If I were hypothetically writing a werewolf story, what topics do I need to avoid to write a fresh and unique story?

Love triangles, I feel like a lot of Werewolf stories have these in and theyāre kind of boring and offer no new perspective or any original ideas. Idk, thatās just my opinion

I feel like in the majority of stories theyāre used simply to entertain readers, not to portray a message or help the MC. I hate love triangles. I hate having to spend time with characters Iām not interested in and Iām always waiting for my MC to spend time with the other love interest. Unfortunately I always seem to like the guys that you donāt spend as much time with so I donāt end up finishing the story.

Same When love triangles are just an extra to a story not in the romance genre but ends up becoming the whole plot line 
I usually like the good guy (in badboy stories/ in this case probably not the rebel werewolf etc) and the MC usually never ends up with him anyway.

I kinda hate it when the boy says āmineā and the MC is like āoh my gosh I was waiting for you my whole life come give me a kissā or āOh no I donāt want him, he canāt be my mate, I canāt have a mateā when in reality it would be like āhmmm back off I am not an object for you to claimā or MC slaps guy so hard he forgets his one name

These are all my personal opinions, butā¦
To me, most werewolf stories on this app are all the same. It starts with some girl in a bad situation (probably being abused by some alpha), and then she escapes. Then sheās found by some other alpha of another pack and they fall in love, blah blah.
Another common kind is the ārougeā wolf girl whoās suddenly infringing on another packās territory, or something. She meets the hot, alpha male and loses all dignity and self-respect for this guy who thinks of her as an object.
Personally, things I would avoid in a story of my own:
āInner wolves.ā
Abusive āalphaā males.
A weak, helpless MC.
Mates that are d e s t i n e d to be together because ofā¦ werewolf biology or something?
And probably more, but Iām not quite sure at the moment.
Something that also would be super cool to see is a werewolf pack based on actual wolf pack dynamics. The pack structure we know today (with alphas) is completely wrong - it was based off of wolves in captivity, and not actual wild wolves.
I understand that would probably make werewolf stories a little more difficult, but, still, it would be neat to see.
