Wolves
A carnivore related to the jackal and domestic dog, two species of wolves are recognized. One is C. lupus, the gray or timber wolf, which was once widely distributed in North America, Europe, and Asia. The other is Canis lupus rufus, the red wolf, which now only occurs in northeastern North Carolina and on St. Vincent's Island off the Gulf Coast of Florida.

The Grey Wolf (also called the Timber Wolf) lives in North America. It is commonly found in areas such as national/provincial parks including Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, Algonquin National Park in Ontario, and Yellowstone National Park in the USA. It is primarily a forest-dwelling creature, though it isn't all that uncommon to see wolves in the prairies.
Western Europe and Mexico: The Gray Wolf has largely disappeared from these areas.
United States: After being listed as federally endangered, the populations here grew. However, in areas where this protection has been removed (such as Idaho), they face an uncertain future. There are about 5,000 wolves in the lower 48 states.
Alaska: An estimated 7,000 occupy this area.
Canada: There as many as 50,000 here.
Other areas: Other wolf populations are in Poland, Scandinavia, Russia, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
The gray wolf lives in a number of habitats like the dry shrub lands, mountains and dense forests.
One of North America's most iconic native predators, the gray wolf used to be found throughout the United Sates---from the forests of New England to the coastlines of the Pacific Northwest. Centuries of trapping, hunting, and poisoning, however, decimated the wolf population, and by the 1980s, there were only a few small pockets of survivors left in the continental United States.
Efforts to reintroduce the gray wolf to the Northern Rockies in 1995 ultimately succeeded and by 2005, the population had finally climbed above 1,000 animals. Despite this encouraging recovery, there have been and continue to be attempts to strip them of their protections and allow even more wolf hunting.

What does the alpha do in a pack of wolfs?
They don't have a "job" really. They are just the ones that the other wolves submit to. Usually though the alpha male and female are in a monogamous relationship and are the only ones in the pack who reproduce.
Wolves eat usually about 2-3 times a day. They usually go hunting right when they wake up but only after long rests. When there is a small pack of wolves they go hunting whenever they get hungry but don't catch as much with less wolves. Small packs of wolves eat about 4-5 times a day if they don't catch much.

Of course, you probaly know that both alphas are the rulers
below them are the betas, who sometimes rule the pack when the alphas are not there, or even lead small hunting groups if the pack splits. They are also the peacemakers of the pack
under the betas are the middle pack. They pretty much simply hang around without really a rank.
under them is the omega. They are the lowest ranking wolf. They get teased and picked on, snapped at with almost every move they make by the rest of the pack. Normally they tend to leave the pack and become lone wolves.
Normally it is weak, sick, and/or older wolves that hold this rank.
What are the natural predators and enemies of wolves?
Wolves don't have any natural predators, except for humans. Enemies, though, range from those animals that they hunt for food (like elk, bison, deer and moose) to animals that are in competition for their food (coyotes, grizzly bears, black bears, cougars/mountain lions, wolverines and foxes). Other wolves and wolf packs that compete for new territory, as well as diseases such as Canine Distemper and Parvovirus are additional enemies to wolves.
Wolves don't really have predators. They have enemies, like a human would certainly be something, or a bear. A bear could kill them in a fight for the same kill. But other than that, wolves don't have predators.
