Those “alpha” wolves were just a bunch of strangers thrown together and operating off of fear. They were just trying to build a pecking order to have some interpersonal security.

So any “alpha male” is just a frightened, insecure stranger who is out of their depth in scary circumstances and operating in a reactionary manner.

Except in their case this frightening situation exists purely on the inside of their skulls. Usually there isn't really anything happening.

Mostly it's just the existence of other people that worries them.
