I keep reading you talk about this Alpha spark. What spark? There's power. It's as simple as that.

I'm just pointing this out, because you kinda make it seem like everyone has the potential to become True Alphas, but because of their choices they became just Alphas. If that is so, then Scott was lucky (or unlucky) beyond measure.

Teen Wolf werewolfs seem to follow in some ways the rules of normal packs of wolfs. Where there's the Alpha couple, the Betas and the Omega. And just like in normal packs of wolfs the Alpha status isn't something assured. Just like in Teen Wolf, most likely the packs work in a similar way. And as we seen so far, the normal way of doing things is by becoming a Beta, defeat the Alpha and then take his or her power.

So in truth there is no spark. If Scott has a "spark", then that spark is more linked to his personality and what he is. If there's a spark, it's the spark to get beaten down and always get back up. To never give up on his friends. To do what is right regardless of the cost it has on him. So this so called spark would have nothing to do with him being a werewolf, he could be a werepanther or a werecoyote and still the spark would be there, not because of what he was, but who he is. Actually this "Alpha Spark" is mentioned in the Show. Peter talks about it when they look for a way to cure Cora. He talks about this extra spark that Alphas have, giving them more power. That's the spark Derek is giving up in order to save his sister.
