Alpha male works the same in humans as it does it pack animals. If I young male lion mates with all the mature female lions in the pack, he is considered the Alpha and is respected by the other males. If a senior male lion mates with younger female lions than he is shunned by the pack and by the other males.
Lion packs are called prides. Each pride has between one and six nomadic male lions, who fight for dominance to hold the prides. Any young male competitors would be driven away or killed by the dominant males. The dominant males mate with all of the breeding-age females in the pride.
In fact, there's no social animal that I know of that works the way you're describing.
