He’s totally stunned. “A Pack is a group of werewolves. We basically are like a family that protects and cares for each other. And we have a hierarchy, ranked members based on your blood and strength. So Alpha CJ is our current leader because he is the strongest and has Alpha blood. His father, Alpha Alonzo, was the previous Alpha. And then there are the Betas like me who are second in command. There are many of us Betas throughout the territory because we own so much land. Many smaller Packs wanted to join us. So that we could provide them with better protection from Rogues. And other species trying to wipe them out! There are also Gammas or third in command and Deltas or forth in command.

“Base Rank. The most common. These wolves have ordinary energy. They make up most of the packs — workers, scouts, healers, and laborers. Strong in their own right, but not made for battle.” He moved to the next. “Core Rank. These are trained fighters, guards, or soldiers. Their wolves are faster, sharper, more responsive to command. Core wolves form the backbone of most armies.” Then his hand moved down the board. “Elite Rank. Rare and powerful. Elites are born leaders, often gifted in either strength, speed, or heightened senses. Most members of the royal council, generals, and the academy’s instructors are Elites.” He paused, looking at the final word — Sovereign.

“Yes, it most certainly is. There are twenty-four ranks for wolves: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi and Omega. “In every pack, we have one of each: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. These signify our ranked wolves, and they are shown the respect of leadership by being addressed by their rank first, before their given names. We lead the pack, in all things. Each pack usually assigns specific responsibilities to each of the ranked wolves, according to what that pack’s needs are. They differ between packs. I won’t burden you on what those consist of, in my pack. Well, not right now anyway. “

How can my wolf be special when it is so small? I glance at my alarm clock next to my bed shaking my head. It is almost midnight and still, I cannot fall asleep. My parents were so proud of me today but all I want to do is crawl into a deep dark hole and disappear. Today was my graduation where we receive our ranks. I guess it is different now than when my parents were in school. I guess back then the ranking ceremony meant more than it does now. Your rank was what decided who you could mate and marry with. Now though it just gives you a starting point. Like what jobs you can hold within the pack. Me, I ranked as a Delta. Which is only one rank above an Omega, how depressing.

He was an Omega in one of the packs that would be joining us later in the week, the Red Opal pack, and – guessing from his mate’s scars – she was a warrior wolf. When a wolf mates, they ascend to whatever the highest ranking status is out of the two of them. This was fortunate for me, as it meant that I couldn’t drop lower than a Beta. Some thought that this was outrageous, as on multiple occasions wolves had moved from being Omegas to Alphas or Lunas.

I had been talking to my wolf, and the last thing I needed was for anyone to overhear and start asking questions I couldn't answer. The thought weighed heavily on me as I paced the small room. Within the pack's confines, ranks dictated everything: your role, your future, even the way others treated you. Alphas were born leaders; Betas were their steadfast second in command, and Gammas were the protectors. Beyond that, the hierarchy included warriors, trackers, healers, and of course, Omegas.

Milly explained. “They are bigger than you are,” Wyatt said. “Of course they are. They are both Alpha wolves. I’m an Epsilon. As they are the pack’s leaders and protectors, they are bigger and stronger than me. If we are to live with a pack, there will be times when you will have to socialise with others in wolf form, and they will all be different sizes,” she told him. “And before you ask, you will never pet a wolf that isn’t me.”

What were they up to now? "Are you sure?" I demanded. And then added, "Can you identify their rank?" "Yeah," he replied shortly, his voice constricted with tension. "Their Alpha, the Beta and the Delta." Northern Stone's three highest ranking wolves? Did that mean that the hunters were from his pack?.
