I was telling folks back in season 2 that I thought Scott would become an Alpha due to being a leader and that his pack were his family and friends. Specifically, in the episode when Derek accepts that Scott wasn't going to join him he tells Scott, "You have your own pack." That was when I felt like my theory was justified. Now of course I know that I was right so that made me feel a little better about my theories. Having said all this and giving myself a pat on the back, LOL, I think that Scott can kill now that he is an Alpha. He can kill if it is warranted.

Think about the Mountain Ash pills he placed in Gerard's medicine. How did he know it wouldn't have killed him? He really didn't. Therefore, he was willing and fully aware that he was potentially killing another human being. Scott felt justified in that decision. That is the difference between him and others. He is willing to kill if absolutely necessary but will first try to reach a more diplomatic solution. As a True Alpha that moral conviction will guide him well.
