Alpha
They are the leaders of the pack, and the rule it. While they listen to their underlings, especially their beta, they can sometimes be headstrong if their position gets a hold of their ego. This can result in pack members rioting and eventually a new alpha being chosen. With food, alphas get the first pick, then the other ranks get their pickings.
In Dusk Star, the position is fought for.
In Mystic Edge, the position is something you are chosen for or born into.
Alpha's Mate
The mate of the alpha. They have as much power as their mate, and when serious disagreements happen that can easily send the whole pack into disarray. Once the alpha has chosen a mate, this will be their new rank.
Beta
Second in command, they are the alpha's second head. They offer Intel on what they've gathered, giving their opinions and advice to the alpha. They are also in charge of the pack, but to a lesser degree than the alphas.
Like the alpha position, it is fought for in Dusk Star.
In Mystic Edge, the beta are chosen by the alpha.
Beta's Mate
Beta's mate is much like the rank of alpha's mate, the only difference being they are mated to the beta of the pack and have less power than the alphas.
Healer
Healers are wolves who have plenty of knowledge on herbs and medicine. They help with injuries, illness, sore pains, and anything related.
Elder
Once a wolf has reached the age of 7, they are considered an elder. They are stripped of their rank, and allowed to do as they please as long as they're not causing any trouble. They usually help watch over any pups or help the healers search for herbs.
Subordinate
They are the lifeline of the pack, doing chores such as hunting, patrolling, scouting, and helping out the pack in general. Some stick to one or two jobs, the ones they excel at, and some do a little bit of everything. Once a pup grows to be 2 years of age, they are considered a subordinate unless they have shown exceptional skills in healing or if they are overtly submissive, in which they become an omega.
Pup
Any wolf that is 0 to 2 years old is considered a pup. Once they reach an appropriate age (approximately 5 months), they begin learning how to hunt and are occasionally taken out on hunts with the subordinates. At 9 months, they start actively hunting with the adults. At 2 years, they are considered fully grown and may choose to stay with the pack or disperse.
Omega
The omega of the pack is the one pack members tend to be crude to, seeing how weak and submissive they are. They are in charge of looking after the pups with the elders when the rest of the pack is out hunting. They're also in charge of keeping close watch of the area they are in, but not encouraged to fight any intruders. Instead, they should howl for others to come over. They are not to patrol, but instead stay in that area. Omegas are not allowed to have mates. Being the last rank, they generally get the least amount of food and may grow malnourished and unhealthy. If the omega were to ever grow a spine, they would be promoted to subordinate, but even then they'll never be allowed to forget what they once were.
