uhm, do werewolves have a king, or a savior, or something else which can be called a superior? :?

who's the boss?  <^>

Aniyu:
In a way. Some have an "alpha" so to speak. Though this person they respect and listen to usually without question. A dominace battle of the subconscience. We know, but we don't know how we know.

You are the boss.  Even members of Therian Temple can do whatever they want (they just get thrown out if they do something really bad, like breaking the law).  If you're in a group that tries to tell you that you should listen to someone, rather than question them, then it's a cult and it's almost certainly dangerous.  Weres, in reality, have no "leader" as a group.  We DO, however, have leaders in a community sense: people who are well known and active.  An example is my were-pal Wolf VanZandt, who is extremely well known inside and even outside the community (he's more open about it in his community than I am), and takes a leadership role in the community (and has a group of "followers", mainly the super-Christian groups).  Now, even there, he's not an "unquestionable leader", in fact, most people who have never talked to him think he's "crazy" or " a Christian extremist".  He's only a popular and influential guy, not a "king".
Now, in the way of fictional werewolves (I feel like bringing them up lately), that's a matter of who's writing the story.  "Underworld" says they have a loose pack structure, "Van-Helsing" says they're controlled by vampires, "I was a teenaged werewolf" (closest of all those to reality) portrays it as an "every were for themself" type situation.

You're half right there: Alphas exist in packs, covens, and on forums.  Basically, people do follow them, alot of the time without question, but that's not really their "purpose", so to speak.  They aren't meant to be unquestioned, only a leadership, directing their pack about on issues.

What?

Aniyu:
A dominace battle. When you meet someone you know almost immediatly if they are more domminate than you. Sometimes you don't know how you know that, because your subconscience knows.

Sherlawk is right though. Most of the time its every were for themselves, though there is a loose amount of "pack-ness".  some weres, if they realize it or not, make the people around them their pack though this isn't always the case.

Some people just have a commanding presence others don't

sarimau:
do the replies means that it is in you whoever you believe to be the superior?

hmm..maybe equality?

hmm..so, what is the better? to h ave a group or not?

and one more thing? if there is a variation in being the superior, how about having a "slave" thing..sort of under your superiority? what can you tell?
