There are approximately 13 different ranks in the higher rankings. I will explain to you exactly how much there are of each rank and their responsibility in the pack and any possible information that might be important. Now everyone has a different perspective of the information and some would say otherwise or use their own ideas, but this is what I had gathered and that I have noticed has been, more or less, mostly used.
(Keep in mind, the total members of each rank all depend on the total members of the whole pack)
I will give the ranks in order and explain them, as told before. But I will be doing the Alpha and Luna separately for a specific reason.
