Yeahh, it's pretty rough trying to find stories where the Omega character is truly respected and totally independent from an Alpha. That's why I'm usually drawn to Alpha x Beta content. I really like that Betas are further removed from the Omega dynamic, and how they have to actively go against nature, destiny, and their physical limits to be with an Alpha because their bodies aren't as flexible as an Omega's or as strong as the Alphas, which creates great tension.
But the best part are the Alphas nearly dying to have them because they can't "submit" Betas or even make them feel pheromones, no matter how hard they try. That dynamic is absolutely everything! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Bro i hate these stories where the omega “can’t be” successful without needing the alpha in some way just look at how happy he was when he realized he could do it on his own
