Ravensong77:Nice question, the answer is that an Alpha seldom dies without leaving a surviving pack member. If you remember, in Season 2, Derek mentions about the meaning of his tattoo - The three rings signifying the ALpha, Beta, and Omega. He stated that a werewolf can rise from an Omega to a Beta/Alpha (Example: Scott), or fall from an Alpha to  a Beta/Omega (Derek himself). My guess is an Alpha always tries to form a pack. Ennis and Kali are exceptions because they actually were the leaders of their own packs before killing them and absorbing their powers (In a sense, Kali still has her own pack, only thing is that it is inside her). If an Alpha does not form a pack and decides to be a lone wolf, it becomes an Omega after sometime, thereby losing the Alpha spark. In some rare occasions, even an Alpha with a huge pack may be hunted down and killed brutally by hunters... In such a case, the spark simply dissipates as no betas might have survived the attack....
