Their successor will be the first male born out of the first litter and become Beta. If no males are born in the first litter, the eldest female shall be their heir and become Beta. 

Beta: The Betas are in charge of the hunting party and are trained by the Alphas. Once the Alphas have their first litter the oldest male will become Beta but if the Alphas have no males in the first litter then the oldest female shall be in line for Beta.

Hunters: The hunters are trained and led by the Beta(s). They are responsible for providing the pack with food. During battle, they are known for their complex strategy.

Guards: The guards are responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the territory and are led by the Captain of the Guard, who is usually an older male or female.
