In the winter packs kind of disband. They go off to have mates and stuff, and the alpha's normally find a birthing den to raise their pups.
We can probably fix that to where they leave to find better hunting grounds, establish a new territory. Once settled, all the mate-less wolves leave for a month or so to find a mate to bring back (or just simply have a one-night-stand with XP). During that time the alphas will have their pups, and the pack will help raise them, and get them home safely during the spring.

So all wolves eventually find mates bring them back to have pups? Please elaborate if I understood this wrong, I want to learn as much about wolves as possible!
It helps to use Wikipedia and textbooks, that's what I do. But what really got me into wolves was the free game, Wolfquest. It teaches you about wolves in an awesome game, you should check it out: http://www.wolfquest.org/
But, to answer your question, in a normal wolf pack, it consists of:
alpha male + alpha female
Last years pups
Pups from two years ago
And sometimes a few older pups.
Normally the two year olds' leave the pack during the winter to find mates and have pups. They can choose to either create their own pack, or bring them back to the original one. Then the alpha's have their own new pups to replace the ones that left.
Now, in this role play, I'm assuming everyone is going to fight tooth and nail to have pups. Like I said, we have a lot of loopholes for that, the easiest one being loners randomly mating with "single" pack females. To be frank, it's basically rape. Only the female is much more willing, and the loner is normally beat up pretty good before leaving, but, hey, at least he still has his genes going on.

Hehe... That made me laugh. And I'm in class.
Glad I made someone laugh. ^_^
I was watching a Yellowstone wolf documentary recently on Animal Planet. It showed a lone wolf mating with the female, and he was stuck humping her for around fifteen minutes, with all the pack wolves attacking him during their "romp". I couldn't stop laughing, it was ridiculous-looking.

They get pretty graphic on AP. XD

So the single wolves go off and find a mate. Then they either make their own pack, or come back to the pack and don't have pups?
Okay. I don't know where to ask questions so I'll just post here.
So I wanted to make a lone wolf? And there isent a topic for that. So do I just not make one? Is this only a pack wolf group?

There hasn't been a lone wolf RP yet, I'm not sure if Dapple plans on making one. Your best bet would be to just make a pack wolf for now, sorreh. :/

Well your the boss you choose ^_^
Wolves have a dominance structure- more dominant wolves eat first and have dominance over the other wolves. They live together in packs led by the alpha pair. Each pack has it's own territory that it hunts in and fights to protect. In this role play, each pack has a name in the form (Name)Pack.
Each pack is led by the dominant pair of Alphas- a male and his mate. Another wolf may challenge the alphas for their position. If he wins he becomes Alpha; if he looses he is humiliated. Alpha females pick the den sites. Alphas may evict anyone from the pack.
Only the alphas may have pups; another pregnant wolf may be outcast. The other female wolves help the vixen (mother) care for her pups. The breeding restriction ensures that the best, most dominant characteristics are passed down and prevents overpopulation.
Non-alpha pack members may not have pups, but they may mate with each other.
When the pups become older, they gradually start learning from the other wolves how to hunt and fight. As they get better at hunting and fighting and grow stronger, they climb up the dominance ladder.
An older wolf is still respected and taken care of by the pack (not sure if this happens in the wild, but it will in this role play).
Names
We do not have changing suffixes in the names as they do in warriors. A wolf is born with a name reflecting some aspect of nature (i.e. Burning Fire or Falling Rain)
