Okay. But the rule to being a True Alpha is that you gain that power by striving to become one based on your own will and strength to endure. Just like Scott did.

If Ethan or Hayden stole his power, then they wouldn't be True Alphas, just plain normal Alphas, that in turn could get their Alpha status stolen by basically any other werewolf.

In my opinion Scott status as an Alpha should not be something that could ever be stolen, if it can't by werewolfs that weren't created by him, then even his own Betas shouldn't be able to do that also. Scott power could only be given away, but never stolen. And only if Scott killed to steal another werewolf power, would he lose his True Alpha power and become just a Alpha, which power could then be stolen or taken by any other werewolf.

After all Scott has to live with the downsides of being a True Alpha he should also live with some perks.

If we look at every Alpha that rised to that status by stealing power from others, then stealing is by far the most efficient method. Best example being Deucalion. He wasn't a True Alpha, only a Alpha even during Talia's time. But he was mostly a pacifist. But even so, I'm sure he got to be a Alpha by battling his way through Betas and maybe even other Alphas. Then he was turned evil, by Gerard actions. He formed a pack of other Alphas and I'm sure he killed a lot of other Alphas along the way, seeing the reputation he got and also the Demon Wolf power he gained. Hell. He even killed one of his own Alphas like he was nothing. Even Jennifer aka Darach had to make all those sacrifices so she could stand a chance against Deucalion, and when they faced off Deucalion basically laugh in her face and told her all those sacrifices were for nothing because she was still weaker than him. And he was right. Jennifer main plan depended a lot on the blood moon to take away Deucalion power.

So stealing seems to be Teen Wolf message. Especially if what one gains by hard work and willpower can simply be stolen by his own Betas. That's why I defend my opinion that Scott power could never be stolen only given. Or if he stole power in return, then he'd lose the benefics of being a True Alpha. This to me would be a much better message. If you steal something then you can get stolen in return, but if you earn something, then it couldn't be stolen, only given away or passed on to someone of equal worth.

Call me a dreamer if you like. But to me it would be better this way, than to simply defend betrayal and stealing.
