@SonictheHedgehog1245,

If you accept the chapter books Journal of the Two Pony Sisters and Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell as canon, then Celestia and Luna are members of a distinct tribe of alicorns whilst Cadence, like Twilight, was ascended when she proved her worthiness to Magic Itself.

However, we haven't seen any natural-born alicorns other other than Celestia and Luna that have been acknowledged as such on screen. Because of this, it is possible that the alicorns are either extinct or have moved to a distant land.
