My younger brother keeps saying he is an Alpha male and bad mouths who he thinks are Beta. Can some one please explain to me what the hell is going on? (self.explainlikeimfive)

Ask him if being an alpha male is a furry thing

Also if he likes werewolf romance novels

In this case, this should be the only acceptable explanation.

Skip a step and just buy him some furry romance novel like "alpha of my heart" or whatever (I will not be googling for options, no shame but I don't need that in my history)

Give it to him and tell him you support him and he's really brave to be himself in front of you and others.
