Osborne Author’s Note About the Author What is Omegaverse? If you’re unfamiliar with the omegaverse genre then here is a quick rundown of it’s quirks and tropes. Omegaverse, sometimes called A/B/O or OV, is a sort of alternate reality where humans are divided into 3 dynamics: alphas, betas, and omegas. Alphas are physically bigger and more muscular than betas and omegas. They’re natural born leaders who fiercely protect their loved ones, but they can become aggressive at times and their jealous and possessive urges can sometimes get them into trouble. Each alpha give off a unique pheromones / scent / perfume that attracts omegas as a lure. An alpha claims another person as a packmate by biting a claiming bite into the juncture between the neck and shoulder. The base of an alpha’s penis contains a knot which swells upon orgasm to stopper up an omega and tie the alpha and omega together for a short time for a higher chance of pregnancy. Alphas produce copious amounts of cum, and their cum is often highly nutritious to help feed an omega who doesn’t eat during a heat. Alphas exposed to an omega in heat go into a rut and can become frenzied and combative against other alphas. Alphas purr to soothe distressed omegas, growl as a warning or threat to others, and bark to deliver a command. In heterosexual OV a female alpha often has a lock at the entrance of the vagina (the female version of a knot) that swells and locks onto a penis during her orgasm. In some LGBTQ OV a female alpha’s clit swells into a pseudopenis, usually a smaller one than a male’s, with a knot at the base and she can impregnate others. Betas are the balanced citizens of the omegaverse. Their body size and shape varies from person to person. They don’t experience the heats or ruts that omegas and alphas do and they don’t have knots or locks. Sometimes they have pheromones like alphas and omegas do, but sometimes these are underdeveloped and faint. It varies widely from author to author. These are the average everyday regular humans of the omegaverse. Most OV books focus on alpha/omega pairings but beta packmates exist in many polyam romances too. Omegas are the smaller and often more slender and submissive dynamic. Instead of menstruating, they experience estrous/heats. Heats range from a monthly occurrence to a few times a year depending on the author and the omega. Heats last for days to a week, similar to a period. While in heat, an omega becomes obsessed with finding a compatible alpha, nesting, and breeding. The delirium and increased libido of a heat may drive an omega to accept a strange alpha they normally wouldn’t choose. Omegas produce a unique pheromone / scent / perfume like an alpha does. When in heat, this pheromone acts as a lure and becomes addicting to alphas and can send an alpha into rut. During heat, an omega produces excess lubricant called “slick” which helps ease the chaffing from a week-long sex marathon. An alpha’s growl can trigger an omega to produce an extra gush of slick. Heats often make omegas physically warmer to the touch and sensitive to rough fabric. Omegas who have been bitten between the neck and shoulder by an alpha are considered claimed or mated. Mating is the OV equivalent of marriage and is usually permanent. Omegas are more fertile than betas. In some OV books, omegas are prone to having multiple babies rather than singles and sometimes the infants are called pups. While in heat, omegas usually don’t eat except for an alpha’s nutritive cum. In heterosexual OV, the alpha’s knot lodges behind her pubic bone to tie them together and trap the pool of semen near the cervix to increase the chance of pregnancy. In some LGBTQ OV, a male omega has a self-lubricating anus and accepts an alpha’s knot anally or they may have two holes plus a smaller penis. Mpreg, or male pregnancy, is a topic you’ll sometimes find in gay MM OV. The male omega either gives birth through c-section or delivers anally or through their second hole. How MPreg works is author dependent and varies. Pheromone preferences vary widely from
