Re: Alpha Wolves
The Alpha Wolf has exactly one location in the entire game, directly outside of Embershard Mine; the precise coordinates given in the Creation Kit are 2, -14 (proof). You can travel there yourself ( in the console), and it isn't there. I don't believe it's programmed to spawn anywhere other than that. Its Editor ID is "e3DemoAlphaWolf"; as the name suggests, it was only fully used for the game's E3 demo.

The UESP has a discussion on this from a few years back; they've noted that unless you enable E3demoMarker, the wolf can't actually appear naturally in the first place. Have you been fiddling with the Creation Kit/console at all? If not, I think it's likely that you mistook a regular wolf for an Alpha Wolf. The lighting where you were could have made their fur appear redder than it actually is.

Though I do want to ask something: which edition of the game are you playing? The original, Legendary Edition, or the Special Edition? While unlikely, it's possible that Bethesda tweaked this particular creature with the release of the SE. And are you absolutely sure that you don't have any mods installed? —Atvelonis (talk) 01:40, March 16, 2017 (UTC)
