According to Gerard it is a "lone wolf", without a pack. Which of course would have made Derek one in the beginning, Scott pretty much from 101 until 312 and Peter ever since his resurrection. According to Ethan, Omegas are the lowest ranking wolves in a pack, which conflicts with the prior definition.

In short, the term is meaningless. Alphas are the only "level" with concrete distinguishing traits (i.e. extra power) and even then they can still basically occupy the roles of Betas and Omegas (as the members of the Alpha Pack did under Deucalion). ^^^ THIS! Jeff and the writers change their minds on things kind of frequently. Using Ethan's definition of Omegas (being able to still be in a Pack) and Peter directly calling Derek a Beta even though his pack had no Alpha, it's clear that the original explanation given earlier in the series (that an Omega is a lone Wolf without at pack) is no longer the rule. We really don't know how all of it works until the writers decide to iron it out and explain what the current definition is. One thing is certain from the trailer played on the after show. The twins are no longer Alpha's and at least one of them (possibly both) has Blue eyes.
