Beta

A Beta is the name Bella unofficially gives the second in command of a shape-shifter's pack. In Eclipse, Jacob laughs at this, after explaining to Bella about the Alpha. The "Beta" is able to give orders to other pack members, overruled only by the Alpha, if need be. How the chain of command extends to lower ranking members is unknown, but it may be surmised that it is similar to what is found in wolves. When running in formation, the Beta runs on the Alpha's right shoulder.
