Alpha/Beta/Omega

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!

Scott didn't know how long a werewolf's heat would last, but he was thinking that, as long as Isaac wanted him to, maybe he could take care of him for the time being and satisfy all the needs he had... At least until the heat wore off. It was probably safer that way, after all. Scott thinks that it's better that he's the one who does it instead of Derek or the rest of his pack, even if Isaac's a part of that... Or even worse, one of the alphas that could have gotten to him first, when Isaac didn't even have the will to say no.

"I could kind of tell," He replies with a soft laugh. Scott eventually rests his head on Isaac's shoulder, idly wondering if they should try to clean up, but right now he's more interested in tending to his new mate... Or that's what he hoped they were now.

"Because you needed me," He shifts a little, which draws an unintended moan from him as he's reminded that he's still deep inside Isaac, but it just makes him laugh a little more, hugging Isaac tighter. "I always know where you are at school, and your scent changed. I don't know how I knew what it meant, but I had to find you, and... I didn't want somebody else to get to you first. I knew it had to be me."

Sorry for my super short responses :(

Isaac smiled and turned his head to the side and gave Scott a soft look. "I've always needed you...didn't know it until now, but..." he says with slight awe in his voice.

"Can I...um. Can I kiss you?"

Never apologize! <33

Scott can't help but smile as Isaac turns to look at him and says more than he ever expected to hear, more than he could have hoped for. His chest feels tight, and he just can't help feeling excited. Scott wants to to ask if that means what he thinks it means, but he doesn't bother with words for the moment.

Pulling Isaac closer, he leans in and presses his lips to the other wolf's, kissing him gently at first, trying things out before slowly trying to coax Isaac's lips apart, wanting to show him just how much he was loved.

Isaac smiles against the other Beta's lips, loveing how gentle Scott was being despite their previous activities and the fact that he was still inside him and Isaac can feel Scotts cum dripping out of himself and dribbling down the back of his legs. He didn't care though, he was focused more on his emotions at the moment.

He parts his lips allowing the Scott access to his mouth and melts into it. There are so many emotions behind it, and Isaac returns them back just as strongly.

Scott is trying to take things slowly now that Isaac, at least for the moment, isn't so desperate for relief. He doesn't know exactly what Isaac wants out of this, whether it was just going to be rough and desperate like a few minutes ago, or if they were going to try for something deeper.

He'd felt drawn to the other wolf for a while now, so he hoped there really was something to this. Either way, he's not thinking for a moment, taking the opportunity to take the kiss deeper, moaning softly against Isaac's lips as he explores his mouth.

"I love you, Isaac," He murmurs sincerely and adoringly. It'd probably be sweet, if it wasn't for Scott eventually being reminded that he's still hard and inside his mate, prompting him to roll his hips slowly a little bit to keep them this way.

"I love you too. So much." He whispers back, inbetween sensual kisses with his mate before gasping when Scott rolls his hips and reminds Isaac as well that he is still insiode of him and it is absolutely delicious. He pushes back, his own cock regainbing interest.

He reaches down and pumps himself a few times as he kisses Scott with a little more passion, wanting another round with his new mate,

It wasn't hard for Scott to get back into things, especially since the scent of Isaac's hear, even thought he wasn't an alpha, was driving him wild and he never really went down while inside his mate. He was going to ride this out with Isaac, as long as he needed, and from then on afterward.

Scott was feeling a bit more aware of everything now, and since Isaac wasn't so desperate to get off in a hurry, so he reaches down to take over for Isaac's hand, wrapping his fingers around his best friend's shaft and stroking him in time with his thrusts.
