Lakeisha asked this question about Omega Mine (Alpha and Omega, #1):

I'm a little confused. I thought that being an omega means your the weakest in the pack. So is he the weakest... or am I wrong and omega means leader? It really doesn't matter. I'm sure the book is great and I plan on reading it but I am just confused.
