He talks about this extra spark that Alphas have, giving them more power. That's the spark Derek is giving up in order to save his sister. But that to me always seemed more like a metaphor. Yes Peter sayed "spark", but he might as well have said to Derek "You're an alpha. You have it in you, the ability to cure Cora, but at the cost of your alpha power."

Which if I'm not mistaken although initially Peter said "You have that extra spark" he also went to explain that if did that, Derek would lose his alpha power. That's why I never took the spark thing seriously. To me it was the same as saying "You're different. You're special. You're more." which was true. Alphas do possess something extra. The simple fact that only alphas can create other werewolfs through the bite, that alone shows a Alpha has something more.
