Social dynamics within a pack The prevailing view has long been that wolf packs are socially structured under a strict dominance hierarchy, controlled by an “alpha” male and female pair, with other pack members aligned in a pecking order.
Wolves do not have an innate sense of rank; they are not born leaders or born followers. The “alphas” are simply what we would call in any other social group “parents.” The offspring follow the parents as naturally as they would in any other species.
But it turns out that this is a myth, and in recent years wildlife biologists have largely dropped the term “alpha.” In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare.
One of the outdated pieces of information is the concept of the alpha wolf. “Alpha” implies competing with others and becoming top dog by winning a contest or battle. However, most wolves who lead packs achieved their position simply by mating and producing pups, which then became their pack.
In most wolf packs, there will be an alpha male and female and frequently an omega male and female. In wolf hierarchy, the males tend to dominate other males and the females dominate other females so that there is generally a low ranking member of each sex.
Wolf packs don't actually have alpha males and alpha females, the idea is based on a misunderstanding. You may have heard that a wolf pack is led by an alpha pair. Given this designation, it's easy to imagine that a pack consists of young adults and older animals in a strict ranking system.
alpha female (plural alpha females) (zoology, ethology) The dominant female in a social or group hierarchy. (by extension) A self-assured, independent, self-driven, influential, or strong woman; an alphette.
The Zeta Werewolves, as described in Kate Argent's Hunting Diary, are "Intelligent Beta Werewolves" that are an Alpha's "left hand" and specialize in both Strategy and Pack Coordination.
The theory goes that gray wolf packs consist of a variety of unrelated individual wolves all competing for dominance, with the leaders being the “alpha” male and female, while lesser wolves are relegated to “beta” positions, with the bottom of the bottom being the “omega” wolves.
Ultima. This rank is higher than either the Alpha or Luna ranks. They are the strongest wolf in the pack and very dangerous. When angered, their eyes turn red and they can sometimes go insane with anger or even kill instantly if they so desire.
A pack of wolves usually comprises a dominant (alpha) pair; an individual or a couple following in importance, and most likely to replace the current alphas (referred to as the beta pair); next in line, are individuals in the middle ranks, these are followed by one or more wolves of the lowest (omega) rank.
Zeta (1-3) - The war general of the pack. They take direct orders from the Alpha in case of a war. The Alpha may be the one to declare war, but the Zeta leads the army and plan the plans for war. They also train new recruits for position as a Eta and Eta or more to take his or her place in future.
In intact packs, social carnivores like wolves suppress reproduction among others in the pack, essentially preventing them from breeding. But when the alpha pair is killed, there is no suppression, and as a result more and younger wolves tend to breed.
Edit. Gamma wolves are the wolves under the betas, they act like leaders during fights and are strong and fast when in battle.
The correct feminine form of wolf is she-wolf.
Ultima. This rank is higher than either the Alpha or Luna ranks. They are the strongest wolf in the pack and very dangerous.
Although not as powerful as an Alpha, Beta werewolves are noticeably stronger than Omega Werewolves. Beta werewolves are normal humans who are turned by an alpha or born to a werewolf. Betas follow their alpha's orders and are the main members of the pack. Betas are the most common werewolf type.
Alphas rank at the top of the socio-sexual hierarchy followed closely by beta. Whereas omegas rank at the bottom of the hierarchy. The key difference between alpha, beta, omega is that while alpha males are the leaders and don't lack confidence, beta males are the quiet, loyal followers.
The Pure, also known as purebreds or wolves, are any werewolves that transform into wolves. These werewolves are purebreds and originate from bloodlines that can be traced back to those who crossed the veil from Purgatory. They are seen as the strongest and the rarest of werewolves.
The Primordials are the most powerful werewolves in existence and no werewolf can match their power, they possess some abilities that normal werewolves don't. Their abilities are at their peak during a full moon. Heightened Senses - Primordials have extremely enhanced, keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste.
The Sigma Werewolf Was Created By Lycaon By Intentionally Changing His Genetics To Have His New Children Be A New, Stronger, Breed Of Werewolf. Known Individuals: Paul Chiles(Previously Inactive)
delta female (plural delta females) A relatively low-status woman in the sociosexual hierarchy, (ranking below alpha, beta, and gamma females, but above omega females). A female animal that ranks fourth in the social hierarchy.
There's a common myth that two alpha personalities can't be in a successful relationship, but the reality is that it's entirely possible. While it's true that having two strong-willed individuals in a relationship can create some unique challenges, it's important to remember that no relationship is without its hurdles.
“An alpha male will talk dirty to you in bed. He will be a little rough during sex, fitting his maleness deeply into you, getting you so excited that you dig your finger nails into his back and scream his name while he pounds you hard—making you cum so hard as you ride the wave of ecstasy.
