Scott's whole chosen one alpha trope is just ridiculous... and he's weak, as pointed out by that omega who kicked his ass. Scott's weakness is, in my opinion, due to two reasons:

1) He's still getting a hang of the werewolf thing. He's MUCH further along than before, but he still lacks experience as a werewolf. Hell, he'd only been a werewolf for a year and a half when he became Alpha.

2) He really didn't have an actual pack. The only werecreature in his pack was Isaac, and they've stated that the basic size of a pack is an Alpha and three Betas and that an Alpha draws strength from the size of his pack. Derek and Peter were off doing their own thing. Cora's gone. Boyd and Erica are dead. Kira and Malia just arrived, and Scott refused to acknowledge the twins as pack members. I know that there's Lydia and Stiles, but their presence does not increase Scott's strength the way that werecreatures do (Well, maybe not with Lydia... not sure how a banshee would affect things).

Now Isaac's leaving, which means that Scott is an Alpha without any Betas, unless Derek joins the pack. This is not a good thing. He'll have to bring some shapeshifters into the fold, which is where Kira and Malia come in. I can only assume that there will be others who will join as well, given that Beacon Hills tends to produce a lot of them. Peter might want to join Scott's pack, but I can see Scott telling him to shove it.
