Alpha: The alpha is the leader of the pack, they try their best to keep up with the going ons within the pack. They see each of the pack members as family and make important decisions that reflect the growth and welfare of the pack. The alpha creates the rules for the pack and makes sure they are properly enforced. Alphas decide on ranking, courting, assessments, and banishments of werewolves. Another important responsibility of the alpha is to maintain the pack's hunting territory. The alpha calls group hunts and decides when and where to hunt, along with the betas and hunters. The alpha provides an emotional center for the family and focus for friendly feeling in the pack. One of the most important social functions of the alpha is to help maintain an even temper and bond of the family. During pack meetings, most issues will be discussed with the pack as a whole. The final decision will be made by the alpha after all opinions are heard by the pack members. The alphas have the final say so in everything, yet act only for the good of the pack.

Beta: The beta werewolf is the second ranking individual within the dominance hierarchy. They show commitment and loyalty to the pack, also acting as a discipliner to reinforce the alpha's decisions. The betas stand in as alpha when the alphas are not present. They answer to no one but their alphas, but are expected, as with all members, to show respect to every werewolf. They also assist the alphas with any conflicts within the pack and enforce the rules, keeping peace within the clearing. They have the right to banish others after fair warning of wrong actions such as fighting. Betas may also call hunts, deciding when and where to hunt, along with the hunters. In pack meetings, the betas' answers and suggestions are the second most important, being trusted advisers to the alpha, only thinking for the good of the pack as a whole. There may only be a male and female beta.

Delta: The delta werewolf is a werewolf in training for beta position. They are third in rank to alpha and beta. Deltas do not hold the authority to call medium or large hunts. That is a privilege to only ranked alphas, betas, and hunters. Deltas usually become the next Beta after training is complete but one can remain Delta without moving to Beta position. When this is the case, if ever the current beta is removed from their rank, steps down, changes rank, or leaves the pack, the delta may take the place as the new beta at the alpha's request. There may only be a male and female delta.

Sentinel: Sentinels are to ensure that the pack is safe by patrolling the territory and watching the movements of the surroundings. They are to make sure that no intruders enter the clearing. In doing so, it is a sentinel's responsibility to greet new visitors and learn why they are here and where they come from. Being in that position, it is the sentinel's job to make sure each new visitor that comes into the clearing has good intentions as well. When the sentinel is not present within the clearing or if there is none, the greeting responsibilities go to all adult pack members. Sentinels also make sure that the pack members keep themselves out of trouble, and that no fights break out between visiting werewolves (or other pack members), warning them of the rules. After the warning, the sentinel may penalize continually aggressive or provoking werewolves out pack. If this does happen they are to report to their alpha and/or beta and tell them what happened.

Assassin: The position is given to a Charger. Assassin is the most fitting name for the rank because it is self-explanatory. They are also spies for the pack. There can be a total of three assassins in each pack.
There are more but will be put later on
