You haven't missed anything. I don't recall it being specified if the human members of the Hale pack were born into the pack, or were spouses who were considered too old to safely bite when they married in. The canon is extremely inconsistent about how risky the Bite actually is, or how werewolf reproduction works. All three of Talia's known children were werewolves, but she was an Alpha. That may increase the likelihood that her children would be werewolves. Maybe Betas are less likely to have werewolf children?

In S2, Derek seemed to indicate that an Alpha needed at least three Betas to form a true "pack". That was why he went and bit Isaac, Erica and Boyd. How true that is we don't know. Peter didn't seem in any hurry to get to three, or else he would have bitten Stiles whether Stiles wanted it or not.

It would be interesting to see what Scott starts to feel here. Will he feel the urge to Bite people since he has only one Beta that he has officially accepted as his pack? Or does the presence of Aiden and Ethan and their desire to be his Betas diminish that urge somehow?

The packs that came to Beacon Hills for the big gathering seemed to all be werewolves, but it may just be that they did not like to expose their human members to danger. However, the flip side of that (and another unexplored piece of things) is why they wouldn't when dealing with Hunters. Human pack members may not have superhuman abilities, but they would be unaffected by the Hunter's ultrasonic emitters and wolfsbane gas. Give them some guns and they could serve as anti-Hunter backup.
