if you set the wireless device as the bridged network connection in the VBoxManager, it gets VIRTUALIZED as ethernet. Hence, it will NOT appear in the virtual machine as a wireless device. If you want the wireless functionality you must use another device on your host machine, such as your ethernet or another wireless device as your bridged connection and set the alpha as a USB device, not a network device. You can then bring it up in your parrot just like any usb wireless device. You must also have the extension pack installed and have added yourself to the vboxusers group
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers yourusername
