Look, I agree with your premise, and Isaac was pretty clearly Pack seeing as they were living together and working together. Cora is weird, and gone, and I just don't care about her. But Derek has gone through changes throughout the series. I accept him being labelled a beta in s1 seeing as that's how he referred to himself. But since then he became and Alpha, and then lost that status. My personal feelings are he is Pack, but it really hasn't been stated one way or the other what he is right now. And his last known status wasn't beta, it was Alpha, which he isn't anymore.
