The True Alpha status is built out of character.It only makes sense that once he loses his character,he loses the power.We have seen Scott do things that would have taken away the status of a normal alpha.Like being killed multiple times and coming back with the alpha status.

All this seems to be because he hasn't been born or stolen that power and his spark replenishes because of his character.If Scott kills someone,he will see himself as a killer and it would literally kill that character out of him.

Maybe that is the reason Scott wasn't healing when he lost control of his pack.Because he lost a part of his confidence.He wasn't his usual self and he just became a depressed confused character with no idea how to go ahead.He also seemed totally out of character when he wasn't leading and had no sense of self worth.

It seems like a valid reason as to why he wasn't healing and showing much strength but the moment he gained control of his pack and got back his confidence to lead,he healed and got back his strength when he threw 4 Eichen House nurses like they were a bunch of ragdolls.

I am not saying that Scott would definitely lose his status if he kills but morelike he'd lose it if he loses his character along with it.Just like Theo can kill without getting blue eyes because killing people and doing horrific things doesn't affect him and his character.But Derek,gets haunted by his past all the time and that is why he felt a part of his soul missing which took away his eye colour.

But knowing Scott,I'd definitely say that he'd lose his character if he had to murder someone,no matter how bad that person is.He'd always see himself as a cold blooded murder and the killing would haunt him,no matter what.That would drain him of his character.And then his alpha status would melt away.

This is my theory based on evidence till where we have seen.
