Reply to comment by 1GreenDude in [WP] The werewolf snarls at the sniveling wretch below him, "You think you're a tough guy? You think you're the top dog in the pack? You're not an Alpha. There IS no Alpha, that's a stupid thing humans came up with. Now, knock it off. Next time I have to get involved, I'm done being nice." by quazerflame

Alphas are just straight up not a thing.
The packs are usually family, but thats about it.

Alphas are a thing among wolves in captivity and among chimps and bonobos.

Chimps are more hierarchical than bonobos though. Bonobos have more sex with each other and are more capable at things like empathy and altruism

The alpha is the leader and the leader is usually the parent. It's kind of like how we have presidents wolves have alphas it's just another name for the leader of the pack.
