I'm not sure about the captivity thing, but I do know that what were originally asserted to be 'alphas' were the breeding pairs. They were parents leading their children.
There was a very flawed study years ago where a biologist observed wolves in captivity and determined that they fight for dominance within the pack. Later, he realized that in a natural setting, a pack is a breeding pair and their pups, as you stated. A natural pack is much more cohesive and doesn't have a strict hierarchy, but the ridiculous myth of "alpha wolves" won't go away completely, despite the same biologist's efforts.
Because we've caged ourselves and behave like the captured wolves of the study, including the Alpha male shit.
A lie will go round the world twice before the truth has it's shoes tied.
