Peter explained that each werewolf (Beta and Omega) has a "spark" inside of them, but Alphas have an extra spark and healing another werewolf would mean giving up that extra spark, leaving the alpha with only one spark, ergo reverting them to a beta. So when Derek heals Cora, he'll lose a spark and revert back to a beta, right? WRONG!!! The hole giving up an extra spark thing and turning an alpha into a beta is true, but what about an alpha that's killed member's of its pack? Deucalion said when an alpha kills a member of its pack, they take an individual part from the beta they killed, in this case, the spark. All the alphas in the alpha pack are naturally stronger than normal alphas, because they have the sparks of all their pack members, so giving one up wouldnt make a difference. Remember, Derek was forced to kill Boyde, so he took Boyde's spark, meaning Derek has a total of three sparks. When Derek heals Cora, he'll lose a spark, but there's a slim chance he can still be an alpha, or this theory is totally blown out the window and Derek becomes a beta, OR they make it look like Derek has become a beta, but he's actually just weakened and later on he regains his alpha abilities. Just a thought. I think that might just be stretching things a bit and in the end be more confusing that its worth for use as a plot device.
