I have a few suggestions for you if you're looking for SF/F books where the main male character's aren't alpha males, I have a couple of suggestions:
The Cornelius Quartet by Michael Moorcock: The protagonist Jerry Cornelius is no alpha male and is as content to be led as to be the leader. The alphas in this quartet tend to be women rather than men. It's hard to explain the quartet, so I'm just going to leave a link to this review here: The Hipster on the Seas of Fate.
Nevermore by Kelly Creagh: YA paranormal romance where the hero's an artistic goth and the heroine's a cheerleader and it does a really good job of exploring that kind of relationship dynamic. Plus, the paranormal elements are based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe and are actually scary. Some of the writing can be a bit awkward, but it's nowhere near as bad as Twilight and its many imitators. I highly recommend it.
