Maybe they can actually inherit the spark but would only be passed down to the oldest child when the alpha dies (speculation) I thought it was known that Laura became the alpha since Talia was killed, and she was next in line to inherit the spark since Peter was toasted. That's what everyone assumes, but it's never been confirmed in the show, so we don't really know And since Laura has barely been mentioned since S1, we receive no clarification.

"sighs"

You know, this would be the first thing I did as a werewolf. I wouldn't even care if the full moon was tomorrow, I would write myself out a list of all these OBVIOUS questions, and demand answers from the closest brooding werewolf/snarky sociopath/morally ambiguous guidance counsellor/veteranarian in sight. But no. Scott refuses to think. Because he is the eternal recipient of the idiot ball. He has one implanted in his head rather than a brain. Poor Scott. Hey now, Scott's not the only one with the idiot ball on this one. Liam hasn't asked yet, though given his first experiences and having PTSD I will give him a little leeway I suppose. Allison never did any asking, though most of her time was spent sucking face or being trained by psycho gramps, she might deserve a pass too. Lydia hasn't sat anyone down and asked these questions, or even about stuff pertaining to herself. Stiles, our investigative genius hasn't even sat anyone down and picked their brain! True, though like you said, some of them have half-decent reasons that might give them a pass. Especially Liam. Allison until mid-season 3A had a good excuse, Lydia was actively trying to ignore it/use it only when necessary until mid-season 3B (still trying to be "normal", whatever that means, I suppose), and Stiles?

Stiles has a good excuse during and AFTER S3. But in the months prior to that, between 2 and 3? Yeah, that's entirely out of character. Especially after finding out that there are countless other supernaturals running around in the world, not just wolves.

Scott, though....... absolutely no reason I can think of not to ask any of these questions, at ANY TIME. He IS a werewolf, and unlike Lydia, it is sort of the only thing that defines him (apart from being a good person.....). And if he doesn't learn these things, HE COULD DIE. Horribly. In pain, and other nasty things.
