Technically, if he's killed by another werewolf - that wolf would be Alpha.

If he died of natural causes the situation is more complicated.

Unfortunately, we don't have a clear understanding of the natural line of succession within packs.

I've reached out to Jeff and the folks at MTV in hopes of clarification. While they offer no specifics, I'm told much of the first half of Season 3 may clear up many of those questions.
