As I said, stated but never explained.

Basing anything on how you think characters "should" be acting is a recipe for weak arguments and headcanon. Yes, not explained. It could be interpreted as people are born Alphas -- or it could be interpreted as, within a pack, someone might be born and groomed to take over as Alpha. They kings are born? You're not actually born a king, but when the king croaks, you take over as king because you were raised from birth to do that. Nothing about that phrasing makes anything I've said untrue -- although I suppose that statement is open for interpretation.

I just thought it was pretty logical that there wouldn't be little infant Alpha werewolves.
