you are wrongBut i dont feel like watching my back every time Marcus and his creepy Dad spoil my fun of taking my family out.. or even when i am out coming back home and watching these guys all over my place like the own my house..
because being Alpha means having power, control and influence over those around you
imagine if first the family is rejecting them hard maybe for example the sister making fun of Marcus and his attempts as she laugh with the MC about it in front of him
watching as they desperately try winning over the family but the MC already has enough power over them that he watch as they fail maybe even humiliated in the process
then maybe down the line in further future the MC has enough Influence ( from Aunt or from taking over the dad job or so because obviously so far power play in town is evident ) so MC become powerful that they even fear challenging him
what if Marcus mom is gold digger and start choosing MC would not you watch as the weak you cry over his losses or better weak you offers sex with his wife to you in exchange for sex with the mom but the MC ends up taking both
many possibilities possible but the true meaning of alpha is being on top ,, being scared of Marcus and weak you is not alpha it is them being there present yet tamed and under control
at least that is how i see it and hope that would be the case
