I think the root of all of this problem was Jeff's decision to make an alpha state of being rather than a title. When I first saw this, I knew these problems will come up.

Teen wolf Canon

Alpha >> Beta which is probably > Omega

But what if a Beta had been training since they were born werewolf and are like 32 years, so they have like 25-27 years of continous training, and there comes a werewolf bitten an becoming an alpha in like a year. Does this beta automatically lose to new alpha, just because he's an alpha?.

I should probably make this a separate thread question The Alpha in a year would usually win but the common case of a werewolf becoming an Alpha is by stealing it (at least by what we've seen in the show so far). Those who are able to kill (or help kill) an Alpha are already pretty strong and experienced. Derek and the Twins (Deucalion taught them how to merge with control) are examples of this.

But there are cases when it goes down to the next in line, and that werewolf may be passive or innocent in nature. For example, Laura Hale was an Alpha who was killed by a Beta/Omega, Peter. Peter may not have had more natural strength than Laura but he was far more experienced and aggressive. However, Peter did likely sneak attack her; she wouldn't be expected her uncle to kill her.

This is not the case with Scott, who has been a werewolf in many fights before becoming an Alpha, and has been an Alpha for more than two seasons now. He's so inconsistent because of the plot.
