What’s a Alpha in the Human World?

In wolf packs, the so-called “alpha” isn’t the loudest or most aggressive. It’s just… Mom and Dad. The breeding pair. The leaders aren’t dominant through force, but through stability, experience, and calm control.

So, what makes a true alpha personality?

Not the one who yells the loudest or wins the most fights.

Examples of real alphas:

They walk away when the noise gets old.
They move with purpose.
They lead by example.
They don’t need to posture, they state their case once, and mean it.
They protect more than they control.

In “We Were Meant to Be Wolves”, several characters reflect this kind of quiet strength:

Jess, with her grit and grief-hardened resolve.
Tucker, who leads through patience and principle.
Professor Miller, whose authority comes from wisdom, not ego.
Jess’s dad, a flawed but steady loving and guiding presence.
Even Floyd, crude, cranky Floyd has his alpha moments when it counts.

Being an alpha isn’t about domination. It’s about responsibility. But not every alpha in the story walks on two legs.

One has fur, fangs, and a mission to finish.

Set in the remote Adirondacks, where wolves have returned after a century-long absence, We Weren’t Meant to Be Wolves is a chilling and darkly humorous story rooted in real-world conservation, identity, and the blurry lines between what we love and what we fear.
