Alphas are typically the leaders in a pack. Their eyeswill glow a bright red.
Supernatural Rules
An alpha possesses an internal spark of power that supplements their abilities, their strength and speed, and bestows upon them their additional supernatural traits.
Alphas are also the ones who can turn humab individuals into new shapeshifters.
Rules of the Pack
An alpha, withthea support of a number of shapeshiftersfellow werewolves of lower rank, has the ability to form the basis of a pack. ThusThereafter the mystical, symbiotic bond between the alpha and thehis followerspackmates is formed. Subsequently, these said followers will become [[betas]] to the alpha as well as others who will later join the pack.
Because of the social nature of the shapeshifter, werewolf or otherwise, this symbiotic relationship increases the power of both the alpha and his new packmates.
Inversely, losing pack members, because of either estrangement or death can decrease the poweralphas's ofpower. the alpha.
An alpha whom lacks a pack is still an alpha and maintains all the usual traits but is still a lone wolf and thus not as powerful.
An alpha can take the power of their own betas by killing them, thus enhancing their own powers. This act of murdering their own for their powers seems to have a corrupting, drug-like effect or influence.
An alpha's claws or fangs can disrupt the [[healing factor]] of another shapeshifter, leaving longer lasting wounds on the victim.
Ascension Rules
A werewolf or coyote, born ortransformed,bitten, is able to rise to alpha rank. This can be accomplished by a number of methods:
Conquest: A dominant werecreature establishes dominance or leadership over a number of subordinates, gaining a pack, bestowing him the alpha spark of power. [[Theo Raeken]] deliberately employed this over the resurrected [[Chimeras]] in [[Season 5]]. Because of the chimeras not actually being supernatural, the ascension did not take.
Inheritance: Upon the alpha's demise another member in the pack may receive the alpha spark and step up to lead. The rules thatdeterminedetermines which pack member is more likely to receive the alpha spark are unknown. After [[Talia Hale]]'s death, her eldest daughter Laura became an alpha, after the [[Hale house+the fire|Hale house fire]] decimated the Hale Pack. Scott suspected this happens to him in [[Season 3]] after Derek's supposed death.
Theft: A beta or omega slays an alpha and takes the power from the deceased. Prior to season 1, [[Peter Hale]] murdered [[Laura Hale]] to take her alpha status. At the end of Season 1, Derek Hale kills Peter and he himself becomes an alpha.
Twin ascension: Wheneverhereditary twin werecreatures gain alpha rank in their merged form, they will both maintaingain alpha status. [[The twins|Ethan and Aiden]] employed this when they killed the alpha of their previous pack whilst merged as [[Voltron Wolf]].
[[True Alpha]]
Series
[[Peter Hale]], a werewolf, was the first alpha werewolf to appear in the series. He was later killed by his nephew [[Derek Hale]], resulting in the latter taking Peter's rank and spark of power. Peter was later resurrected, though he no longer possessed alpha status, coming back to life as an [[omegas|omega]].
Derek later sacrificed his alpha spark to give [[Cora Hale]] the capacity to heal from lethal [[mistletoe]] poisoning.
In [[season 3]], an [[the alpha pack|elite pack of werewolves]] appear whom were all of alpha rank. [[Deucalion]] fulfilled the role of leader even though all five members held thestatusrank and abilities of an alpha werewolf. In [[3x12 - Lunar Ellipse]], [[the twins]] lost their alpha status due to being killed in [[Voltron Wolf|their merged form]] because that part of them was broken.
