Alphas were at the top of the social pyramid. This was a fact.
Powerful and old families wanted to pass on their names, pass
on their heritages and pass on their traditions. To do this, they
needed Alpha sons and daughters, the most fertile children, who
could guarantee grandchildren. And Alphas who were not born
within these families would naturally be attracted to their wealth and
reputation and strive to better themselves so they might become part
of them through marriage or relations.
