You did say something interesting about how Scott doesn't view being a werewolf as being a good thing. In season 1 he felt like he was cursed, but in the later seasons he seems to have accepted that side of himself. So he represents an interesting duality. He seems to accept being a werewolf but doesn't view it as gift. Well, he has been more than happy with the elimination of his asthma, and the superhuman physical abilities that allowed him to become a star lacrosse player. So, like a classic teenager, he is happy with the benefits but doesn't like the price.

As we have discussed on other threads, there is the mystery of Derek's S2 claim that an Alpha needs at least three Betas to have a real pack. It was presented by the show as being some kind of instinct (which accounted for Peter biting Scott and Lydia). Yet Scott does not seem to be feeling any urge, although I suppose if you count the twin's voluntary efforts to join Scott's pack, he does technically already have three Betas.

Scott does enjoy those perks. . . otherwise no lacrosse.

I think the at least three Beta's to form a pack rule is set up to prevent the Beta's from ganging up on the Alpha and taking the Alpha spark. Three is probably the "Goldilocks" number that is the most manageable if the beta's rebel and provides a decent amount of power.
