'''Alpha/Beta/Omega''', sometimes called '''Alpha/Omega''' or '''Omegaverse''', is a [[kink]] [[trope]] wherein some people have defined biological roles based on a [[Dominance Hierarchy|hierarchical system]]. The terms were borrowed from older behavior research on captive wolves that had been misappropriated by popular culture, but do not reflect current wolf behaviour research.<ref>[https://wolf.org/wolf-info/basic-wolf-info/biology-and-behavior] Basics of wolf biology and behavior.</ref> Fanworks using this trope may involve [[werewolf]], [[knotting]], or other animalistic elements, or the characters may be otherwise purely human.
