Scott's father likely is just a normal human; the whole idea of a "bloodline" seems too cliché and simple for the show.

He's meant to be some kid with asthma, who got bitten by a werewolf. He traded one set of problems, for another. Motel California reinforced the point, when Scott was covered in gas. I'd much rather prefer that he's an Omega who went above and beyond his place for his "pack" and became an Alpha. No other werewolf shown so far has as much interaction with humans, and Scott basically leads his group of humans. There isn't a pack dynamic for humans so humans' don't have an Alpha or Betas, but Scott as a werewolf does. Since he's acting like an Alpha - despite it being humans, maybe he'll grow into the role,   if he hasn't already. Perhaps he's been an Alpha since he started leading his friends way back in season 2, and he's just been in denial / hasn't realised.

Derek even says to him that he has his own "pack" when Scott and co are trying to hide Lydia. His "potential" probably comes from this and his past actions, rather than inheritance or a chosen one role.
