However, there is something that does work similarly to the Alpha Wolf with wild packs.
It tends to come out in areas where there are multiple packs that form a "super pack" during certain times of year such as animal migration periods where there's an abundance of larger game where they get more success as a larger group and then spread out into their own territories during the rest of the year when it's more smaller game options. While one tends to become the leader, it tends to be much more unstable between which of the groups actually has leadership with repeated challenges.
