Both wolves play a prominent role in the pack. The one with the most authority is usually the older one or sometimes simply the more physically stronger or aggressive one. Usually only the alpha female has pups and the alpha male is the father. Although, a different male may be the father if the alpha is simply uninterested. Also, sometimes more than one female will have pups. This sometimes happens if the hierarchy is in question and other wolves will also mate. So the authority can change and is not decisively male or female unlike most species.
