Alpha/Beta/Omega in fanfiction. Wtf is it?

1.17K views

I am a fan content creator in a couple of communities and recently I’ve been getting a lot of requests for A/B/O or Alpha!(character name) and Beta!(other character name) or some such.

I have seen glances into this scrolling past it, and from the tag “knotting” I’m gonna assume this is some wolf or furry alternate universe trope?

Someone please explain I’m so confused but knowing the internet I’m kinda scared to look it up, but don’t want to miss out on potential commissions. Help.

I don’t know details, because i avoid it like the plague. But yes, it’s wolf pack au. Sort of. It’s like pack dynamics but with people. These stories often have an entire world like this with people being alpha’s (leader types), beta’s (majority) or omega’ s (the outcasts). You’ll probably find more info on fanlore. Knotting is a ‘wolf’ sex thing.

These stories can be as wild and as soft as you want. It’s a very popular genre. There’s nothing scary about it, don’t worry! I don’t like reading it myself, but not for any weird or scary reasons.
