Bestiary - Alphas - Wattpad (2024)

 
Alphas are the top rank in the canine shapeshifter hierarchy and they are the most powerful. They are typically the leaders in a pack. An Alphas eyes will glow red when they shapeshift.
 
An Alpha can form a supernatural pack with other shapeshifters of a lower rank (Beta/Omega. Next chapters). This then creates a supernatural bond between said Alpha and those lesser shifters who will them become Betas to said Alpha. Alphas are also able to create new shapeshifters.
 
Alphas possess an internal spark of power granting them their supernatural talents such as 'The Bite'. This spark also supplements their ability to shapeshift, this makes it easier for an Alpha shapeshifter to transform into more powerful shapes, as well as their individual strength, speed and power.
 
Supernatural Rules
An Alpha can create the mystical, symbiotic bond between them and the lesser ranked canine shapeshifters that form/join their pack, thus enabling the lower ranks to become betas.
An Alphas claws or fangs can disrupt the healing factor of another shapeshifter leaving longer lasting wounds.
 
Ascension Rules
 
• Conquest: A dominant shifter decisively or firmly establishes leadership amongst a number of other pack mates, gaining a fellowship of subordinates, granting them the Alpha spark of power.
 
• Inheritance: A defined line of succession comes into play, granting a most likeliest shifter an Alpha spark. Upon the previous Alphas demise, the most capable, most experienced werewolf steps up to lead the pack.

• Theft: A beta or Omega kills their present Alpha, thus stealing the Alphas power. After the Alpha is killed the Beta/Omega will gain the Alpha status.
 
Another way is to be a True Alpha. 
 
True Alpha
 
A True Alpha is a shapeshifter who rises to the Alpha rank solely on the strength and purity of their character and sheer force of will. True Alphas are extremely rare, only appearing every 100 years.
 
Supernatural Rules 
(True Alpha)
 
One cannot rise to this status if they have taken a life.
A True Alphas status and power cannot be taken, stolen were they to be killed like a regular Alpha except for a Beta of their own making.

Peter Hale - Teen Wolf Wiki
 
Alpha shapeshifters are able to create new werewolves, or other new shifters, out of human beings by using their fangs or claws. 'The Bite' is the more effective method of accomplishing this. A scratch not so easy. For one the claws must go deep, I.e. Clawing out someone's throat, but there's still no guarantee.
 
Once the process starts the human victim will normally transform into a new Beta werewolf.
However, the transformative process could transform the recipient into som other shapeshifter.
"Sometimes the shape you take, reflects the person you are"
 
The bite requires no act of will from the Alpha. If someone where to make an Alpha bite them and the Alpha being unwilling you would still count as being bitten.
If the Bite isn't successful in making the recipient change it will eventually kill them.
 
If a Banshee is bitten by an Alpha the banshee will not be effected, they will neither transform or die because they are immune. A bite or scratch can be used to activate the said banshee's innate abilities.
 
The Bite
 
The bite, refers to a bite from an Alpha shapeshifter. This action is commonly used to turn a human into a new canine werecreature, wolf or coyote.
 
Roar
 
The Roar is an Alphas main supernatural weapon. By roaring, an Alpha asserts their dominance, supernatural rank and influence over their fellow pack mates or demonstrate their great power over other shapeshifters.
 
Using the roar, an Alpha shapeshifter can energise and stimulate their betas so they can accomplish high level tasks, heightening their fortitude and powers in dangerous situations and fight back against enemies. The Roar is also used to control potentially aggressive wolves, by restraining or weakening them.
Alphas can also force Betas or Omegas to shift. 
 
Vision
 
Alphas have some additional vision capabilities over Betas.
Alphas can supposedly see infrared when using their wolf vision.
 
Homicide Absorbtion
 
If an Alpha kills a member of their own pack, the power of the deceased will be added to the Alphas power.
 
In some cases Alphas have murdered each member of their pack, consuming all their power and making them incredibly powerful.
