When wolves mate, it’s not casual. It’s primal, hormonal, and strategic. They don’t just breed, they bond.

First comes the chase. She tests him, makes him prove his worth with play, patience, and persistence. If he’s too eager? She puts him in his place. Too lazy? He’s out.

But if he respects her timing and reads her right, she lets him closer. And when they finally lock up—yes, literally—they’re tied together, back to back, until it’s done.

It’s awkward. It’s intense. And it works.

Because for wolves, sex isn’t just about pleasure. It’s about partnership, territory, and survival.

So next time someone calls themselves your “alpha,” ask if they’ve ever earned it the wolf way. Through restraint, respect… and a little well-timed growl.
