User blog comment:Kyrex18/Derek's Alpha status/@comment-4002875-20140120180956

When derek healed cora, his alpha status was neutralized. Unless Cora is the "She-Wolf" that the mexican hunters are looking for. Cora didnt seem to act like an alpha, so im guessing that they are both Beta's. Since Derek is scott's mentor, or pseudo-alpha, he considers him close enough to be a brother and obviously considers him part of his pack, making Derek his beta, and not an omega. If Cora was still on the show, she would be a part of the pack as well.
