Which is one of the reasons why people come up with theories such as "the immortal/eternal Spark". Because otherwise werewolves everywhere would/should be incredibly freaked out whenever one of their Alpha's died. And that hasn't been shown. Ergo, theories that border on fan fiction? Just to be clear, none of this is in anyway fan fiction. This is simply logic applied to the TW universe in regards to the werewolf species survival, whilst still acknowledging that the reason it hasn't been addressed is probably because Jeff hasn't thought to address it yet, rather than anything else. Anyway, this has run on for quite some time, and I've got things to do.......uh.... ciao, Paulie, I guess? ;)

First - you neglect the other way a werewolf can attain Alpha status - the stated but not explored "born to it" mentioned in Season 4.

Second - Whenever something is based solely on something you think that a character "would/should" do/feel instead of what they actually say/do, you're presenting your feelings alone. That's not a "fact" on which you can then base an unsubstantiated theory.

Third - There is no shortage of Alphas. We had six in one season. The Teen Wolf universe is lousy with Alphas.
