From what we've been told. On the other hand kincaid didn't know that at the time. Also i thought he might even be getting and recieving power from Kira as well but after rewatching it her eyes don't glow. Which begs the question is the "Pack" really just those three with the other three just kinda of being there. I know we're all considering them "Pack" but i know there use to be a conversation about whether humans and other creatures would actually be considered pack members as far as energy transfer went. I personally believe not after seeing that scene. IIRC, Jeff Davis said being pack was more of a mental/emotional thing. Like, there's no "you're part of my pack now. Here's our trademarked leather jacket with a wolf's head logo on it," thing. It's more of a "I actually feel comfortable around you and feel like I can trust you with my life," thing. In that context, Stiles, Lydia, Malia, Kira, and Liam are part of Scott's pack. Even the Hale pack, before the fire, had humans as pack members.

As far as the energy transfer goes with human members, the only time we got close to getting an answer was that scene where Scott, who entered Stiles' mind with Lydia, roared and Stiles came to his senses and was split from the Nogitsune's possession. That is, if you don't count him reacting to Scott's roar in Eichen House.
