Alpha Theory Page

Welcome to the *Alpha* Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the *Alpha* series.

## Current & Unconfirmed Theories

* **Themes of the Story:** Given the emojis teased in the July 2023 Insiders, some players believe that the Book will revolve around high school like *Immortal Desires*, and that demons or ogres might make an appearance. While the first part of this theory is debunked with the mention of a fraternity, the second part is still up in the air.
* **Big Bad:** There are some theories for who the Big Bad could be.
	+ **Rival Pack Alpha:** There could be a rival Werewolf pack and the Alpha wants to destroy Alpha Tau Sigma.
	+ **Rebellious Pack Member:** There could be someone who gets more and more fed up with Channing's leadership and tries to forcibly take over the Pack.
	+ **Werewolf Hunter(s):** There could be one or more werewolf hunters who want to kill every werewolf they come across.
* **Markus:** Players suspect that Markus will be a villain, and that he's either a werewolf hunter (or has a werewolf hunter parent or parents), a werewolf from another pack, or another supernatural entity entirely. This is supported by the fact that he wants to know about Channing and his/her fraternity. This is further supported by his antagonistic behavior the past couple of chapters and writing an article accusing the frat of being a cult with “bloodthirsty tendencies”. In Chapter 9, he refers to Alpha Tau Sigma as "Animals", with your character wondering if he was just using a figure of speech or if he knows they're werewolves.

## Confirmed Theories

* **October release:** Players believe that this book will be released in October just in time for Halloween. This is strengthened by the May 2023 newsletter when it shows this book being released in Autumn 2023 and when it shows another book for September 2023, and confirmed through the June 2023 Insiders.
* **Werewolf Story:** Given the title of this book, players suspect that this will be a story revolving around werewolves like *Wolf Bride*. This is strengthened when two of the emojis in the July 2023 Insiders are a wolf and a moon. On July 16, 2023, PB confirmed on TikTok that this is yet another werewolf story.
* **Mature-Themed Story:** There is a theory that this will be a mature-themed story, with possibly sexual and/or violent aspects. This is confirmed when the book cover is revealed.
* **Word "Alpha":** Posibilities on what "alpha" might refer to:
	+ **Pack Leader:** Players theorize that either the main character or one of the love interests will be the Alpha of the Pack. This seems more likely given the werewolf premise, and the second part of this theory is strengthened with the mention of a charismatic alpha. This is eventually confirmed with the revelation that Channing is the alpha of the pack.
* **Single-LI:** Given the recent surge in single-love interest Books, it is believed this one will be too. This is strengthened with the mention of Channing, who could be our alpha and only love interest, and eventually confirmed.
* **Traitor:** Given that werewolf hunters attacked the lodge and Randy was seen talking to the Flagstaff pack members in Chapter 12, it is theorized that the mentioned traitor is Randy, and that he is the one that betrayed his pack to the hunters and to the rival pack. This is confirmed in Chapter 14.

## Debunked Theories

* **Female Lead:** Given the recent surge in female-lead stories, it is believed this one will be too. This is strengthened when PB announced 3 out of 5 upcoming gender of choice books on Tik Tok and this book was not included. This was debunked in the April, 2023 newsletter when they revealed the story is gender of choice.
* **Working Title:** Some players seem to suspect that "Alpha" might be a working title, similar to *Wake the Dead's* working title, "Zombies". This is debunked when the book cover is revealed, showing *Alpha* as the official title.
* **Dom/Sub relationship:** The main character might have a dom/sub relationship with one or more love interest like in *Surrender*. This is debunked as no such thing is shown to be featured in this specific story.
