Well there has been hints in the show that Laura hale was able to become a alpha by assuming the role since her mother and the rest of her family is dead and peter is in a coma and all she has is derek.

But derek did mention that alphas can fall back down beta status and even omega status most likely in a way it can mean a beta or a omega can take alpha without kill the alpha if he sumits to them.
