Yeah it is, but wouldn't say it's a primary focus of this story.

What's it about? I am hella confused

Brett grew up weirdly, learning things about how to have power over others, strangely when getting overpowered by his coaches pheromones he discovers he kinda likes it (freaky gal) so he continues to learn about this power over others shit and finds a big dick alpha that is pretending to be a gentle guy (restraining himself).
They develop a sexual relationship always being rough to eachother but also good to eachother sometimes. Brett keeps hurting Hayden’s emotions because he grew up weirdly. Hayden is too invested in Brett.

Haha, I feel like the summary above is a little confusing.

Main character is the blond guy, who's an alpha. He struggles alot with self confidence and is a sensitive 'feelings' sort of person. He doesn't really like playing in gender stereotypes (i.e., big strong alpha who's a slave to their instincts). Is pretty sincere, but clueless.

Brett is a very wealthy stereotypical 'frat' boy, also an alpha. But he really leans into the concepts of instinct and believes the world is divided into predators and prey. He's super socially clued in - and uses this to his advantage. He's alot more of a pragmatic and manipulative individual.

Ironically though, Brett really likes being dominated during sex. Through a series of Brett manipulated events, they develop a sexual relationship. The story starts to showhow their personalities and worldviews clash...and maybe how the perception of themselves doesn't necessarily match what they want.

The characters are really nuanced, both are flawed - which makes the story really compelling.
