What is bitching?

  • When an alpha gets turned into an omega (typically by another alpha)

How does it work?

  • It depends! Just like the omegaverse itself, the rules are flexible depending on the author and the universe.

  • Sometimes it's through mating bites, sometimes it's through consuming another alpha's cum (not joking), sometimes it just takes a knot.

  • Oftentimes bitching is explored as a dark concept, but it can also be affirming and tender.

  • Go crazy! Create your own rules and logic!
