Not to put the kibosh on this lively discussion, but this is already established canon. You can't take the "adds power" too literally unless you're talking about the Alpha Pack who absorbed whatever spark their betas possessed and therefore literally took power from them.

The whole thing about a pack is the same as a family, you draw strength from each other, you learn from each other, and the Alpha is stronger because he has so many people who have his back. He is more confident because he knows he can depend on his friends.

You know Jeff, he designed this whole pack thing around the concept of how friend groups are our chosen families. It's more lovey dovey than metaphysical.
