Wrong again. The “alpha” was only noticed in captivity. Where unrelated adults were confined together. Studies of wild wolves reveal that related wolves stay together and the so called alpha pair is really just the parents being parents.

Wolves live and hunt in groups called a pack. A pack can range from two wolves to as many as 20 wolves depending on such factors as habitat and food supply. Most packs have one breeding pair of wolves, called the alpha pair, who lead the hunt.
