Also i thought he might even be getting and recieving power from Kira as well but after rewatching it her eyes don't glow. Which begs the question is the "Pack" really just those three with the other three just kinda of being there. I know we're all considering them "Pack" but i know there use to be a conversation about whether humans and other creatures would actually be considered pack members as far as energy transfer went. I personally believe not after seeing that scene. I think this is the case.

I've been wondering for a while if Malia was officially part of that energy pool, so to speak, but I've always theorized that Lydia, Stiles, and Kira were kinda of just hanging with the pack.

At this point, if I HAD to guess...I'd say Malia and Liam are part of the pack by supernatural terms.

That kind of makes sense, considering that wolves and coyotes are considered the same species. To put this in perspective, this is similar to people of two different races. The dog is also in the same species, but the larger gap in behavior and appearance is the somewhat unnatural result of deliberate breeding. While they are different, their "hybrid" offspring can still reproduce, unlike a mule or liger. Which is why I think that Malia has more Hale in her than many like to acknowledge...

Of course... we really don't know exactly how much research people do when making these shows...so that could all mean squat.
