The first I heard the use of this phrase was in reference to a pack of wolves and their leader. In the wild, male wolves fight to be the top dog and have the rights to the best females. Somehow, it also became applied to people.

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.

I also think that the alpha she-wolf is the she-wolf who can bear pups, or the mate of the alpha (leader).
