*love the werewolves too* though I actually don't like werewolf movies (though I fell hard as a kid for Quentin Collins in DARK SHADOWS, OMG!)
I agree about the problems with abusive alpha male trope, and how screwed up the original research was on wolves ("let's study captive animals and assume it's natural behavior DOH").
I do love Patricia Briggs' series though there is the alpha thing going on, but her main protagonist is a coyote shifter who is seriously resistant to submitting to any alpha shit. (She has a smaller newer spin off series with an Omega, but I don't think it's the same thing as the ABO in fandom though I don't really know enough about the ABO in fandom to say anything about it). So I'd love to hear more about what you're thinking about it!
