Alpha: Leaders of the Group. Typically, but not Always, the Alpha Male and Female are mated to each other. An Alpha can be challenged for their position, or if they pass away. Another way is if a "Born Alpha" joins the pack the Acting Alpha can choose to step down with out a fight. The Alpha's have ultimate say in the pack to defy them is treason.
Beta: The Betas are the second in command and enforces the law when the Alpha is not present. They are also next in line to take over if something happens to the Alphas. Beta can only be challenged with Alpha approval. Other then that Betas change only by the Birth of the Alpha's oldest children
Sentinels: There are 4 sentinels to a group, (always 2 mated pairs) Each pair is chosen by the Alphas and Betas, unless one of the members of the pairs are born into the position. They are trained to take the place of them if anything should happen to the Alpha's and Beta's. They cannot be challenged what so ever. The Sentinels are only changed upon the birth and coming of age of the second born male and Female child of the Alphas. Sentinels are the Primary Guards of the Alphas
Subordinates: These are the non-ranking members of the group. Their duties include hunting, patrols, watching over any pups/cubs, and protecting the human mates of the pack.
Omega: Lowest rank of the group usually a position given when a pack member is disgraced or if its an untrusted new member. The Omega position tends to change often.
Pup/Cub/Young: The babies of the group.
