Being 'more werewolf than Scott' has nothing to do with Omega or Beta designation. In s1 Laura, his alpha, died and he renounced her killer as 'not his alpha.' He had no alpha, thus he would've been an Omega until he accepted Peter as his alpha, and Peter accepted him.

Then he became an Alpha by killing Peter, and lost his Alpha status when he healed Cora, but there was no other alpha that he followed for at least a day, again, Omega. Scott then became a True Alpha, but Derek left town for a while with no visible discussion of submitting to Scott's leadership. Now, a lot of people consider Derek discussing things openly with Scott and doing the things he's done as submitting through action, and not needing it to be verbally laid out for our viewership, and I can accept their reasoning, so at this point now, it's reasonable to refer to him as either, IMO, because its a bit muddled from lack of clear writing what the status quo actually is.
