I would say yes, killing Ennis did make Deuc stronger.

Let's look at it this way: When an Alpha has a pack, that alone makes him/her stronger. If that Alpha kills any of the betas within that pack, that too makes him/her stronger. It's almost like they're making up for the loss of a member by adding that member's power to their own.

With that being said, if you're the Alpha among an Alpha pack, I believe that the same concept applies as if they were betas & you killed one. If you're an Alpha & you kill a member of your pack, whether that member is an Alpha or not, you still gain their power in additon to your own.

Also Paul, you said that there needs to be a connection. Them being in the same pack is connection enough. It's a wolf thing. It's a pack. They're a "family", though they don't seem like it since they're all evil & what not.
