1. A werewolf challenges the Pack Alpha and succeeds in killing him/her. The title will automatically pass to him/her and they will also inherit the power of the previous Pack Alpha.

3. The Pack Alpha dies in a manner not directly caused by another werewolf (accident, old-age, or illness) in which case their power passes to the most powerful werewolf after them. Again, that person will inherit the previous alpha's power as well.
