times during the first few years of a new mate bond. Beta males also have annual ruts, and are most fertile at this time.
Ruts and heats are not necessary for conception, but if both partners are in their cycles, it is highly likely a pregnancy will occur.

Krushnic Family Home
132-140 Peninsula Way, Lake Placid, New York.
With ten bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and over 17,000 square feet of just house, this residence has been home to the Krushnic Family for years and has served for many family vacations, meetings, and a far off place to torture for nearly a decade. The property is made up of two houses, a boathouse with an in-law suite, and an additional bathhouse. The main house has seven bedrooms for the main Krushnic family and basement has been converted into a large, multi roomed torture chamber.
The house contains many amenities for those relaxing times; an Olympic sized swimming pool, a gym on every floor, a deck to overlook the lake and property, and a Jacuzzi (which is great for getting blood out from under your nails). Between the two main properties is the Krushnic cemetery for the family to visit their dearly departed and has served as final resting place as long as a Krushnic has been Pakhan of the Bratva.
With many multi-car garages and room for storage, the house has been an asset to the family for all of their needs -- both nefarious and innocent. The lakefront is grand, with many boats to take out on the water, and it’s perfect for hiding bodies.
Castiel Krushnic’s House
4140 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.
With five bedrooms and six bathrooms, Castiel often wonders why the hell he hasn’t hired himself a maid. In the heart of Manhattan, the house is just far enough away from the club to separate business from pleasure, and Castiel is grateful for the nights he spends in his own bed instead of those where he falls asleep in his office. Being the Pakhan isn't easy, but it has it’s perks, and one of those is his private Library and Office which even Gabriel has never stepped foot into.
He has a pool, a six car garage, a freaking Gazebo… there’s really nothing more that he could ask for.
Gabriel Krusnic’s House
137 Hastings Street, Brooklyn New York.
With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this is the perfect location to start a family at. Like Castiel’s residence, Gabriel lives in style -- close enough to be close to his ‘day job’ but far enough away that he can pretend he enjoys the city and everything it brings. Plus, when you have money, you might as well spend it.
Dean Winchester’s House

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for Don Winchester to spread out and relax. If, that is, he ever has the chance to actually be home. With a fenced in yard, complete with patio, it’s perfect to take some time with his family out-of-Family. There’s a fireplace for the winter, plenty of room for a family of his own one day-- or, at this rate, Sam’s-- and close enough to the city that he can do what needs to be done.
