Alpha

Alpha, also known as Dog or Wolf is a half-wolf shepherd mix with dark gray and white fur

A hidden enemy

 * Alpha first appears in the battle which is in the beginning of the book. Alfie sees Lucky, and wants to impress him, so he lunges for Alpha. To defend this attack, he barely makes any movement, but one paw swipe, and sends little Alfie down injured. Apparently, this powerful swipe resulted in Alfie's death.
 * Lucky later asks to join the Wild Pack, to spy for the Leashed Dogs. Alpha doesn't think he should be in the pack since he's a City Dog. When nearing the Wild Pack's leader, Lucky remembers during the battle Alfie died in. When he is in front of Alpha, Sweet then leaps on a rock next to him, and he seems to not push her off. He just stands taller which makes Lucky think that Sweet is Alpha's mate. He starts to feel envy.
 * Alpha doesn't think they need another dog since his pack is full of strength, even though Lucky saved Sweet during the Big Growl. Sweet tells him that Moon would be nursing her pups for another full journey of the Moon-Dog, and that they're a good fighter short, so Lucky could take Moon's place, meaning Spring could return to her role as a hunter.
 * Alpha thinks she is correct, as his Beta speaks sense as usual. He allows Lucky to stay for long, for him to prove himself that he is truly part of his pack. Lucky thanks Alpha for letting him join, and Alpha also tells him he's at the bottom of the pack, but above Omega.
 * While the dogs are gathered, Alpha orders to keep watch for the Leashed Dogs. He doesn't want them to try another attack. He says if they're in the territory, chase them away, and if they wouldn't allow themselves to be chased, then kill them. He asks Lucky if he saw anyone, and he says yes. Alpha orders his pack to search for them. While Lucky is leaving with the Patrol Dogs, he glances over his shoulder to see Alpha's eyes on him. He begins to wonder what would happen if Alpha ever figured out Lucky's role as a spy for the Leashed Pack.
 * He appears again, when the hunters return. Sniffing the prey, he selects a plump bird, along with the best of the rabbits, and settling himself down to pluck and tear at the prey with his teeth.
 * When Lucky is seen giving Omega some prey, Sweet bites Lucky's ear, threatening to rip it off. In response, showing no gratitude whatsoever, Omega is hostile to Lucky. Alpha laughs at Omega's reply, and his unsettling eyes turn on Lucky, and he says that Lucky is not fully accepted in the Pack and that if he was going to stay that it would be wise if he remembered to do their customs from then on. Lucky is then going to sleep, and gazes at the softest hollow of all: a sheltered glade that is revealed to be Alpha's sleeping place. He was curled up with Sweet, his tail tucked close to her muzzle. Lucky feels jealous at seeing them sleeping to each other so close.
 * Dart, Twitch, and Lucky are on patrol, and they find a huge loudcage and longpaws. Right when the three are about to be attacked, Alpha's howl saves them. His howls frighten the longpaws, giving the Patrol Dogs an advantage to run off. When the three return, he demands to know what happened. Dart tells him that there were longpaws, and huge loudcages, the biggest she had ever seen in her life. Lucky tells him about the loudcages that he had seen them in the Big Growl, and Twitch informs Alpha that the longpaws had shiny yellow fur, with black faces without eyes or mouths and that they had big sticks they tried to capture them with.
 * Dart also tells Alpha that the longpaws were afraid of him, which he replies they were right to flee. He adds to never get close to longpaws, and it was careless to put themselves at risk of capture, and orders them to not to it again. He tells them about how longpaws did the same to his former wolf pack. Lucky tells Alpha that he is grateful for him, and that his howl gave them a chance to escape. Alpha replies that it was nothing, and all he did was open his jaws, which was why he was alpha of the Pack.
 * Not long after, Lucky is making a challenge to Snap, and he glances at Alpha. The only thing he sees in Alpha's eyes is cynical amusement. The petty challenges the dogs made meant nothing to him, only entertainment. After the challenge that Lucky wins, and he says it was impressive, and that Lucky takes Snap's rank as a hunter. He says that Snap is demoted, but he says Mulch is actually demoted, Snap keeping her rank as a hunter, taking Mulch's rank. Mulch says that it's unfair, and Alpha growls to him. He orders Sweet to explain to Mulch why he shouldn't question his decisions. Alpha tells Mulch that he isn't the best hunter, and that if he is so keen of climbing the ranks, he should try harder, instead of whining about other dogs.
 * Lucky is caught by Omega when he sees Lucky talking to Sunshine and Daisy, knowing that Lucky's a spy. He says that he won't tell Alpha, only if he gets Omega to another rank.
 * So that his role isn't jeopardized, Lucky frames Mulch, dropping his fur on the prey, and taking a few mouthfuls. When Lucky finishes the job, Alpha declares that it was time for the Pack's meal. He checks the prey, noticing what has happened. With a deadly growl, he orders "Who. Has. Done. This?". He demands again, though there is no answer. Alpha looks directly at Lucky, which he wonders if wolves could read the minds at dogs. Alpha takes a pace forward, not toward Lucky, though. His ice-cold eyes are on Mulch. He gives a great swipe with his paw, sending a clod of earth flying into Mulch's muzzle.
 * Mulch is bewildered, confused what his Alpha was doing. He doesn't answer but stalks menacingly close to him. He snarls and orders silence from Mulch and says did he think he had a right to eat before Moon's pup, and before him. Before Mulch could say he didn't and never, Alpha leaps for Mulch. He bowls him over, clawing his face and neck, fangs sinking into his ears. Mulch gives a long howl of terror. Mulch was on his back, and one of Alpha's hind legs raked cruel claws into Mulch's belly. Sweet joins in, sinking her fangs into the base of Mulch's tail, and snapping her jaws at his vulnerable ears, while Alpha seizes the folds of flesh at Mulch's neck and shakes him like a rat. Lucky tries to stop them, but Sweet curls back her muzzle, revealing bloodstained fangs, but Lucky realizes her softness in her eyes.
 * Alpha finally clouts Mulch one last time on the head, and steps back, snarling softly. Alpha tells him that he is now Omega, and that he can't challenge until a full turn of the Moon-Dog. Alpha tells Whine that he is a patrol dog. At night, Lucky sees Alpha gazing up at the Moon-Dog and he vanishes between the trees. Sweet appears and walks toward Lucky, and he says he can't sleep and asks where had Alpha gone. She replies that he always leaves when the Moon-Dog reveals her full face and he wants to be alone with her for a time, and that it was a habit he brought from his Wolf Pack days. Alpha even told Sweet that they even sang to the Moon-Dog together, and that it was even more special than the Great Howl.
 * The two go for a walk alone. Lucky asks her was it necessary for what Alpha and Sweet did to Mulch, and she replies that it was, and she admits that she didn't like it, but it was her duty. She adds on how she was Alpha's partner and she has to stand by him, and to support him in all things, especially where Pack discipline is concerned. Sweets add that if they didn't work together, the pack would fall apart. Lucky asks her what she met about partner, which she replies partner, not mate. Sweet tells Lucky that she and Alpha were a team: they work together, run the Pack, keep discipline, and keep it strong. She adds that they might become mates one day, as that was what usually happened, but she also says that there was no hurry.
 * Later on, Bella, the Leashed Dogs, and some foxes are attacking Alpha's lair, and he is enraged about this. Bella tells him that he can't drive them away from his valley, and orders her friends to attack.
 * When foxes are attacking Lucky, and he begs for help from Alpha, Sweet, and Bella. During this battle, the foxes leave, and Bella realizes they had lied to her. The foxes killed Fuzz and Mulch. Alpha orders both packs to him, he calls Bella a leashed fool, and orders her forward. He says if she wants to speak before she dies, say it now. He said he was going to kill her himself, but the Leashed Dogs say she's a good leader, a good dog.
 * Before he kills Bella, Moon interrupts, asking for permission if she may have the right to speak. Alpha allows her to speak, and she says all dogs make mistakes. Fiery agrees with his mate, and Alpha orders his Beta to advise him. Sweet advises her Alpha, and they decide to let the Leashed Pack join their Pack, but he would need to be their Alpha. He says that Bella would be Omega, and explains what it means to the Leashed Dogs.
 * Once the new pack is at peace, Whine tells Alpha about Lucky being a spy for the Leashed Dogs. Lucky admits to the Pack—mainly to Sweet—that he was a spy for the Leashed Pack. Angrily, Alpha stalks over to him. With a perturbed thought, Lucky wonders if it was time for death.

Darkness falls

 * During Lucky's trial, Alpha draws himself up his rock, towering over the two Packs. Sweet raises her muzzle, saying Lucky was loyal because he fought against the foxes, and he was one of their Pack now. Alpha growls low in his throat and says Lucky may have served their Pack for a time, but it didn't disguise his treachery.
 * Bella saves her litter-brother, saying he had nothing to do with the Leashed Dogs' invasion. She vows to him that the Leashed Dogs would do as he commanded and listen to his orders. Alpha allows Lucky to stay but decides that Lucky should be punished by attacking. With the help of Sweet, Bruno, and Snap, Alpha was about to give Lucky a scar on his flank, according to the Law of Dogs. He stops when they hear loud noises and see dark clouds in the sky. Alpha is terrified and does nothing to help his pack as Lucky leads them away to safety.
 * As the pack leave their old camp, Bella and Lucky see to the horrified Alpha, who informs the siblings that it was an evil Sky Dog.
 * When they are away from the clouds Alpha stops an argument between Bella and Sweet before it gets out of hand. While all the dogs are around, he decides to make an announcement. He banishes Lucky from the pack, blaming him because he anticipated that Lucky was the reason of the evil Sky-Dog.
 * Later, Lucky returns to the pack with Mickey and three Fierce Dog pups, Lick, Grunt, and Wiggle.  It is here revealed that when Alpha was a pup, he was attacked by a Fierce Dog. Jutting out his left foreleg, he proclaims his deep scar that the dogs gave him. He adds that wolves had different names for Fierce Dogs; Longpaw Fangs.
 * He demands to Lucky on how he found the pups. Lucky responds that their Mother-Dog was dead. Alpha gazes toward a cluster of pine trees, saying the Fierce Dogs could be anywhere, roaming the wild. Before he can casts the pups out, Martha steps forward, sticking up for the pups. Other dogs start to join in, agreeing with her. Alpha realizes that he is outnumbered. He spats at Martha, allowing her to keep the pups. Turning his gaze on Lucky, he adds how they will be his responsibility.
 * Lucky questions if that meant if he could stay in the pack, which Alpha barks that he would be tolerated for the time being.
 * When Mickey yelps the loudbirds' arrival, Alpha is seen by Sweet. The two dogs are on their paws, barking. During Lucky's explanation to the dogs why the longpaws must be in the loudbird, Alpha and Sweet approach the Omega. Their gazes are fixed on the great bird above them. As the loudbird begins to sink over the valley, they continue their growling and barking.
 * Bruno begins to go after the landing loudbird, and Alpha's eyes darken. Before he is given a chance to speak, Bella is able to speak first. She speaks reasonably to the older dog, making him stop in his tracks before he is able to reach the loudbird. In agreement to the patrol dog, Alpha growls.
 * Lucky later returns back to camp with Bruno. Sweet informs the Omega on how Alpha wished to speak with him. Not waiting for an answer, she leaves him, awaiting for him to meet up with Alpha. As Lucky enters the cave, he sees Sweet in the warmest and farthest corner from the entrance - which is also known as Alpha's corner. Lucky approaches the leader, who rises to his paws and releases a gaping yawn. Lucky notices how some dogs are in the cave, and wonders what was it that his Alpha needed.
 * Alpha starts speaking about the incident that happen earlier with Grunt attacking Squirm, one of Moon's pups. He adds on how if it was smart to keep potential enemies in their own pack. In support of their Alpha, Sweet and Moon bark in agreement. Fiery questions what will Grunt do as a full-grown Fierce Dog. Dart adds that the black cloud was an omen. Moon barks in agreement. To silence the dogs' suggestion, Alpha raises his muzzle. He begins to speak on how the pups will soon cause damage, and it would not be long before they grow more powerful, and their fangs grew longer.
 * Martha speaks up, sharing on how she thought it was unfair, since the pups were truly sorry about the small quarrel between the two pups. Bella barks in support for her friend. Alpha stretches his long forelegs, and replies that they had to figure out the true meaning of their natures. Most of the Pack growls their agreement, including some of the Leashed Dogs.
 * Lucky says all dogs have the ability to be aggressive, even when they think their lives are in danger. He questions the dogs in the pack if they've gone to great lengths to ensure their own survival. Alpha snarls, "Survival is one thing. Outright savagery is another. Perhaps all dogs have an inner fighter, even feeble ones." After this declaration, he casts Whine a disdainful look, who in response cowers and averts his gaze.
 * Alpha adds on how Fierce Dogs were different, since he thinks they enjoy destroying enemies. Licking the scar on his forepaw, he raises his eyes, and fixes a hard stare on Lucky. He adds that he had to make sure if the pups were truly loyal and obedient to the Wild Pack since they had a right to know the truth about them while they were still small enough to be dealt with.
 * Martha inquires on what his meaning was when he said 'dealt with'. Alpha's hackles rise and his eyes bare into hers until she looks away. As he speaks again, Lucky notices the note of finality in his voice. He informs his pack that the pups will be tested, and then he would decide on what would we done. The meeting comes to an end as Alpha sinks down onto his bed of moss and leaves and turns his face away.
 * Lucky makes his way toward Sweet, asking the Beta if she supported his decision. She doesn't turn to look at him. Sweet replies that it was Alpha who made the decisions; that was why he was the leader of the Pack. Lucky begins to think on how Alpha actually became Alpha, wondering if it had to be the fiercest dog in the pack whom had to be the highest role.
 * As the Sun-Dog begins to set, the Pack prepares for the meal. Sweet is seen following him.
 * Later that night, Sweet fetches Daisy and Lucky. When she brings them to Alpha, Lucky questions if it was about the pups. Alpha steps from the shadows, confirming that it was. Lucky wonders aloud if he is going to test the pups at that moment, but Alpha responds no. He informs the Omega on how he went exploring with Beta and Fiery. Beyond the cave and the forest, he had seen a ridge of white rock. He admits to Lucky about how he was curious of what is further away. Looking down at Daisy, Alpha tells her that she would take the Fierce Dog pups.
 * Daisy wonders what he meant. Alpha replies that she would take them through the forest, since they needed to know if the pups were loyal. When Lucky objects, Alpha snaps back at him, saying it was necessary. He certifies that Daisy would take them to the ridge to search of any new camps. Lucky continues with his objection, though Alpha snarls dismissively that he wasn't the only dog who could survive alone.
 * While Daisy takes the pups to the ridge, Lucky and Alpha witness from a distance to remain unseen. As Daisy gives the first order, Alpha gives Lucky a hard stare.
 * When Lucky recognizes a dead creature, Alpha points out that it was a mouse. Lucky informs on how it was killed by a dog. Alpha replies indifferently that he knew, adding that it was Twitch. Lucky is surprised to hear the dog's name.
