Alpha Monster doesn't award you points for rolling attacks. Technically, you don't roll "attacks," but "claws" to attack with. The text on the Alpha Monster card reads: Gain 1 :star: when you attack. This is only gained once upon the final resolution of your claw dice. For example:Roll 1 - 2 claws, 1 energy, 1 one, 2 threes
Roll 2 - 3 claws, 1 energy, 1 heart, 1 three (kept 2 claws, 1 energy)
Roll 3 - 3 claws, 1 energy, 2 hearts (kept 3 claws, 1 energy, 1 heart)
The final result is resolved, and because you have Alpha Monster, you gain just a single :star: because you attacked.
If you have Alpha Monster, and someone rerolls your dice with the psychic probe and it turns up a claw, you gain a single :star:, even if it adds another claw to claws you already may have rolled...because you will attack.
If you have Alpha Monster, and you reroll someone else's dice with the psychic probe and it turns up a claw, you don't gain a :star: because you are not the one attacking.
