Neither Kate nor Sebastien were referred to as mutations. Jackson was. Derek said that the kanima wasn't right. Stiles called it an abomination, and Derek agreed. Nothing to this effect has been said for Kate. Taking a different shape doesn't necessary mean unacceptable mutation. It could just mean you turned into a creature that best represents who you are. I didn't say it was a sign of status. I know that it is the basic defoult color for betas and omegas who have not taken a innocent life. There is no diffrance between a beta and a omega besides one has a pack and the other doesn't. So that is why I didn't say betas and omegas. Sorry if it was misleading.

Just because they were not refered to as mutations does not mean they are not. Sebastion had the same abilities and weaknesses as the common wolf only to a severely enhanded degree, added with the way he transformed and his immense size and the fact he could assume a monster form, something we only saw alphas do puts him outside the lines of a normal werewolf. So I would consider him a mutation of sorts.

As for Kate, it was brought up in season 4 on why she didn't become a werewolf and the response was something along the lines of your form reflects what you are on the inside. But don't quote me on that because it has been a long time since I saw that episode.
