That may be true but the whole point is Derek must have his pack alive - it is crucial at this point now that there is something "coming". He cannot affored to lose any of them right now - it would be too risky and cumbersome to find another one that has potential. All three of them have control to some degree over their abilities and that control can only improve - if he tries to find a new one now - he will have to start all over again with training the newbie.

Plus if one of them dies then he will really start to doubt his abilities as an Alpha and become even more vulnerable - it would also hurt him terribly because not only would he feel responsible but he will have lost yet another "pack" member and he's lost too much already.
