We’re looking for stories featuring the passionate alpha/omega dynamic between gay men. The stories may involve shifters (werewolves, cats, bears, etc.), or the characters may remain in human form, but they must express the hierarchical elements of an alpha/omega relationship. Betas and gammas may also appear, but the focus must be on the alpha/omega bond. MPreg is acceptable.
