The alpha of the wolf pack is not stronger because he is an alpha; he is the alpha because he is the most strong/ cunning/ vicious/ dominating. So, everything else equal, the alpha of a large pack will probably be stronger than the alpha of a small pack because it is a numbers game and a larger pack has more potential “strongest” to filter through. However, that is not to say that an alpha of smaller pack cannot be stronger then one of a larger pack. In fact, it is conceivable that a beta (or even omega) would be stronger than some alphas of packs out there. It just becomes more unlikely the stronger and bigger the pack. So I can accept that all alphas, betas and omegas aren’t made the same (so someone like Kinkade could be an exceptionally strong Omega that just so happens to be packless).

Also remember not all wolf breeds are the same size or have the exact same characteristics (grey wolf, red wolf, artic wolf, etc.)

Where the wolf pack to werewolf pack power comparison starts to fall somewhat is that werewolf aphas actually draw strength and power from their pack (rather than just being the innately strongest) so in default they should almost always be stronger than betas and omegas that draw power from nowhere else. I can accept that due to his small pack, Scott is not really drawing power from anywhere so maybe that’s why he couldn’t measure up to an exceptionally strong Omega like Kinkade but as a True Alpha (something not occurring in 100 years!) I would think his strength of Will would make him at least the equal most any Omega /Beta?! The fact that the twins trounced Kinkade and Scott couldn’t even make a dent when Kinkade didn’t even try to protect himself is very confusing and further shows inconsistent power levels.

If the show followed that basis then it would make sense of  his lack of power but it doesnt. The show follows the basis that at an even starting level wolves are determined by they type not by strictly their place in a pack. At starting level 1 alpha should be stronger than 1 omega. Where i would agree with you is say that an Alpha who had no pack at all fought a beta of a very large pack. There i could see that boost that the beta got from being in a larger pack would be strong enough to take on an Alpha. The show reinforces this logic because every time scott has lost the wolf who beat him has been surprised by his lack of power. If it was based off of size of pack then it wouldn't be as surprising.
