In real life wolves have four social classes. They are Alphas, Betas, Gammas, and Omegas.
Wolves
People are still led to believe that wolves have social systems resembling that of humans, this is a general symptom. They are also firm believers in all that inner-self kind.
Alpha
They widely believed to be alpha, and there are only one pair, a male and a female, who are the first to get to eat and breed. This is another way to tell who can breed.
Beta
Betas are not really shown, but if you are a beta, you'd have some personality, and also would love to hunt.
Gamma
These are generally not shown.
Omega
These are the 'lovable' types. They love to have fun and hang out with buddies. They are not much of hunters.
