I read a lot of romance. I have read very good and very bad romance. This sounds like the kind of book I would have thrown across the room because it was so distressing. There was one urban-fantasy series I read - Southern Arcana, by Moira Rogers - that had a really, really good kinky alpha/omega role thing going on with bonus stuff about breeding not-between-the-leads, and it was handled really well in general, and was not this.
Which I guess is my way of saying, tropes can be done very well, but it distresses me so much that the garbage like this is what "rises to the top."

Holy shit.
