If someone is not deeply injured then maybe he can take the power from another alpha who must do the process of taking his pain away. So when the other is an alpha the one who has given up his status won't be anymore. An injured werewolf is actually taking some of the spark of the other to fill his one to heal so if one doesn't need to heal then he can take the alpha's spark and add it to his own spark (which is full) which would make the other beta and him the alpha maybe. I really like this idea. From what I understand you're saying the alpha that is providing the healing has to be willing to give up the spark? I mean being willing or some other explanation would have to come into play at some point since Peter did not take Derek's alpha status when he was resurrected or at least in my thinking.

And on that subject...why did it take Derek's alpha status to heal Cora but he could keep it when he resurrected Peter...I mean I would think that bringing someone back from the dead would take a lot more of the spark than just healing someone.
