Like i said you don't need any betas to be an Alpha. Your right about wolves being able to kill each other in real wolf packs. Which is the way we've seen it so far before Scott. Peter stole Lauras and Derek stole Peters. Scotts "true wolf" is basically the equilvalent of when a lone wolf becomes an alpha just by being stronger and other wolves coming to respect that strength. This to is apart of normal wolves as sometimes betas break away from packs to form their own packs. Laura didn't need a third wolf for anything becuase she wasn't trying to make a pack and with everyone ones theory being that some how when laura died than derek some how magical became his beta with out him knowing then technical speaking Cora would have to still be counted as a member of their pack I don't believe either by the way.

That was a concept I liked, but then they had to go and screw up by making the whole "True Alpha" thing a kind of "Chosen One" destiny sort of situation. That was a rare case of Deaton providing exposition that I wish he hadn't. It would have made much more sense to say that any werewolf can ascend to become an Alpha by garnering the respect of enough Betas, rather than saying it's a rare, once-in-a-century kind of miracle that just happens. Because, and let's be honest here, other than being nicer to Isaac than Derek was, Scott has not actually done any kind of epic hero journey here. Indeed, he survived three seasons because he has some of the best backup a young werewolf could ask for, not because he himself actually been all that extraordinary.
