THE ALPHA/BETA/OMEGA MEME


In our world, sexual roles are commonly defined by genders -- male or female or other, by sexualities -- gay or straight, bi or asexual or in-between. But what if they were defined by something else entirely?

Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse is a fusion of fanfiction tropes and animalistic behavior. In this world, sexual roles are divided into three categories: the Alphas (the dominant, the protective and the aggressive), the Betas (ordinary humans) and the Omegas (submissive, fertile and able to carry children).

CONTENT WARNING: Below the cut contains descriptions of animalistic sexual behavior as applied to humans, situations of dubious consent, explicit situations, mpreg, and scenarios of societal oppression. Click with caution!

 

ROLES:
1 - The Alpha.
* Stereotypically type A personalities.
* Anatomically: Males have a penis; females may have a penis in addition to a vagina.
* Alphas knot their mates, meaning that the base of the penis swells and locks them inside their mate while they produce copious amounts of semen in an effort to breed.
* Strong sense of smell.
* Near an Omega in heat, they experience a compulsion to mate that is almost impossible to overcome.
* Alphas may go into rut, which is their equivalent of Omega heat, and drives them to mate.

2 - The Beta.
* Ordinary human being.
* Males have penises; females have vaginas.
* Can mate to anyone.
* Might be able to smell hormones of Omegas and Alphas, but will not be overwhelmingly affected by them.

3 - The Omega.
* Stereotypically submissive, quiet, intelligent and less physically able.
* Female anatomy is similar to Betas; males are self-lubricating and may have either an external or internal vaginal setup.
* Regularly go into heat, which involves being overcome by the urge to mate. They are unable to consent while in heat.
* May be made compliant by a bite to the neck. However, that may also induce a mating bond.
* Often regarded as second-class citizens or prizes to be won.

SITUATIONS:
1 - Bonding - Love at first sight. You've spotted your soulmate. You can smell them, you can feel them, you know that they'll be with you until the end of your days. Unless there's something between the two of you. It could be age - maybe one of you has to wait until the other has reached maturity. It could be that the bond is one-sided, and the other has yet to fall in love. It could be an unwanted bond, or society could have divided you into different places. Is your love strong enough to conquer?

2 - Heat/Rut - The need is coming on you strong. Everyone for a half-mile around can smell it. Better find someone to ride it out with, or hole yourself up in a room with a few bottles of water and a durable sex toy. And you'd better hope that there isn't someone out there who will take advantage of your pliable state. Best case scenario, there might be a Beta who can take care of you, or fend off anyone too predatory.

3 - Pregnancy - Whether through a heat or not, you're pregnant. Congratulations - or condolences. Is it time to start a family, or time to start panicking?

4 - Suppressants - You're using suppressants to keep yourself on an even hormone cycle, skipping heats, or maybe pretending to pass as a different class of society. After all, Omegas might want to be in the military, where they're not usually allowed - or an Alpha might want to take a job in a university or as a nurse. Shouldn't they be allowed to, if their hormones are suppressed? Just hope that you don't miss a dose.

5 - Mistaken Identity - That friend that you always thought was an Alpha, or an Omega, or a neutral Beta, turns out to be something entirely different, and your world is turned absolutely upside down. Does it challenge your preconceptions? Or does it just ruin the balance between you two?

6 - Unlikely Pairs - After all, there's no actual reason that Alphas have to mate with Omegas. Maybe two Omegas can satisfy each other. Or two Alphas. Or your intended mate could easily be a Beta. Maybe this is just about breaking out of your pre-established role and becoming something new.

7 - Manifestation - In some cases, an individual may not know they are Omega, Beta or Alpha until their first heat/rut/manifestation, usually happening in early teen years. It may take you by surprise; it may be a blessing, or may be a deep disappointment.

8 - Other - Adventures in getting jobs, making families, fighting bad guys, and anything else you can come up with!

"Yeah, don't want to be at school for any longer than I have to be." He says adding a small chuckle, due to the fact that no one was around, and he could drop the whole badassness act that he portrayed during the day. He shuffled a bit, looking to his feet for a moment, before regaining his gaze.

"Got any big plans for the weekend?" He asked, shoving his hands in his pockets so that he wouldn't figit nervously.

[wolfsbaned]

"Who, me? No, not really," Scott admits, which is kind of a first for him, seeing as how his life has been nothing but chaos and non-normalcy lately. It'll be nice to just hang out at home and do absolutely nothing for a change. Isaac's movement sends another fresh wave of scent wafting over in Scott's direction, though, and he steps forward, breathing in through his nose.

"Is that a new shampoo?" he asks, blurting out the question before he thinks it.

[came2win]

The fact that Scott didn't have plans made him feel better, glad that the name Allison hadn't passed his lips. He doesn't notice the movement forward, but he is a little shocked at his question.

He can't help but let his inner wolf do a little happy dance. "You noticed." It was more of a statement than an answer, but a bright smile crawled its way onto his face. "Figured I'd try something new." He said, really wanting to asked if he approved, but luckily he managed to not embarrass himself by opening his mouth.

[wolfsbaned]

"Yeah, well. Hard not to notice," Scott replies, and the other thing that's hard not to notice is the way Isaac smiles at that, slow and broad, and Scott finds himself smiling too, reaching out to gently adjust the collar of Isaac's shirt since it's currently folded inward.

His fingertips linger there, gently brushing against the pulse point on the side of his neck, and that scent fills his nose again, thick and hot.

[came2win]

"R-really?" he stutters out. Isaac wants to slap himself at the weakness he is showing. Subconsciously he leans his head to the side, when Scott fixes his collar, damn he is so thoughtful, not realizing that he is baring his neck to the other wolf in a submissive way, like a Beta to an Alpha, which is weird because they're both Beta's, well, according to their last wolf out session together months ago.

Isaac swallows hard and licks his lips letting out a shaky breath as his soft tan fingers stoke his sensitive pulse point.

[wolfsbaned]

"Really." Scott doesn't think, he just reacts; when Isaac bares his throat like that, exposing the curve of his neck, he leans in, teeth raking across the skin to nip possessively, his fingers gripping the strap of Isaac's backpack so he can't move away from it.

He lingers in his space, taking another deep breath, and feels - better for having done that, somehow. Like there's a less of a weight on his chest.

[came2win]

Isaac's nerves practically light on fire as he feels the teeth against his thin skin, feelings of home and lust and every emotion in between rushes through him, and it feels perfect, it feels right. He lets out a slight whine, as he is nipped, they are just adding to the fire, heating up his body and turning him into a submissive little puppy, which in a sense it was. The way Scott's teeth raked against his neck screamed Alpha.

He moves his head back to his neutral position and opens his lids slowly, gazing at the wolf with a hint of his beta gold eyes, not wanting Scott to move any further away from him, and boy is he glad the school is deserted at the moment.

[wolfsbaned]

Scott's breathing a little harder than normal, reaching out with one hand to brace it against the bank of lockers behind Isaac's head, stepping forward to get rid of all remaining distance between them. He doesn't quite notice that the flash in his own eyes is closer to red than gold now, or maybe a blend of something between the two colors.

He swipes a thumb across Isaac's full lower lip, the sound of that whine doing some pretty interesting things down below as he nuzzles the mark he's left on Isaac's neck, leaving his scent on him.

[came2win]

Isaac wanted to pinch himself and hoped this wasn't another one of his dreams, he didn't think it was though, he could feel the cold metal of the lockers on his back and the warm soft body pressed against his front.

This was all too much for him to take in at once. He licked his lips, taking in the remaining taste from Scott's thumb onto his tongue and processed the fact that Scott had scented him.

"What are you doing?" He asks, not trusting him to say anything else but short sentences.

[wolfsbaned]

"What does it look like?" Scott's voice is hushed, low. Even though his mind is racing with a million things at this point, he forces himself to take a step back, hand still braced against the lockers. Whatever he wants to do - and he's not even sure he understands it himself - it can't be in this spot.

"Not here," he replies, taking a second to clear his head.

[came2win]

"Where then?" Isaac asks, eager and completely into whatever had gotten into Scott. He liked it. He made him feel alive and safe and he was addicted. He moved forward, when Scott moved back not wanting any distance between them. He wanted more.

[wolfsbaned]

"Somewhere. Anywhere, just - " Scott leans in, taking in the other boy's scent. It's drawing him in more than he thought was even possible.

[came2win]

"Your place." He suggests, leaning in himself and nuzzling at the other boys neck, breathing in his scent, loving every part of it and aching for more.

[wolfsbaned]

"Come on." Scott fists a grip in Isaac's shirt for a few seconds before he remembers where they are and releases his hold, letting his hand swing down by his side.

It takes everything he has not to run at breakneck speed until they reach his house, but they get there soon enough, and he gets his keys out to let them inside. "Mom's at the hospital," he explains, though he doesn't know why he feels the need to, the memory of Isaac's breath on his neck enough to make his skin hot.

[came2win]

"Whatever." He says following him into the house like a second skin, lips on whatever part of him he can reach. He didn't care who is around anymore, the minutes that it took to get to Scotts house hand him craving him like nothing else before. His mom could be watching from the kitchen table and he wouldn't have stopped. He had waited way to long for this and it was finally happening. His crush wanted him back.

[wolfsbaned]

"Isaac, hold on," Scott murmurs, chuckling softly as the other boy literally glues himself to his body, barely an inch of space between them as they shuffle into the house. "At least come upstairs first, alright?"

He figures his mom isn't going to be back any time soon, but he'd prefer not to scar her for life. His hand slips into Isaac's to lead him up the stairs, but he barely waits until the door shuts behind them to press the beta up against it, both hands fisting in the material of his shirt as he kisses him, hard.

[came2win]

Isaac just chuckles, but does what he is requested and gives him a bit of space, expecting to follow the boy up the stairs. He is overjoyed when he feels the warmth of the other hand in his and grins like an idiot when he laces their fingers together and lets Scott guide him to his room.

He lets out a gasp as he is pushed back against the door, but quickly regains himself and kisses the other wolf back just as hard and needy as before. His hands go to the dark eyed boys hair and tangles in the soft locks, deepening the kiss. This feels so right, he just hopes that the other wolf feels the same way.

"Scott..." he moans out as he takes a breath before letting his tongue explore Scott's mouth.

[wolfsbaned]

Scott slides the backpack off Isaac's shoulder, practically tossing it across the room before he gets his hands on him, roaming and exploring. They push underneath the hem of Isaac's shirt, coaxing it up and over his head and possibly ripping it a little in the process, all in haste to get it off him. His hips keep Isaac pinned against the door as he strips off his own shirt, needing more skin contact.

He doesn't go in for another kiss, moving his lips to Isaac's throat instead, claiming him with a small mark at his neck, and then he slowly mouths over the other boy's chest, his fingers already working open the button on his jeans.

[came2win]

The slight tear of his shirt was deafeningly loud as it was tugged off of him. He wasn't mad that it was tore, in fact he made it a warning for all his other clothes of what might happen if they don't comply when it is time to come off, how he thinks of this crap when he is pinned to the door by Scott is beyond him, maybe he has been hanging out with Stiles too much.

How Scott has the strength in his hips to still a needy werewolf is quite impressive, the delicious frictions heightens the sensation as his eyes roam the other wolf's impressive body.

Isaac moans again with the scrape of his teeth against his neck, the mark healing itself quickly, taunting the other wolf to mark him up some more. Isaac's eyes flutter shut as his mouth moves along his chest, he lets his hands fall down to Scott's waist, fingers roaming the expanse of soft flesh, dipping into the waistband, teasing him.

[wolfsbaned]

Scott's eyes flash in frustration as that mark heals, and he braces both hands against the door on either side of Isaac's body, preventing him from moving away as he dips his head back up to bury his face against his throat, snarling possessively while he leaves another mark, a none-too-gentle bite with his elongated canines, his wolf beginning to rear up a little more obviously from the inside out.

He bats Isaac's hands away from him, playfully, a small grin on his lips that looks more like wolf than boy with his teeth, and he's down and back up in a blur of movement as he shucks Isaac's jeans off, tugging them down his hips and past his knees.

"Get on the bed," he growls, shifting forward to press their hips together, feeling the hot length of Isaac's erection through his own jeans.

[came2win]

Isaac howls in both pleasure and pain as his neck is bitten, damn Scott was serious about marking him, he hoped Derek wouldn't notice or decide to make Isaac's life a living hell, because he liked this side of Scott, he was so powerful, so strong, so god damn sexy.

He pouts up at him, but complies and let's his hands fall to his side, before using one to reach out and steady himself on Scott's shoulder, from the sudden movement and hisses when the denim scrapes roughly over his bare erection.

he listens to the command and his cock twitches at the tone and the thoughts of what might be coming. Instinctively, he slips out of Scott's arm cage and kicks off the rest of his own jeans before crawling on the bed, getting on all fours before looking back over his shoulder at the other wolf, bottom lip caught between his teeth as he pulls off the most innocent of looks, despite the way he has been acting and feeling previously.

"Like this?" he asks as if he were a virgin attempting to do this for the first time, his voice was light and airy, and would have totally pulled off the act, if it wasn't for the twitch of his lips into a slight smirk.

[wolfsbaned]

Scott's practically tempted to bite down on his own fist as Isaac slides out from between him and the door, stepping out of the remainder of his clothes before he crawls onto the bed on all fours and glances back at him invitingly, a complete contrast to the bashfulness he'd displayed earlier.

He presses the heel of his hand against the front of his pants, rubbing his cock through his jeans to try and help, but it's too late - he's rock hard and throbbing painfully, and all he can do now is take off the rest of his clothes, shoving jeans and briefs down with both hands and kicking the pile of clothes across the floor as he crosses the room to crawl onto the bed behind Isaac, sliding a hand up the inside of his thigh.

"Like that," he replies, eyes dark and flashing with want as he kneels behind the other wolf, using palms to massage and knead his backside, coaxing the cheeks apart. He slicks a finger in his mouth and then presses the tip to Isaac's entrance, gently circling that puckered hole before slowly pushing in, testing his readiness.

[came2win]

Isaac watched Scott approach him with a hungry look, wanting the raven haired boy more than ever. He let out a throaty growl and shuddered as Scott ran his hand up the inside of his thigh. He watched Scott with great anticipation, eyes filled with lust, but when he saw the long digit enter his mouth, his eyes close and head falls forward, causing his body to open up slightly more for the other wolf.

He spreads his legs at the non verbal command and shakes his ass a bit, the need and heat still overtaking his body. Isaac moaned, loudly, his silent pleas answered as his puckered entrance is teased and tested, this is what he is really craving, even though he didn't know this is what he wanted. Now, there was not other thought or want that did not include having the dominant wolf inside him. His eyes flash gold and his canines extend as he loses his control a bit and bites a pillow to muffle the sounds he is making.
