In my opinion: A werewolf attains the status of "True Alpha" through the strength of character or force of will alone. A True Alpha's spark can only be taken by a Beta of his or her creation. Theo's plan was to get Liam to kill Scott, so he could take the spark from Liam. After his plan was ruined by Mason, he cut his loses by killing Scott (though he was resurrected) and went with Plan B: Become the "Alpha" of the chimeras.
