Page 91 of Sweetheart: Part One

Before arrival, the pack will have been assessed by The Sweetheart Agency for eligibility. A Sweetheart’s duty is to adapt to the needs of the pack she or he is assigned. A package will be received on signing with all relevant information of the alphas in question.

I looked through the pages and pages of reporting. My eyes scanned the self assessment sheets with boxes that each of them had checked off, lingering on the most interesting parts:

Love:

Ruts: 1-3 times a year

Outlets: reading

Rut Management strategy: medication

Mood swings: infrequent

Violence and aggression: infrequent

Drake:

Ruts: 1-3 times a year.

Outlets: job, walks, and hobbies such as music and movies.

Rut management strategy: medication

Mood swings: infrequent

Violence and aggression: none reported.

Rook:

Ruts: infrequent, none on record.

Outlets: workouts, sexual excursions (casual), work.

Mood swings: frequent

Disruptive behaviour enough to cause setbacks on self set goals: very frequent

Violence and aggression: frequent

Ebony:

Ruts: five + times a year.

Outlets: workouts and job.

Rut management strategy: medication

Mood swings: none

Disruptive behaviour enough to cause setbacks on self set goals: frequent

Violence and aggression: none

My eyes scanned the pages further until I found the final summary from the examiner.

Highly unstable with the potential for violence. In need of balancing and currently on an unsustainable trajectory without intervention. Professional recommendations: Experienced Sweetheart or omega.

Writer noted unreliable self reporting with significant differences between self qualifications versus statements made by pack mates. It’s clear that these alphas need balancing on both an individual and pack level. For those in a bond, they are isolated, which likely further contributes to individual imbalance.
