Werewolf Rankings in my books

The Ranks

The Ranks

The King and Queen

They are the Alpha of Alpha, their job is to maintain order among all werewolf, they can order an execution if a werewolf has broken the law. Or life imprisonment. They can have their own pack if wanted, though they usually always do. The king title can only be passed down if the King has an heir born.

Alpha

The Alpha is the leader of the pack, they try their best to keep up with what is going on within the pack. They see each of the pack members as family and make important decisions that reflect the growth and welfare of the pack. The Alpha creates the rules for the pack and makes sure they are properly enforced. Alpha decides on ranking, courting, assessments, and banishments of wolves and punishments. Another important responsibility of the Alpha is to maintain the pack's hunting territory. The Alpha calls group hunts and decides when and where to hunt, along with the Betas and Hunters. The Alpha provides an emotional center for the family and focuses on a friendly feeling in the pack. One of the most important social functions of the Alpha is to help maintain an even temper and bond of the family. During pack meetings, most issues will be discussed with the pack as a whole. The final decision will be made by the Alpha after all opinions are heard by the pack members. The Alphas have the final say so in everything, yet act only for the good of the pack.

Luna

The Luna is the Alpha mate, she is the mother of the pack, her job is to make sure the pack is taken care, she treats her pack as equals no matter what rank they are in. She is usually at her mate side, though sometimes she is found among the Omega and pups. She helps the pack member with their transition when they come of age to shift for the first time and helps them have control over their wolf. She is the only one that can reprimand the alpha and that can get away with it... at times.

Beta

The Beta wolf is the second-ranking individual within the dominance hierarchy. They show commitment and loyalty to the pack, also acting as a discipline to reinforce the Alpha's decisions. The Betas stand in as Alpha when the Alphas are not present. They answer to no one but their Alphas but are expected, as with all members, to show respect to every wolf. They also assist the Alphas with any conflicts within the pack and enforce the rules, keeping peace within the pack. They have the right to kick and ban a wolf from the pack, after a fair warning of wrong actions, such as fighting. They hold order with the Alpha. Betas may also call hunts, deciding when and where to hunt, along with the Hunters. In pack meetings, the Betas' answers and suggestions are the second most important, being trusted advisers to the Alpha, only thinking for the good of the pack as a whole. There may only be a male and female Beta.

Delta

The Delta wolf is a wolf in training for the Beta position. They are third in rank to Alpha and Beta. Delta's do not hold the authority to call medium or large Hunts. That is a privilege to only ranked Alphas, Betas, and high ranked Hunters. Deltas usually become the next Beta after training is complete but one can remain Delta without moving to Beta position. When this is the case, if ever the current Beta is removed from their rank, steps down, changes rank, or leaves the pack, the Delta may take the place as the new Beta at the Alpha's request. There may only be a male and female Delta.

Subordinate Ranks;

Warriors

Warriors are the protector of the pack, they make sure the pack is safe from rogues or intruders, they are very strong and agile, though they could never outrank their alpha as they are very loyal. Warriors are known to carry out their alpha order, sometimes they are the one to take out the punishment or execution. They are close to being a sentinel but their ranking is higher than the Delta. Warriors are able to have Alpha, Beta and very rarely have omega's
