I feel like Scott's alpha spark can't be taken away or stolen by someone else. They didn't earn true alpha status, so why would they inherit his? But seeing Scott go back to the beta yellow eyes again would be weird.

I'm curious about something else with true alphas. If a true alpha kills, do they lose their true alpha status? Maybe the definition of a true alpha isn't just about killing though, but more about moral character.

What makes you assume Scott can't have his spark taken? Logically, that makes little sense to me.

I'm not trying to sound rude or mean-spirited but I don't understand how or why ppl lend illogical attributes to a "True" Alpha. The adjective "True" only indicates how that Alpha earned the spark. Period.

Scott may have earned his Alpha spark but that in no way, shape or form is indicative that he couldn't have it taken. He is simply a werewolf that became an Alpha by a rare means.

Wolfsbane still poisons him and soundwaves of a certain frequency still affect him. In other words, he still shares the same weaknesses as the rest of the species, with few exceptions, like the mountain ash barrier.

It's been stated several times: Alpha, Beta and Omega - A werewolf, regardless of current status, can become any one of those. Hence the Triskelon tattoo on Derek's back. It's his reminder of the werewolf "circle of life".

I just know someone is going to point out the mountain ash barrier thing, the thermal wire and/or the electricity torture failure but those are all logical feats a "True" Alpha is capable of since they "earned" their status via force of will. Can they all do it? That answer is the same as the answer to 'Can all werewolves mask their scent?' Depends on the werewolf.
