Jeff Davis does a great job of keeping up with a natural teen lifestyle in addition to the supernatural, so we should consider that kind of stress on Scott. He is slowly and gradually testing the waters of his powers and strength. A general werewolf like Jackson (what he thought he would be) would go head first and use these things to their benefit, ergo general omegas/betas/alphas. In my opinion, I think that is what separates Scott from the other werewolves and alphas. I think when it comes to saving Stiles, his mom, or anyone else he truly loves, he would/will completely go true alpha on Beacon Hills. As a fandom, we have to remember that although the show is essentially 3-4 years old, the time in Beacon Hills is much more compressed. I think that he has only recently became adjusted with the fact that there are other supernatural creatures in the world. In this small time, not only has he had to accommodate a new lifestyle, but he has jumped to the top of that food chain, making him a new target. Me personally, I would be hell-bent on getting out of Beacon Hills because that is serious stress, but Scott can accommodate.

I dont get where this theory is coming from about scott holding back. We've only ever been giving two instances of scott intentionally holding back and only one of them had to do with a fight and that was at the beginning of this season. The other one is when he told Argent he tries to ignore what he can smell. The easiest answer is just that these enemies are stronger than anything else that have been shown on screen.
