I'm not completely sure.
Some people say that they don't have to.
I think they do, however. Would it make sense if the two alphas weren't mates? Plus, in horse herds, the lead mare and the lead stallion are mates. So wouldn't it be the same for wolves?
I hope I answered it

∙ 13y agoyes, they must have a mate because the alpha male and the alpha female are the only ones who are allowed to have pups. Without a alpha female(the alpha males mate)then there would be no more puppies. Without puppies, then the pack would die away

The alpha female in a wolf pack is usually the mother of the pups. In almost all cases, the alpha male is the father of the pups, but in some instances the wolf who ranks just under the alpha wolf in the pack's hierarchy (the Beta wolf) will take over the alpha's role as father if the alpha wolf shows no interest in mating with the alpha female or any other pack member. Just before the breeding season, the male wolves (particularly the alpha male) in the pack will sniff, harass and pursue the alpha female. If needed, the alpha wolves may use physical force to prevent the other pack members from mating.

What does alpha dog mean?
It means the leader of a wolf pack. Usually the alpha (leader) of a wolf pack is a male so they just call it an alpha male. Sometimes though, rarely, a she-wolf is known to be the alpha. An alpha male can also mean the male wolf who can produce pups, but that is usually the leader (the alpha male). I also think that the alpha she-wolf is the she-wolf who can bear pups, or the mate of the alpha (leader).
Do all wolves mate?
Yes. In the breeding season, when a female is in heat, a lot of male wolves will fight to mate with her. The male wolves fight, and when one of them does get to mate with the female, he guards her, so other wolves know she is taken. However, sometimes, another stronger, older wolf may fight the male wolf, mate with the female again, and stay with her for life.
Could the female wolf with the alpha wolf be called Luna?
Yes, but for females it is harder to become alphas than males because they either have to mate with the alpha male or fight which means that she has to be even stronger than normal because male wolves are generally stronger than females. Though females are faster. -The K10 Yes, there is such thing as an Alpha female. She becomes an alpha when 2 male wolves fight for her love. The winner gets to mate with the female, and they become the alpha pair. (Or Alpha's) Just a version of my answer :) - Wolfsarethebest

How does a wolf become dominant?
Usually, this never happens. The Alpha wolf never mates with an omega because omegas are considered as the lowly wolves; they never get along. Unless you're talking about the movie, of course :) True, an alpha wolf will never mate with an omega wolf. However, there are cases where omega wolves rose to the rank of alpha wolves or left their pack and form their own, making them new alpha wolves. So yeah, an omega wolf will eventually mate an alpha wolf IF it's determine to be an alpha wolf Actually, a male alpha wolf will mate with all females of the pack. This ensures that only the strongest male of a pack has offspring.
