That's because the internet version of the alpha male is quite specific and has evolved to include connotations of creepiness, being a Nice Guy, PUAs, etc. I figured OP is using "alpha male" in the more romance genre sense, which is not the same.

Hee, I thought OP meant the internet version. *g*

Nice Guys(tm) are not alphas(tm). Nice Guys(tm) are the people who become bitter misogynists because women they like have relationships with alphas(tm). PUA(tm) includes former Nice Guys(tm) who think they need to become alphas(tm).

I hate to break it to you, but Owen isn't an alpha male in the romance genre sense, either. Alpha males as a character set are driven, domineering, and emotionally constipated. If the setting and plot allow for violence, they are generally very violent.

A laid-back guy whose leadership style revolves around bonds of trust and not "I'm the strongest, you listen to me now" is not an alpha male just because he has muscles and rides a motorcycle.
