the family societal structure, as opposed to a strict alpha male hierarchy.

Those are the same thing twice. In wild wolf packs, the alphas are the parents. The betas are the kids, and the omegas are the grannies. The "alpha male" dynamic you're thinking of only happens in captivity when you take a bunch of adults who don't know each other and tell them to be a family. It's unnatural.
