A wolf pack is formed because two wolves decide to mate with each other, and form a pack. They find territory and claim it, sometimes they pick up stray wolves that do not have a mate, and the two mates will usually have pups. Those two are the "alphas" of the pack.

Added:

Alphas are a term no longer used generally in wolf behavioral studies as said above the wolf pack is, basically, a family. Alpha implies active struggles for dominance which is not really seen in packs of related animals with the wolves high degree of social structure.
