- Uncommon Law: when a mating becomes officially recognized as legal by the government after shifter cohabitation of a prescribed amount of time or bite marking. If unavailable in your state (like California) or country then matings must be officially registered as domesticated mates or married spouses (under human laws). Alphas (or alpha level shifters) with mates are more welcome in most civilian areas.
