So in this story the men are put into special positions. Beta, Gamma and Omega.
So in a pack there is one male Beta that oversees the interests of males in the pack. There's the gammas which make up the majority of the males in the pack, and then there's the omega which usually only consists of only 1 or 2 men.
For females it works the same way most of you know. There's and Alpha and Beta the rest of the women are just regular people.
An alpha female controls the whole pack including the males if need be, overall she has the final decision in everything. While the male beta can only control the males.
Regular she wolves still have a higher standing than a male beta would because woman are just considered better.
...Well I hope some of that made sense to any of you guys. But on with the story.
In this world males and females do stay together in packs but the woman have higher privileges than the males.
