I disagree with people seeing this in a negative way.
Alpha + Omega is basically what's heteronormative in that world.
Homosexual love is what goes against what "society" expects.
So, an Omega rejecting her destiny to mate an Alpha (basically, a man), because she loves a Beta is a message from Takemiya: if you want to go against society, you'll have to fight.
Whether she will succeed or not isn't important. What's important is fighting.
Takemiya leaves the rest to your imagination. If you want to imagine NTR, I'm sad for you.
Though I do get your point and it's definitely a valid way to interprete the story, I have to say that the situation here isn't exactly the same as with heteronormativity. Because lesbians (unless I am very much mistaken) do not feel sexual attraction towards men. So in order to be in a homosexual relationship they only have to fight the societal pressure (definitely not saying that this is something easy to do, mind you).
But here our protagonist would not have to fight against societal stigma, but against her own extremely strong sexual desire. So even though it is quite likely that what you said is what the author intended to portray, I don't think it's exactly the same. The protagonist here has to fight against a part of her own nature, not something that is forced upon her externally.
I still think her choice is valid, humans have been fighting against their animal instincts for centuries anyway. I just don't think it's the same, even if Takemiya wanted to portray it as such.
PS. In case this came across weird I'd like to restate clearly that I'm not in any way trying to dismiss make light of (yes! that's the expression I'd been looking for when I was writing this!) the struggle that homosexual people face. I'm just saying that this is something external, while the story is actually dealing with an internal desire.
