it's not how wolves work at all, moreover the theory of gangster alphas was severely debunked by very scientist who made it.

alphas have apes (highly aggressive enforcement), lions(mid aggressive), any big cats(mid to low), hyenas (matriarchate with killing pups), stray dogs (being way too addicted to dopamine, plus any dog also can just kill their own infants to eat... yes. fuck it.), even some bugs have alphas.
plus, bears will just be alone to feel alpha-ing, yet as any alpha in pack mammals, bears will kill for ownership itself to prove they must be controlling. bears will, yes, simply kill anyone.

alpha dominance is a result of dopamine attachment.

but wolves are normal family + offspring + uncles\aunties\brothers\sisters + they can argue with each other yet always will try to say sorry with muzzle licking and desperation for relationship restoration. also it is confirmed that wolves are not addicted to dopamine, resembling ADHD intellectuals who (also confirmed in wolves) stuck to their reasoning and thinking. There exist possession of food yet wolves would not kill each other over it; any injury 50-50 chance means death from sepsis.
wolves will circle around not to intimidate (like hyenas) but to understand what this object is while already feel fear of unknown. for this wolves must have strong thinking layer to reframe all of their hormones (that are very saturated, due to this reason the first gen of wolfdogs - who due to evolution have first thing to simplify is the brain as it requires a ton of energy- will be aggressive in pure hormone drive) to thinking and logic.
wolves are strongly afraid of everything novel or vibrant and will likely run away whereas dopamine overrides this fear in humans and apes. likely, wolves possess serotonine-energic thinking that is continuity of thoughts (not in words, brain usually operates in "picture"-like concept patterns, evocation of speech-like thinking require focus on words and for focus we need dopamine again) with high disrupancy affect (due to dopamine having gating effect on sensory and making attention be focused on reward of gate-enforced signal).

likely, wolves from different places put in captivity will experience whole place like an orphanage. they will argue back and punish with pinning down all others. this exact behavior have human children in orphanages notoriously known for fighting and injuries between children.

in siracusal lore [PV, preparation of animal-shaped balloons] there were founders of siracusa - cats, dogs, hyenas, foxes, and wolves. wolves who served owners in their perra-cusa.
Real wolves are highly intolerant to dogs and jackals (their mimics renders as horror film with outright wrong or puppy-like "friend" signal, "mating" rised tail, abrupt vocalizations, abominable scent, and aggressive behavior right after. yes, this is akin to human horror films), to big cats (who sees wolves as prey, having frog-like dopamine "moves? catch!"), mildly tolerant to foxes (as long as foxes won't switch from bugs to deers), intolerant to hyenas (who are highly teritorial yet will like to enforce it for sake of it).
