"Before electing or appointing a beta, you must take into consideration the pros and cons. Electing a beta would give you who the pack wants, but appointing would give you what you want and are comfortable with," Alpha Denzel began to explain.
Most packs would elect a beta by allowing the strongest warriors to battle themselves, and the winner is declared the beta. Alpha Denzel saw the shortcoming of such an arrangement since a strong warrior did not equate to a knowledgeable one.
He continued his explanation. "If the beta is elected by the pack, then there is the probability of him going against you if the pack members so require, but if by your appointment, he would be loyal to you."
