I can only guess. Keep in mind we know little still of what makes true alphas so special so I can only make hopeful theories at best.

But I believe it is less to do about sparks and power and more about connection. Remember Scott couldn't heal himself until after he rounded everyone up to go save Lydia. This included Liam-his beta, Malia-werecoyote and Stiles-human, Kira-girlfriend/kitsune.

Now it could have been psychological. If you remember in 3A when he thought Derek was dead the guilt he felt kept him from healing from his wounds. So I do admit it is possible Scott's guilt and shame about his actions leading to his pack dissassembling in the first place could have been what led to his healing not working.

But like I said, Scott is a true alpha. We do not know exactly how he similar to a regular alpha or how he is diffrent. Look at Derek, he is an evolved wolf, capable of transforming into a full wolf form and was strong enough to take out a berserker single handed. Or look at the Beast. Sebastion was such a twisted human hu had a monster form, was able to use shadows to transform and was much more powerful than a standered werewolf.

My point being is that some werewolves are special cases. Like it has been said sometimes the form reflects what you are on the inside I think that a true alpha works a tad diffrent than the standered werewolf.

If Sebastion was able to be a unique type of werewolf because he was so wicked, who is to say true alphas can't be unique as well.

As such, I think spark or no spark, wolf or no wolf a true alpha draws power from everyone he considers a part of his pack because true alphas are more spiritually pure than regular alphas who get their status through death and vilance. It's not a matter of power but rather metaphysics.

Sorry if I was rambaling, I sometimes put waaay too much thought in these things.
