If our natural instinct is similar to that of the animal kingdom, then the Survival of the Fittest rule states that only the strongest will get to perpetuate their genes, i.e. only Alpha males get laid.

Not quite. Humans pursue two mating strategies. Short-term mating (which favors alpha males who can spread their seed among many women) and long-term mating (which actually favors beta males, who will provide resources to their mates to help raise the children.)
Is monogamy "natural"? Why does it matter? Lots of things people do aren't natural. And natural doesn't mean superior either.
