WEREWOLF

A werewolf or lycanthrope is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction.

-Wikipedia

Werewolf usually lives in packs. The pack will be organized by some wolves that are stronger or have more superior abilities than the others. There will be Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Hunter, Sentinel, Elder, Scout, Guardian, Omega, and Pup. But, in this story, not all of the wolf rank will be mentioned.

Alpha: Alphas are the leader of the pack. They usually have more superior abilities than the other wolves. They control the pack and they make rules for the pack members. One Alpha needs to know the other packs' Alpha to make several agreements with the other packs to avoid war or events that are not good for their pack. Their Mates are called the Female Alpha or the Luna. (modern stories of werewolves call the female alpha Luna)

Beta: Betas are the second in command. They help the Alphas to make decisions. Betas are usually the ones who will keep their members in safety along with the Sentinels. If more werewolves want to join the pack, Betas are the ones who will ask them questions and they will ask for the Alpha's decision. Their mates are called the Female Beta.

There won't be any Gamma in this story.

Delta: Deltas are the soon-to-be Betas. They will be Betas after their Training is completed but sometimes, they will stay be Deltas as the third in command in the packs. Their job is helping the Betas to call hunts along with the hunters and watch over the members’ training. Their mates called the Female Delta.

Hunter: Hunters are the one who hunts for food. In real life organization, Hunters may be the one who plans over the meals in some events. Hunters will only hunt in Alpha's command along with Beta's and Delta's. Hunters are the ones who are skilled at tracking (search for scents).

Sentinel: Sentinels are more like guards and knights. They are skilled at fighting so if there are any troubles with other packs, they will be the one who fights in the first row. They sometimes came along with hunters to hunt food. Their main job is securing the pack's territory so no one is trespassing. In this story, hunters and sentinels don't hunt for food since it's a modern kind of werewolf story so they can just go to the supermarket or something to get food.

There won't be Elders and Scouts in this story. Elders are more like the past Alphas and Betas who make a new organization and help the new Alpha to make decisions. Scouts are the one who makes peace with other packs or more like a walking phone (or like a communication media)

Since modern life has a real phone, we can just call other packs for information and we don't need scouts as our communication media.

Guardian: They are the pack's doctors. They help ill pack members without any spell or magic. Just like the modern doctor does.

Omega: Omegas are just the pack's members. They don't have superior abilities (except for what werewolf already has. They're still not human.) Usually, they're the females and the new generation who are still in training.

The last one is the Pups. Pups are newborn wolves or wolves who are still not trained yet. They still freely playing in the Packs house. Sometimes, the 6 or 7 years old pups will have the pack's rules lesson before they get their training as Omegas when their wolf is finally strong enough to appear and shift by the age of 8-10 years old.

There are 2 kinds of Werewolf that don't have packs I mentioned in this story, it's Lone Wolf and Rogue.

Lone Wolf: Lone wolves don't have a pack as a family. They live alone. Sometimes, it's because they are kicked by the Alpha from the pack or they ran away from the pack without the Alpha's agreement.

Rogue: Just like Lone Wolf, Rogue Wolves live without a pack but usually they make groups of rogues. Rogues sometimes are called the wolves who can't be ruled and sometimes they are the wolves who are crazy enough to be in the pack. They hurt the other pack members or didn't follow the Alpha's orders and rules that made them got kicked from the pack.
