The whole rank think seems to be poorly-developed. I won't even get started on the whole Betas/Omegas thing again. But the only one in the Alpha Pack with actual subordinates was Deucalion (and maybe Kali). Ennis, Aiden and Ethan didn't have any. Likewise, the canon seemed to shift back and forth in seasons one and two. Peter bit Scott and Lydia (the latter didn't take), but didn't seem to be in a hurry to bite anyone else to the extent that he seemed willing to wait for Stiles to really want it. But in season two Derek indicates that to be a "real" Alpha he needs at least three Betas and after the Bite seemingly fails on Jackson and Scott refuses to join his pack, he selects the three most emotionally vulnerable teenagers he can find.

Now, Scott is supposed to be a "true Alpha", even though it could be argued that he has only one Beta, Isaac, since Derek, Peter and the twins are all off doing their own things (but don't call them Omegas!). Nor does Scott show any evidence of feeling an instinct to Bite anybody and make more Betas for himself.

Scott never felt the need to submit to anyone either. So he's always been a bit of an oddball. Didn't they say something about him forming his own human pack back in s1 or s2? Maybe they are considering Isaac (actual beta) Stiles and Lydia, and maybe even Allison? As human betas? Either way, it's weird, and I hate how much stuff gets left out, and changes. It's like, this show has so much potential to be so much better than it is, I want to walk up to Jeff give him a double back hand, shake him by the shoulders and yell at him to 'JUST HIRE SOME FANS TO GO OVER YOUR DAMN SCRIPTS!" We'd all be better at going over stuff and making sure it jives with past season than whoever they hired.
