Theo wants to become an Alpha, this is clear. He can't take the power from Scott, he isn't his Beta and he's unlikely to get Liam to do his killing again. He intends to absorb the power of Le Bete instead.

Why would he do that, if it was just any old Werewolf? It must be an Alpha or an Enhanced Alpha, or contain the Spark of an Alpha. Otherwise, there is no point. Theo practically implies it with what he intends to do. Just going to chime in here. What Theo wants is power. What he has always wanted is power. He killed his sister for power. It's unlikely that he even knew what an alpha was at that point. He intended to take Scott's pack and his alpha status for power. He revived chimeras, instead when that fell through.

Wanting power doesn't necessarily mean being an alpha. The Beast could be a really big bad omega, for all we know. Theo doesn't know. The painting is in no way an exact representation. Neither creature looked even close to their "real" counterparts in the painting.

What we DO know is that the Beast is powerful and Theo wants that power. Could the Beast be an alpha? Sure. Does Theo give a single care if it is or not? Probably not, as long as he can still whatever power it has....which is tremendous either way.
